Being raw is no small feat, but staying raw on the road is something that’s at the next level of difficulty. I try to not obsess over being raw when it’s too hard but I do make an effort to have breakfast and my snacks raw. Sometimes I want something heavier than an apple or [...]
My roots are Asian so I naturally gravitate to such flavours. One of the things I found unsettling in the beginning of my raw journey was that I was encountering so many unfamiliar herbs and spices that I never used regularly. I was excited to try new recipes but I found that I wasn’t as [...]
I made a lot of raw pad thai (click here for the recipe) for lunch one day so I packed the leftovers for a bento the next day. For a while I was hooked on blueberries and almond butter so I had to tote a little container along. Prep time: 2 minutes I’m a little [...]
When I first tried maca, I loved it. It reminded me of Horlicks, a malty milky hot drink, that my grandmother made for me before bed or as a breakfast drink. For several months, I put maca in any smoothie I made but I found that the strong flavour didn’t suit green smoothies (at least [...]
I’ve never found napa cabbage attractive to eat but would do so in Asian soups and use it in my own homemade kimchi. But I got sick of romaine wraps so I grudgingly tried napa cabbage and it’s awesome! The leaves are very firm and holds veggies well and the taste when raw is so [...]
If you asked me this question early last year, I’d be hard pressed to tell you what a typical raw food intake day was like because I was experimenting wildly with new recipes every week. As mentioned, I’ve “graduated” from eating a nut heavy diet to a more fruit and veggies based one. In the [...]
Green melons are cheap in Tokyo now — just 400JPY (USD4.40) for a small one, so am enjoying melon smoothies in the morning. Cut half a small melon and add a cup of water, then blitz it in the blender. Why am I relishing in melons? Well, melons, especially rock melons, are ridiculously expensive in [...]
I haven’t posted a raw dessert in a while because I’ve just been making the ones that I love. Raw chocolate truffles are a staple for sure and so easy to make and I’m all about saving time, as you can see. But once in a while, I do like to experiment and try new [...]
Hi everyone, I’d like to say thank you to those who have said a few kind words over at my angsty update here. I’ve got an awesome raw cereal recipe I’m just bursting to share. I poured in some Flax 4 Life Flax Granola (Hawaiian Pineapple, Coconut & Mango flavour) into a bowl and loaded [...]
