Today I am going to share the easiest way I have found to get in at least 1 raw meal a day and that is having a smoothie for breakfast! I have never been a raw vegan but I like to eat at least 1 raw meal per day and I definitely found that it is easiest (and most beneficial) to have this meal in the morning at breakfast.
First, it is the most beneficial because your body absorbs the nutrients from the raw food (like fruits and veggies) better on an empty stomach. Secondly, I find it way easier to have my raw meal in the morning because I tend to eat less when I first wake up compare to other meals.
My Raw smoothie recipe:
- fresh unpasturized juice (I like orange)
- spinach
- pineapple
- strawberries
- blueberries
- banana
All you have to do is blend all the ingredients together in a blender (or in the nutribullet) and you have a fresh, raw breakfast that is kid friendly too!
If you want to change it up, you can add:
- coconut milk
- vegan protein
- flaxseeds
However, please keep in mind that if you add some of these extras, the smoothie would no longer be considered "Raw vegan" but it still would be "vegan".
Try having a smoothie each day and see how fast your energy levels increase. I also find that smoothies are great for reducing bloat!
