Almost raw =)

in New to Raw

Hello everyone! Ive switched from vegan to raw about two weeks now. Is kinda hard to find good raw peanuts and cashews where I live so I make a rice with oats (Only water, no oils or salt.) so I can get my daily amount of proteins. Is there anything I can do to obtain the necesary amount of proteins without the oats and the rice? I want really to become 100% raw =) Thanks!

    Spinach actually has a lot of protein in it. 45 percent of its calories are protein. :)

    Hello The thing is I eat almost pure fruits because…hehehe I dont really like vegetables…I know, Im a weird vegan… And I had a bad experience with sprouting…I dont like them xD Basically Im a fruitarian, but I want to quit rice. So I guess that I should put some green veggies like spinach and something like carrot in a blender and make a smoothie? Thank you for your help! Didnt know spinach was a good source of protein! =P

    I would recommend adding a green smoothie to your daily diet. If you vary your greens everyday, you get plenty of amino acids which make up proteins.

    Here are some links and info on green smoothies. http://www.emaxhealth.com/14/1182.html http://www.eatsprouts.com/blend/green.html

    Thank you green girl. Ill try this week those recipes and see If I can quit my rice and oats. I dont think is not going to be that difficult, actually the rice without salt and just rolled oats is not that tasty ^^ Thank you all of you for helping me to become 100% raw! =)

    I think you are right Pianissima and thank you! Ok, Ive tryed several raw veggies and I dont like them, but I think I can eat green leaves if I put them on smoothies. Now, can you tell me what green leaves are a staple in out diet? Today I throw away the rice that was already cooked and now I need to figure it out what to do with the uncooked one =P Today Im going to market and Im buying chard, spinach, parsley and lettuce. I`ve never seen kale where I live(Latinamerica). Thank you for your support guys I really appreciate this!

    Thank you to you all!!! :D This is great. I have my greens in the fridge now and Ill make a smoothie for dinner and see how it goes. I remember that I only tryed a smoothie once, it was carrots with orange, and it wasnt super great but I liked it. So Ill try today papaya with a little bit…spinach perhaps? =) Thanks again for the help Pianissima and Majomi!
