Raw for a day

Interested in what a day in the life of a raw foods follower looks like? Here’s an example menu from The Rawtarian, a popular raw vegan blog operated by author and nearly 10-year raw veganite Laura-Jane Koers.

Breakfast: Green smoothie, large serving of fruit, raw granola or raw oatmeal made from sprouted greens

Morning snack: Fruit or small serving of raw nuts or seeds

Lunch: Salads with healthy fat (avocado, extra virgin olive oil, or crushed nuts), a soup, raw noodles, raw veggie burgers, or raw vegan meatloaf

Afternoon snack: Raw crackers, fruit, vegetables and dip, raw vegan cake or pudding

Dinner: Lunch options or a raw pizza “cooked” in a dehydrator at low heat

Dessert: Raw cheesecake, raw brownies or raw puddings
