raw foods: I am nearly 100% raw vegan and here is some foods I commonly eat and have in my fridge/cupboards. -assorted green leafy vegetables -high quality, cold-pressed, stone-crushed vegetable oils (usually olive, flax, and coconut) -superfoods (bee pollen, goji berries, raw cocoa, maca root, hemp seeds, etc...) -nuts and seeds -homemade nut milk -raw sprouted grain bread -variety of in-season fruits -sea vegetables (kelp, nori, etc) -avocado's and coconuts are two of my staple foods|||Fruit, nuts, seeds, some vegetables like carrot, pumpkin, salad, celery, lettuce, radish, beetroot, sprouted grains and sprouted beans are eaten by some vegans. Too much of anything is not a good idea and some plants such as cashews are in a food group of their own, so fewer rather than more may be better. Variety is important. Cooking cruciferous brassicas (Broccoli, Brussels sprout, Cauliflower, Cabbage, Kale, Rapini, Chinese broccoli, Chinese cabbage, Komatsuna, Mizuna greens, Oriental mustard, Pak choi) may reduce the goitregenic factors in them. Potato, eggplant and tomato can have some toxic effects.|||In addition to being vegan, I'm a low-fat whole plant based eater. The only plant foods I don't eat raw, are mushrooms and whole grains that require cooking to help break down the cell membranes. I haven't tried it, but perhaps our Vita-Mix blender would work to break down those cell walls. I eat flaxseed meal for Omega-3s for fatty acids and avoid all other oils. I love green smoothies made from ice, kale, banana, and orange. Most plant foods I eat raw, but I avoid nuts, avocado, olives, and seeds. These are high in calories and fat. (Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, Jr.) Someone told me that if you are 75% raw plants, I've been told that you can call yourself a raw foodist.|||Here is a sample: DAY 1 --Breakfast – fruit smoothie: 5 medium bananas, 2 *Ataulfo mangos, 2.5 - 3 cups water. (Blend) --Lunch – 4 large peaches --Pre Dinner – 2 cups pineapple --Dinner – salad: One half head Romaine lettuce, 1 cucumber, 3 tomatoes, 4 stalks celery * Ataulfo mangos are also called champagne mangos.

DAY 2 --Breakfast – fruit smoothie: 3 medium bananas, 1 cup strawberries, 2.5 - 3 cups water. (Blend) --Lunch – 1 honeydew melon --Pre Dinner – 2 cups grapes --Dinner – salad: One half head Iceberg lettuce, 1 cucumber, 2 tomatoes, 4 stalks celery, 1 avocado|||I usually start the day with a smoothie. (Frozen bananas, fresh OJ, agave nectar) Lunch will be flax tostadas with guacamole and salsa, dinner is nut burgers on onion bread For a quick snack I usually grab a LaraBar and a coconut water. Dessert might be a chocolate "milkshake" or walnut brownies.
