raw food and why

[Veganforlife]

Green smoothies. Because they are a quick, energy-filled, complete, living meal that is already broken down so your body can assimilate it quicker.
That's a loaded question however. I was sitting here thinking of all kinds of recipes, and then it came to me. Nope. Green smoothies!

If we're talking recipes then it would either be the onion bread, the nacho cheese, Swiss cheese or the stuff the kids said tasted like crazy bread. Why? They taste good.

For sweets I like RP's brownies and variations, also the lemon chews with extra lemon. I am not much for sweets but these were easy to make and everyone liked them.

For snacks I like my faux Sahale snacks. Again they just taste good.

For prepared foods I like the Go Raw pumpkin seed bars. They also taste good and make a pretty good complete and filling meal.

I also like pumpkin seeds. They just taste good! Pecans and walnuts. Same reason. Also cerely and bell peppers.

But nothing beats warm off the plant, freshly grown tomatoes, strawberries or peas. Yum!

There's a link that is started, by my favorite is
2 cups filtered water
handful of greens (I like spinach, but you can use green leafy lettuce, kale, etc.)
a banana
another fruit (lately I've been using pears, prior to that I was using a couple slices of frozen pineapple - tasted like a green creamcicle)
blend in a high speed blender
I DO recommend Victoria Boutenko's book, "Green for Life". Awesome book all about the benefits of green smoothies.
Experiment and have fun with them.
I call them my Shrek shakes ;)

So far it's been the first one I tried - "crunchy tacos"

[Raw Jewelrylady]

I am going to edit myself-If we are talking fav foods & why-
Bananas & avocados & berries :)

You can eat them all plain & be totally satisfied or you can use them in sooo many recipes.

Those are the foods that I run out of the fastest-as I use them all daily.

I LOVE the chocolate macaroons and the chocolate pudding from Raw Food Real World!!

By the way what are RP's Brownies and where is the recipe??? If it's chocolate, i must have it!

[Svadhyaya]

I love fresh blueberries, avocados, red bell peppers, and mangoes.

[Lady Green Jeans]

Lately it has been spinach--spinach salads with mango and Thai dressing or Alissa's Indian spinach dip, which is awsome spread on cucumber slices or stuffed into celery.

My favorite gourmet dish would be an even tie between Alissa's ravioli and RFRW's lasagna.

[konmai]

persimmons! :D
