Hi! I have been a vegetarian for two years, vegan for 6ish months (not as consistent as I like) and am now looking into going raw. It seems like a logical progression to me, but I am not sure where to start….

Firstly, I live in a small town with two small (and expensive) health food stores. I’d like some ideas for simple meals/recipes that don’t involve fancy ingredients or gadgets.

Secondly, was how hard was it to make the transition to raw? Going vegetarian wasn’t a problem for me. Giving up animal products (cheese mostly) has been a great deal harder. I also found veganism led me to more packaged/processed/carb-y foods and I really want to detox from these.

Any help/guidance would be appreciated!
