Many of you have been asking for simple recipes that are comforting in these chilly winter months, when eating raw can be its most challenging time. To be honest, I find myself eating the most raw food in winter! It is probably because the first time I jumped into the 100% raw diet, it was winter time. Something to do with my subconscious, I\u2019m sure.<\/p>\n
In any case though, generally winter is when we crave heavier, heartier, warm foods. When it\u2019s cold, your body is working harder to keep you warm so you want to eat more, as one might expect. So although a fruit bowl may be delicious and totally satisfying in warmer months, it might not be just what you want when the sun goes away and temperatures go down for a while. SO what do we raw foodies eat? Raw soup! For me, it\u2019s the perfect winter meal. It is filling, easy to make and digest (think of it a savoury smoothie), delicious, warming and beautiful.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Instead of cooking soups all day on the stove – which, I certainly can\u2019t deny, creates a heavenly, homey aroma – you simply blend a few whole food ingredients together with spices and hot water. The spices warm you up from the inside out and you feel satisfied with the nourishing bowl of goodness you just enjoyed. The colours are always outstanding, as a plus. But then, aren\u2019t they always with raw food?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
