raw recipes

A raw diet isn't just wheatgrass shots and cold cucumber soup. Even though there's no baking allowed, someone eating a raw diet can still enjoy deliciously decadent desserts. These uncooked treats are 100 percent vegan and full of delicious, chocolatey flavor.

Vegan Chocolate Mousse

Traditionally made with cream, processed chocolate, eggs, and sugar, try a raw version of this decadent dessert. This creamy treat is made with soaked dates, avocado, homemade almond milk, almond butter, cacao powder, and agave. Just blend in a food processor until smooth, refrigerate, and delish!

Raw Coconut Brownies

Soft and chewy, brownies are usually off-limits on a raw food diet, but this raw recipe made with almonds, walnuts, dates, and unsweetened shredded coconut will not disappoint.

We love recipes that are fast, easy, and healthy! Like this recipe for a Mexican-flavored raw bulgur bowl from FitSugar reader Sprint2TheTable, who posted it in our Healthy Recipe group.

Did you know you can prepare bulgur RAW in 15 minutes?

The crunch from the raw bulgur was awesome, especially with the creaminess of the avocado. I think it's a lot like oatmeal so I ate it for breakfast. Think about it: many people put salsa on their eggs. You can often find avocado on breakfast sandwiches. Why wouldn't you put it on bulgur?

If you can't stomach Mexican that early, try it out at lunch! It's a great way to add more raw food (and protein!) to your diet.
