Question and Answer Time

I made delicious and nutritious raw pizza yesterday but no photos :(

Soon I hope.


Anyway, someone recently asked me a question and I thought i would post the Q and A here for your enjoyment.

Enjoy!


Q: HELP! I want to be raw vegan but I HATE the taste of most raw vegetables! What do I do, Zucchini Breath?

A: Oh, this one is easy!!

Eat fruit more and you will start to like more veges in time.

When I was young I HATED veges! If my mother could see me now she would not believe I am a raw vegan who eats mostly raw veges!
I still won't touch raw tomatoes or raw okra. Blech.

My BF, who is such a good sport and really trying to eat well, doesn't love the taste of veges raw, either. I give him a green smoothie every morning, sweet with bananas and apples and let him eat whatever he wants for lunch (I don't even ask) and he eats dinner with me, and might or might not snack on something unhealthy aster dinner.
We have a big salad and try out recipes together and like I say, he is such a good sport.

The point is, as long as you are getting SOMETHING healthy in you, you are eating less unhealthy foods.

One thing I can say is that with many recipes, the veges taste much different when they are prepared.

Fast for a day and then eat veges. Things taste much better when you are truly hungry. True hunger changes the way things taste to me and the things I crave.

Keep trying and don't give up. You cannot fail at this and there isn't any hurry, so there is no need to worry. Have an apple and keep studying raw food and nutrition. The more you know the more you will want to eat raw. :)
