Raw Vegan & Healthy
This recipe is SO delicious and flavorful, it’s hard to believe it’s made from raw plants! I love kelp noodles because they are prepared in minutes, are nutrient dense, and contain little to no calories. Simply rinse and separate the noodles with your hands, submerge them in warm water, and massage with baking soda and lemon juice.
In addition to being easy to prepare (no cooking!) raw vegan meals contain so many whole nutrients. The cooking process can destroy nutrients, so eating foods in their raw form ensures you are getting the most nutrients possible. There is no need to eat an entirely raw vegan diet as it can be unsustainable long term, but incorporating raw meals like this one into your diet can yield incredible health benefits.
