One of the great things about eating a raw vegan diet is that every recipe exhibits an impressive nutritional profile. Containing both macro and micronutrients, this raw fruits, vegetables, and raw nuts and seeds work to nourish the body and aid with the natural cleansing process. This entree offers healthy fats, fiber, magnesium, water, protein, and numerous antioxidants. The healthy fats come from the creamy avocado, which provides the perfect base for the zesty, cheesy sauce.
You’ll get protein from two primary sources in this recipe: the kale and almonds. The nutritional yeast also offers vitamin B12, a unique vitamin that many vegans struggle to consume in sufficient amounts for optimal health. Two teaspoons of nutritional yeast delivers a whopping 313% of your recommended daily intake of vitamin B12. Nutritional yeast is also the ingredient that makes the avocado sauce extra cheesy! We hope you love this entree!
