Looking for a simplified version of going raw?

lady25mo2001

I am primarily interested in going raw because of the health benefits but also because I want to really simplify my life. Unfortunately the more I read about raw food the more complicated it seems. I hate the idea of sprouting, dehydrating or soaking food for hours and hours. Is it feasible to do a raw food diet that doesn't involve these steps or will the diet be too plain and unsatisfying? I'd welcome any and all opinions, thanks.

Hi lady25mo2001,

I can identify with the frustration, but as others have said, you CAN make it simple. I have found it best just to soak nuts and wash fruits and veggies. Then I grind the nuts in the grinder attachment on my blender to make a pate, and keep that in the fridge. I can eat that with whatever fruit or veggie I want, and make smoothies with the blender. That seems to keep things to an uncomplicated level for me and I eat a lot of salads, smoothies and veggies with a simple avocado dip.

Keep trying simple things to find out what combination works for you. Sometimes it is hard to come up with variety for 3 different meals a day, all raw, but it comes with time!

Best wishes .
