Raw Menu planning, DVD, other?

[Guest guest]

As a new raw foodist I need help planning my weekly menu's. I really

want to make sure I get enough of all nutrients.

Anyone know of resources for raw menu planning?

web sites? DVD's? books? raw nutritionist? anything?

thanks so much!

As the person in my family that does 100% of the cooking (or

uncooking ), this was a big concern of mine. One of the

challenges I have is that my bf will NOT eat raw. He doesn't like

most vegetables, none the less raw ones!

 

Here's a couple of tips I've used:

 

1) Make things simple, which also happens to be healthier. Eat

fruit for breakfast and snacks. Either eat it whole, cut it up into

a fruit salad, or blend ANY fruits you like together for a

smoothie. For lunch, have salads, soups, or sandwiches made from

dehydrated bread. Keep in mind that many soup recipes and

dehydrating are a little more complex.

 

2) Try one or two new recipes each week, but otherwise stick with

your easy meals. Remember, just because it's called a salad doesn't

mean that you can't have a different salad every day.

 

3) Go to your local Borders, Barnes & Noble, whatever, and pick up

all of the raw food books. My B & N had a bunch. I sat down and

skimmed through all of them. I decided on 3 because they each had

something different. One had a TON of recipes, another had

comprehensive info on sprouting and food digestion, and another had

a nice mix of both. I now have 4 books and enough recipes to last a

lifetime!

 

4) Pull out your recipe books or look online for recipes at the same

time as looking at your sales fliers. Is your grocer having a sale

on something? Use the same concepts you've used in the past, just

with different ingredients.

 

There are a TON of websites out there with raw food recipes and

help. Simply trying googling something that you'd like to have.

Just remember, being a raw foodist does NOT mean you have to take

days and days to prepare a meal!

 

Good Luck,

Jenn
