You can count on Labor Day being one thing: hot. If you live on the west coast of the U.S., you know that the heat is real, and spending time outside is difficult. Naturally, many people want to escape the congested city life and embrace nature before fall starts. People seek higher elevation in places like Big Bear, Mammoth, Sequoia National Forest, Lake Tahoe, and more to relish in cooler temperatures.
When you escape the city, you don’t have to abandon healthy eating habits as well. Your diet isn’t the hot weather that you are trying to escape! This is especially true if you are still cleansing. There are plenty of recipes in our cleanse-approved recipe section (click here) that are wonderfully refreshing and tasty. You can make snacks, dips, spreads, entrees, desserts, drinks, and more, and all of them are raw vegan!
Since the primary dishes during Labor Day celebrations tend to be appetizers, beverages, and snacks, we thought we’d focus on those for you. The great thing about the following recipes is that you don’t have to be cleansing in order to enjoy them. Surprise the taste buds of people at your gathering with a few raw vegan dishes. They might find them so delicious that they ask you where you got the recipes and what your journey is. There’s only one way to find out!
