I love raw desserts, especially in the summer when baking at the oven doesn’t seem as enjoyable. A dessert is still a dessert and you don’t want to eat a ton. But if you want to eat healthy, and still be able to enjoy truly delicious and decadent whole raw plant based foods here is another one of my favorite dessert creations. If you haven’t worked with buckwheat, you are in for a pleasant experience.

When you are trying to eat healthier, it can really help to have easy and quick delicious recipes that can replace unhealthy standards. The combination of pear, banana and vanilla with a hint of lemon really makes this pudding stand out as one of our go-to’s. The key to a successful transition to a high raw life is to keep lots of fruit on hand, both fresh and frozen, while keeping the processed food out of the house!

These bars are a perfect quick and nutritious breakfast or anytime snack. There are three ways to prepare these: refrigerate, freeze or dehydrate. I’ve had them all three ways and they are delicious! Feel free to swap out cashews for pecans, almonds for walnuts, and use dried apricots and dates in place of figs.

This is one of the easiest, healthiest, energy-supporting drink you can make. It’s a perfect afternoon “pick me up”, and also excellent for pre-workout fuel, as well as post workout recovery. Three simple ingredients are all you will need: 1. 2 cups of organic Coconut Water. 2. 1 Tablespoon of Chia Seeds. 3. 1 Tablespoon of a pure Green Powder (my favorite is Vitamineral Green).

When the bowel is clogged, your body is toxic. It is important that your body eliminate waste at least once a day, and ideally twice a day. If you are experiencing issues of constipation, you may be dehydrated, consuming too many refined foods, or not consuming enough fruits every day. Of course, there is a large list of medications that also contribute to constipation which can become dangerous.

Many people are familiar with the Master Cleanse, which is a 10 day program wherein you drink nothing but a maple syrup, cayenne and lemon juice mixture. I do not recommend the Master Cleanse as a regimen on its own, because you are not infusing your body with enough calories on a daily basis. This results in a slowing down of the metabolism which can be hard to recover from, particularly for people desiring to lose weight.

One of the questions I get several times a week from fans is should I juice or do smoothies? The answer depends on what you are looking to accomplish. In a nutshell, NOTHING beats a glass of pure organic vegetable juice. Nothing. It is the most efficient and effective way to bathe your cells in nutrition without the nutrition having to compete with the fiber during digestion.

We drink a lot of citrus juices in the Rawganic house, mostly with fresh organic fruit picked from our own trees. There are so many benefits to orange juice, and it combines incredibly well with pineapple, lime, ginger and also carrots. Be aware that pasteurized orange juice from the store is never a good substitute, even if the juice is labeled “100% orange juice” or “100% pineapple juice” or “100% apple juice” followed by the words “not from concentrate”.

Celery, carrots, parsley and fennel all belong to the family known as umbelliferous. Modern day celery actually evolved from a wild celery native to the Mediterranean where its seeds were once widely used s a medicine — in particular a diuretic. Celery is an often overlooked veggie, usually not on anyone’s list of superfoods or exotic exciting recipe ingredients.

Raw chili can have so many amazing variations and the taste combinations are endless. I like things easy and quick, especially in the summer when we are fairly busy with activities. This raw vegan chili is incredibly easy and you can swap out any of the ingredients for something you have in your house already. Although walnuts are my personal favorite for this chili, if you don’t have walnuts you can use almonds, pecans, or macadamia nuts.
