Chewable raw lunches
Whenever I’m in a raw food rut, I try to get out of it by eating “chewable” raw lunches. Life gets so busy sometimes that it’s easy to fall back on raw soups and smoothies but I tend to go a bit stir-crazy and would crave cooked food more because I feel like I’m not really eating if I’m not chewing.
So here are a couple of “chewable” and yummy raw lunches I’ve been enjoying…
Simple guacamole and carrot sticks with a glass of green juice. I love my guac more when I use red onion, as opposed to white onion (recipe here), and I make the effort to chuck in coriander leaves and cherry tomatoes. This is a very satisfying lunch and I don’t feel I need something more after.
It has been such a long time since I whipped up raw gazpacho and I made this recipe even simpler if that’s even possible. I just used two plump tomatoes, a clove of garlic, a pinch of salt, and a tbs of olive oil that I whizzed up in my blender. I didn’t even need water because tomatoes are very moist. Then I chopped up cucumber, red capsicum, apple, and avocado to make a chunky soup. It was so fresh and simple though the only thing I would change is the amount of salt I used. I forgot that tomatoes can be naturally salty so I would be less heavy-handed with it next time.
What’s your fave raw lunch lately?
