Tips needed for raw vegan diet?!
I am almost vegan now. I eat fruits for breakfast, fruits for snacks, fruit smoothies for lunch. Evening I have a slice of bread with peanut butter, and some carrot juice. My only problem is dinner....i eat a cooked meal for dinner.
Can someone give me some tips for raw vegan dinner, that doesn't take much time to prepare? I am thinking of salad, but I am wondering if there will be enough protein in a salad. I don't need much, currently am taking like 10-20 grams of protien a day (which is enough for me). So if someone can recommend an easy to make raw vegan dinner, that would help me out greatly (No more cooking...yay)
Thanks for all answer in advance!
Answers:
The first things you need are two books- "The Complete Book of Raw Food" by Rodwell / Baird. and "Raw Food Made Easy" by Jennifer Cornbleet. There are plenty of simple recipes that don't require specialty equipment, like a dehydrator.
For a quick dinner, you can always have lettuce wraps with guacamole or cashew ranch dip with veggies. If all you want is a quick source of protein, eat an avocado.
Raw food does take a lot of preparation. I think I spend more time "cooking" now, than I did when I ate cooked foods.

Just a forewarning that the raw food diet is incredibly restrictive. And you probably know that a lot of the recipes are complicated.
Nuts are really good in salad and it is fairly easy to make cashew cheese (I know that sounds gross, but it is really good.) Lettuce wraps are super easy and great:)
Have you tried Almond milk? A good source of protein...just get unsweetened or make your own.
