Sometimes, you just need a recipe that comes together quickly. If you’re crunched for time or don’t want to put a lot of effort into a meal, you are going to love this recipe. Toss all of the ingredients together, pour the dressing over the slaw, toss to coat, and then serve. You’ll have a vibrant, herbaceous slaw that you can pair with almost any entree, but you can enjoy it on its own without hesitation. In fact, you may have to put your fork away to prevent yourself from finishing the entire bowl!

One of the best raw vegan hacks out there is to use pre-packaged salad mixes that you can buy in grocery stores. You have most likely seen broccoli slaw or cabbage slaw mixes. These are perfectly acceptable to enjoy during your raw vegan diet, but make sure that you do not use the nuts, dried fruit, or dressing that comes with it, provided those are included in the bag. Those items are not cleanse-approved. For convenience purposes, those bags are great options, and that is what we are using in this recipe today. Should you want to cut your own ingredients, you can use the following:

• 2 cups shredded green cabbage
• 1 cup shredded carrot
• 1 cup shredded broccoli stems

You can then add the freshly chopped cilantro to the mix. That’s it for the slaw, but what would a slaw be without a delectable, vibrant dressing. Unlike a traditional coleslaw recipe, this raw slaw does not have a dressing with a mayonnaise base. We decided to add tahini to the dressing to get a creamy consistency and subtle nutty flavor. Once you make the dressing, pour it over the slaw, toss to coat the ingredients, and serve immediately. We hope you love it!

So…you’ve been on a quest to find new, interesting raw vegan recipes that keep your taste buds interested in raw foods during your cleansing journey. Well, did you ever think to make ceviche using mushrooms? Ceviche is a traditional South American dish typically made with two essential ingredients: fish and lime. Many people include different types of seafood, such as octopus and shrimp, in ceviche recipes, but one thing is for certain: the seafood never comes in contact with any heat source. The “cooking” of ceviche happens when the seafood marinates in the citrus juice.

Instead of using seafood, this recipe calls for nutrient-dense mushrooms, which take the place of seafood. Because mushrooms have a meaty texture and absorb the other flavors so beautifully, you will not miss the fish one bit. Mushrooms are very low in carbohydrates and calories, but supply a lot of valuable nutrients. They contain trace minerals, some B-vitamins, protein, fiber, and some vitamin D, the amount of which depends on how much sun the mushrooms absorbed while growing. Mushrooms also contain high levels of beta-glucans, which are compounds that keep immune cells alert, and ergothioneine, which helps lower total inflammation.

As for the other ingredients in this recipe, you have a little wiggle room. We decided to include tomatoes, red bell pepper, jalapeño, red onion, avocado, cilantro, and limes, of course. Should you want to change some of the ingredients out for other raw vegan produce items you prefer, feel free to do so. The important step is just to let everything marinate in the fridge for about 30-60 minutes before serving. We hope you love it!

A vibrant beet berry smoothie with orange and homemade almond milk is a nourishing fusion of earthy vitality and naturally sweet, sun-ripened fruits. Beets have a raw, somewhat grounding essence, which pairs beautifully with the bright, tangy notes of the raspberries and orange. As always, banana brings a smooth, mellow sweetness that ties everything together, and makes for a creamy consistency. With unsweetened, homemade almond milk as the base, the texture of this smoothie is light yet satisfying, clean on the palate and slightly earthy up front, but it finishes with a refreshing citrus-berry twist.

This smoothie isn’t just something you you call “healthy,” rather; it has real benefits for your entire body. Beets are naturally rich in nitrates, which the body converts into nitric oxide, a compound that helps relax and widen blood vessels. This ultimately improves circulation and helps lower blood pressure within hours, according to some studies. That same mechanism can also improve the delivery of oxygen throughout the body, helping your muscles use less oxygen during activity. Researchers encourage people to consume beets to help enhance endurance and stamina. Raspberries bring lot fiber to the party (around 8 grams per cup), in addition to antioxidants like anthocyanins and vitamin C. These compounds work to reduce oxidative stress and support metabolic and brain health.

Those are the standout ingredients, but we cannot forget about the supporting cast working behind the scenes to encourage total wellness. Like raspberries, orange provides vitamin C, which plays a direct role in immune function and collagen production for skin health. Bananas offer potassium, an essential electrolyte that works to regulate fluid balance, nerve signals, and muscle contractions. This smoothie isn’t just a refreshing breakfast option; rather it is a true health bomb!

