Recipes for Freezing?

[islesgirl]

Please, dear rawbies, have any of you some ideas about the sort of things I can make ahead and freeze? Can you point me in the direction of the recipes? I have many many raw recipe books including Alissa's. Anything I make now I can't eat as I am doing the Master Cleanse. Thank you muchly.:)

this is my (easier) version of the chili recipe from this forum. Love it on several levels- it tastes wonderful, easy to make, & almost all vegetables. Store in portion-sized freezer baggies & freeze, & then, a few hours before you're ready to eat, it goes from the freezer to the dehydrator to the bowl!

Best Raw Chili from Alissa’s Forum


• one to three cups frozen corn
• ¼ cup olive oil
•Celtic salt to taste

Mix above together in a large bowl.


• 2 carrots
• 2 celery
• 1 red bell pepper
• ½ medium onion

Chop each type of veggie individually in the food processor until finely chopped, but not pureed. Add to above.


• ½ to ¾ cup sun dried tomatoes, soaked & drained
• 4 tomatoes
• 2 avocados
• 1 Tablespoon freshly grated ginger
• 2 Tablespoons chili powder
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• about ¼ generous teaspoon cayenne

Process to sauce consistency in food processor & add to above. Stir to combine. Heat to finger-warm in a saucepan, or place in a baggie & dehydrate until warmed through.

Thanks so much banana shake. I just happen to have all the ingredients on hand too so I will be making this over the weekend and freezing it. This means a lot to me. You've been a big help.:)

Alissa's calzone freezes wonderfully. So do the burgers, crackers. I also freeze bananas WITH peels on. To thaw. Simply put in tall glass with lukewarm water. When ready to use, like within five minutes? Cut top off a slip 'nanner out of the peel into blender or FP. It's white, not brown like they get when frozen not with peels on. I also freeze avocados whole!

Wonderful helper you are Veganforlife - I didn't realize there were so many things I could actually prepare and freeze. These will be such a treat to make ahead so I can dive right into them when I start eating again. I have been freezing bananas peeled. But if you say so, I might start leaving the peels on. Actually mine stay white even without the skin. Maybe that is because I vacuum seal them or because I use them up pretty fast. Thanks again.

What a great thread! I have a large family(6 kids) so I would love to be able to make stuff ahead of time that doesn't go bad in a day or so! PLEASE, more ideas!

Soaked nuts in a container ready for quick use.
Containers with pizza cashews,chipotle lemon cashews,popflower(cauliflower cheezy crunch),beet chips and sweet potato chips,
Raw-mesan cheeze(pine nuts,sunflower seeds(chopped in chopper til finer),covered with nutritional yeast and a little himalyan salt.
Coconut macaroons
These are my things for yummy times.

Mmm, these treats sound so good artgirly,but would you please tell us which ones you actually put in the freezer? For example - are your soaked nuts in the freezer? I am wondering because several times I have soaked some nuts and then didn't use them up in time and had to throw them out. Thanks for your input. Hope you are having a fine weekend.

Do you put your crackers/cauliflower crunch/bars in the frig? Don't they get soft? I have put them in the frig out of fear that they will go bad but it would be great to keep them crunchy.
