Do any of you follow a raw vegan diet like this?
I feel best when I do, however I cannot seem to get enough protein. I really do best when I have a high amount of protein daily. I have hemp and brown rice protein, but that would get really boring.. I need something else. When I just do the protein powders I feel like something is missing when I eat only fruit, salads and occasional kombucha/kimchi..
I do NOT feel good when i have high amounts of fats however. I get bloated, uncomfortable, lethargic, my skin breaks out, I feel depressed and life just sucks. I gain weight very quickly when eating high fats [uh.. obviously].
I have searched the site for a bit looking for crackers/breads that do not have nuts or seeds in them [no flax or nut/seed butters either]. I don’t really use oil, so that’d be out too. I haven’t really stumbled across any though.
I feel like it’s probably impossible to have dehydrated foods while being high protein/low fat. :[ I don’t want to be constantly eating dehydrated foods, but I’d like to find such recipes so I can enjoy them without feeling gross.
Any responses greatly appreciated! Thaaaaaanks!

I love protein as well. Before going raw, I would eat giant egg white omelets for dinner. Right now I’m getting most of my protein from powders too. Today I spouted some lentils, and they are very filling. They taste strange to me, so I’m looking for recipes to mask their flavor.
It’s been mentioned on here that the Raw Power protein shakes are supposed to be pretty good. That might be another option for you.
!!!! I didn’t realize anyone had responded to this, it must have slipped out of view before i could see the replies. Thanks lionmouse and nuttgirl!
Lionmouse, I think sprouted lentils taste very straange.. i don’t really care for them at all. I’d eat them if i could find a decent way to mask the flavor/maybe texture…
I guess I’ll just continue experimenting and see what happens.
Does anyone here basically eat no nuts/seeds/oils at all?