Who doesn’t love the heavenly combination of hazelnuts and chocolate? They come together to form a harmonious marriage of flavor, resulting in a delicious treat that is perfect for an afternoon pick-me-up or evening dessert, especially if you are cleansing. You don’t even have to bake this energy balls. Simply blitz the ingredients together in a food processor, form the mixture into bite-size balls with your hands, and then freeze for an hour before enjoying. They taste remarkably similar to Ferrero Rocher chocolates, only they are made with simple, all-natural ingredients.

Unlike a lot of energy bites, these ones do not contain oats, peanut butter, or protein powder. These contain a mixture of nuts, dates, raw cacao powder, sea salt, and water. That’s it! Should you want to get fancy or add a tropical flair to these energy balls, feel free to roll them in desiccated coconut once they firm up in the freezer. Dates are soft, sweet, and chewy with a subtle caramel-like flavor. They are the binder in this recipe, mixing with hazelnuts, which offer a buttery, slightly sweet flavor. Some say that hazelnuts have notes of cocoa, which is why they pair beautifully with raw cacao powder.

If you find that the mixture is not coming together in the food processor, add an extra tablespoon of water or extra dates, depending if the mixture is too thick or watery. If you want to enhance these energy balls with more nutrition, feel free to add a tablespoon of chia seeds. Just note that that addition may require a little more water to aid the blending process. We hope you love this recipe, and let us know if you want to see more like this one.

This cucumber salsa is very similar to a classic pico de gallo, but this contains cucumbers. Not only do cucumbers provide added crunch, but they are also cool and refreshing. Due to their water content, cucumbers and tomatoes help enhance you hydration efforts. Think of this salsa as a way to increase your water intake while enjoying something that is highly addictive and subtly spicy. If you do not enjoy spicy dips or salsas, then feel free to omit the jalapeño. Just know that the natural sweetness of the mango and cherry tomatoes balance the heat from the jalapeño.

Yes, jalapeños can be spicy, but there are ways to tame the heat if you cannot handle spice. First of all, you can remove the seeds and the white pith inside to dramatically reduce the spice level. Believe it or not, the most of the heat is in that white pith because it has the highest concentration of capsaicin. The seeds are in direct contact with that pith, so the capsaicin oils transfer to them, which makes people think they are the spiciest part of the pepper. Additionally, to keep your fingers from transferring those oils to your eyes, nose, or other parts of the body, rub some fresh lemon or lime on fingers that touched the jalapeño. After that, wash with soap and water before you start touching your skin.

It only takes about 10 to 15 minutes to chop everything up, but the cucumber salsa comes together quickly after that. In fact, you can enjoy it right away, but it does taste better after you allow the flavors to marinate for an hour or two. Pop it in the fridge and take it out when you are ready to serve. You may not want to make it the night before, or else the cucumbers may lose their crunch. It is so tasty that you can eat it on its own as a salad, use it as a topping for raw tacos, or put it in lettuce leaves to enjoy.

You are likely familiar with vegetable platters with a central dip (typically ranch). If they are homemade, you are likely to see radishes mixed with the baby carrots, celery sticks, bell peppers, broccoli florets, or sugar snap peas. Some people love radishes for their crisp texture and peppery flavor, while others choose to avoid them completely. Roasted radishes are a completely different story, as they almost take on a sweet flavor during the roasting process. They are truly special, which is why we thought to blend roasted radishes to create a vegan “hummus” dip.

This hummus, which really is just a dip made from blended radishes and other ingredients, is a real game changer for your dip game. The peppery kick from the radishes gives the mild flavor of traditional hummus a run for its money. You’l love this roasted radish dip because:

• This creative spin on a traditional hummus has fewer carbs, as the radishes replace chickpeas. That also makes it keto-approved.
• It only requires six simple ingredients and 30 minutes of your time.
• It contains heart-healthy nutrients, such as fiber, so you can snack guilt-free.
• You use basic, affordable pantry staples with the radishes, so it is budget-friendly.

Which radishes should you use? Use the regular red globe radishes, but those aren’t the only options. You can easily select French Breakfast radishes, which have a milder flavor and elongated shape, or watermelon radishes, which will give your hummus a pink hue. You do not need to use daikon radishes, as the little ones will roast much more easily. Just make sure to give them a good rinse before you roast them.

