raw goodness

here's some of the best of the raw meals and desserts we've been eating lately. we are both enjoying being raw most of the time and are surprised at how tasty and satisfying a raw meal really can be! people say i could never go raw because i love food too much, but i LOVE food and all that being raw has done for me is help me to love the foods that are good for me more. before transitioning to a mostly raw diet, we were vegans who tended to eat a lot of soy meat alternatives and whole grain products. we ate plenty of fruits and veggies, but rarely ate them in salads. i love that this way of eating has us eating salad everyday. we feel so much lighter and energized and have lost the bloated feeling we were getting from our previous diet of heavy whole grains and over indulging in soy products. now we indulge ourselves with delicious food all day long including the best part - raw desserts! here is our top favorite raw dessert that i found from averie at her blog.

raw chocolate chip cookie dough balls

she has many wonderful recipes that we love, including her raw vegan chocolate bars and raw vegan peanut butter cookie balls. there are many more that i look forward to making. the above pictures include recipes from a few sources, but several come from another favorite raw food blog called rawon10. if you think you need more fruits and veggies in your diet, go to either of these sites for inspiration! i've bought a few cookbooks, but i keep going back to these two great blogs for our daily (not bread) raw foods.