Craving a little ice cream but want a healthier option that is dairy-free and raw vegan? You clicked on the right recipe! Allow us to introduce you to vanilla banana nice cream, which is a satisfying, easy-to-make alternative to traditional dairy ice cream. It is naturally sweet and uses simple, whole-food ingredients, yielding a creamy texture that rivals its traditional counterpart. Whether you want a clean, plant-based dessert or need to use up some ripe bananas, this recipe ticks every box. It is also fully customizable, should you want to add raw cacao, desiccated coconut, or other raw vegan ingredients.

The reason it is called nice cream is because it is nicer (and healthier) than traditional ice cream. Nice cream is primarily made from frozen fruit, most commonly bananas. Bananas become smooth and creamy when you blend them, almost creating a soft-serve-like texture without the need for dairy. At its core, a nice cream recipe calls for frozen bananas, a blender or food processor, optional flavor add-ins. The simplicity is what makes it so great! When you blend bananas, their natural starch and sugar content yield a creamy consistency. Peaches, nectarines, and mangos have also yield a similar result and offer incredible texture, flavor, and sweetness.

The key to a successful nice cream is frozen bananas. Make sure to peel, slice, and freeze the bananas overnight because you do not want giant pieces of banana. That will create more work for your food processor or high-speed blender. Just make sure to use ripe bananas, as bananas that have a greener peel won’t offer that sweet flavor you want from this nice cream.

If you have an excess of grapefruit in your home, either because you bought a bunch or you have a tree, you want to use them before they go bad. Making fresh grapefruit juice to enjoy is a lovely idea, but you may not want to drink a lot for several days straight. Fresh-squeezed juice expires in a matter of days, unlike store bought juice, which contains preservatives. You can incorporate fresh grapefruit juice into many things, such as smoothies, salads, desserts, or salad dressings.

Adding fresh grapefruit juice to a homemade salad dressing adds a lovely, surprisingly sweetly tart flavor. It adds a little extra zest, especially when you pair it when the apple cider vinegar. Plus, you never really see a dressing that includes fresh grapefruit juice, and it’s never a bad idea to have a few homemade dressings sitting in the fridge, especially if you are cleansing. You want to make sure that you vary your dressings and your salad ingredients to keep your taste buds interested in salads. That isn’t to say that you have to eat salad for every meal, but it is an easy and viable meal option for many of our cleansers.

When it comes time to make the vinaigrette, it is nice to use a blender because it helps emulsify the ingredients into a smooth dressing. You can whisk the ingredients together in a bowl, or you can even add them to a jar, screw on the lid, and shake well to combine. The resulting vinaigrette will not be as smooth. Additionally, if you choose not to blend the dressing, juice the grapefruit by hand, because you can just toss the grapefruit pieces into the blender without juicing if you go that route.

Today, we are sharing a simple green smoothie that may just become a go-to smoothie for you, especially to start your day. In fact, you may just want to make this smoothie every single day. The bananas provide a sweet and creamy base and the blueberries and squeeze of lemon bring a sweetly tart flavor combo. Don’t worry about the spinach because it does not take over the flavor here. Plus, the almond butter and homemade almond milk bring a subtle nuttiness to the smoothie, complementing the other ingredients.

The real nutrient dense ingredient is spirulina, which is a blue-green algae that has 60% protein content. It is one of the few plant-based sources of complete protein, meaning it has all of the essential amino acids that the body cannot produce on its own. Spirulina is also a rich source of beta-carotene, calcium, iron, magnesium, and vitamins A, E, and K. Considered to be a super food, spirulina may assist the body with fighting allergies, reducing fatigue, and enhancing immune function. In fact, 14th century Aztecs were known to use spirulina in herbal remedies.

This smoothie is the perfect combination of nutrition and balanced flavor. The key to balancing your smoothies comes down to four things: fiber, healthy fats, vegetables, and protein. In this smoothie, we have spinach as the vegetable, chia seeds as the fiber and some healthy fats, and almond butter as the primary fat source with some protein. The blueberries and bananas offer beneficial nutrients and provide natural sugars to make the smoothie palatable. If you like this smoothie, let us know in the comments. Cheers to your health!
