Spaghetti with Low Fat Salsa at Arnold's Way!

Follow me on facebook at:
facebook.com/justdoitraw

Arnold made me a beautiful and delicious spaghetti with salsa for lunch. I wanted to get the recipe for everyone and myself to enjoy at home!
The recipe is spiralized zucchini spaghetti noodles, with a salsa made in the food processor including roma tomatoes, dates, red bell pepper, raw nori, and mango. The nori is optional, I usually don't have nori on hand myself. However, it does give the salsa a nice texture and flavor!
 It took me less than 5 minutes to make. It is very easy to put together, and looks absolutely beautiful!! Cilantro would also go great in this dish or any other herb. You can always dress it up on the plate with some fresh green herbs.
Enjoy!

Frozen banana smoothie on a cold day? Not for me!!

When I run out of ripe bananas on a cold day, that doesn't mean I have a freezing cold smoothie! I quickly thaw my frozen bananas by filling up the blender with warm to hot water. It makes a warmer smoothie! It is quick and simple, and has saved me on days when I'm out of ripe bananas.
Hope this trick helps you all keep on drinking your smoothies through the cold winter days to come. Just do it raw =)

Daily Smoothie + My Freezer Tour!


This is literally my everyday daily fruit breakfast and lunch smoothies. I use two handfuls of frozen fruit, and add a bunch of ripe spotty bananas (5-7). I buy a lot of frozen fruit now! It's cheaper than supermarkets fresh fruit. If it's not bananas and frozen fruit, then fresh ripe fruit! In the summer, a lot of fruit is cheaper so I buy it and freeze it myself to make smoothies cold. Now, I am buying frozen fruit to add more variety into my high carb low fat raw vegan lifestyle. I have frozen blueberries, strawberries, mixed combo fruit bag, and mango.
I love smoothies with frozen fruit and bananas! Such great combos!
Just do it raw =)

Raw Vegan Spaghetti Salad (no blender needed!)

I wanted to show my delicious spaghetti salad for dinner! First I made the spaghetti by spiralizing the cucumbers, and adding the red onion, scallions, and tomatoes. I tossed and mixed that in very well so the flavors and textures were combined. I let that sit for a little bit as I prepared my greens to let the flavors marinate. Then I put all of that on a bed of greens: spinach, arugula, and baby romaine. I also put in some baby carrots on the side ! This is a very easy, colorful, beautiful, and delicious quick salad you can put together! Although it did not have a sauce, the greens and spaghetti gave the salad a very enjoyable texture. The tomatoes and onions flavored it perfectly.

My Typical Breakfast Date Smoothie

I usually eat a banana, date, and berry smoothie for breakfast and lunch on a high carb low fat raw vegan diet. It is very filling, sweet, satisfying, and holds me over to my next meal, no problem! Smoothies are great for on the go, and very convenient to bring to work, school, and out. Smoothies like this one usually take me 10 minutes to make AND drink (with chewing)! They are very quick, and super delicious! Better than any milkshake I have ever had !! Bananas and dates are a staple in my diet because they have lots of calories! They are high sugar fruit which gives me lots of energy to keep going through my day and help me to get everything done! Usually I put more bananas than dates in my smoothies, but I loves lots of dates in them as well!

Smoothie recipe:
about 30 khadrawy dates
5 bananas
about 7 or 8 frozen strawberries
 
Enjoy!!! =)

Raw Vegan Thanksgiving, Fruit Turkeys!!

Follow me on Facebook:
facebook.com/justdoitraw
 
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! This was my Thanksgiving raw vegan fruit turkey! I shared it with my family and friends, and they all loved the idea and said it was so cute and delicious! I brought the pineapple turkey over my friend's house, and they loved it! Let's just say there wasn't much of the fruit feathers left, everyone went bananas over them! Enjoy these yummy fruit turkeys!
Base of fruit turkey: pineapple, small watermelon, cantaloupe, honey dew melon
Make sure to cut off and make a flat surface at the bottom of your base fruit so it is stable on the plate.
Fruit Feathers: pineapple, apple, pear, grapes, melon, strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, grapefruit, oranges, watermelon, and any other fruit you would love to put on it!
Cut up your fruit into bite sizes and stick them onto the wooden skewers, then stick all of the wooden skewers into the base fruit to give the look of feathers.
Place a pear as the head on the front using toothpicks, use cranberries for the eyes, red bell pepper for the nose/loose skin and arms on the side of your base fruit.

Raw Vegan Twix, Very low Fat 811 style =)

 
Raw vegan recipes can be as simple as eating two fruits together! Combine your favorite dates to create candy that's unbelievably good for you, so sweet and delicious. If you eat fresh dates, they will satisfy your caloric needs, nutrition, and completely satisfy your sweet tooth. Fresh dates will give you lots of energy!
My raw vegan 80/10/10 twix recipe:
-pit a fresh deglet noor date
-pit a fresh khadrawy date
Then, all you have to do is put the khadrawy in the deglet noor, and that's it!
My 80/10/10 raw vegan twix even looks like the mini twixes, and it's the same color.
Enjoy the recipe, and be happy and healthy! =)

Fresh Dates from 7HotDates.com!

 
Buying fresh dates is great! The prices are very comparable, if not the same or better than conventional dried dates in your area, plus the fresh dates are fresh, organic, high quality, and flavorful! There are lots of varieties of fresh dates to choose from, I like a lot of different varieties of dates =). If you eat a lot of dates on a daily basis, then this is a great place to shop for fresh dates because you can get great quality for a great price!
If you are beginning a raw vegan plant based lifestyle, then having a lot of calories from fruit is essential! So buying fruit in bulk is not only cheaper but you will have enough to sustain yourself! Enjoy =)
PS- A lot of the "firm" halawy and khadrawy dates have the texture of the candy starburst, which just makes them even better!!!

Cranberry Smoothie

I made this video right after Hurricane Sandy, and we still had no power. That's why it's so dark! We had a generator so I made a lot of smoothies at once and have them throughout the day. This way the frozen fruit wouldn't go to waste, because I would eat them in my smoothies!

Checkout my cranberry smoothie. The recipe includes bananas, strawberries, and cranberries! Put in as little or as many cranberries as you like! Keep in mind the more cranberries you put in, the more tart it will be.
See my reaction to my first cherimoya!

Raw Vegan "Chocolate" Covered Strawberries!

I used to dip my strawberries into sugar and eat them. Now, this recipe tastes even better and is so much more valuable to your health! All I do is cover my strawberries with dates, check out the video to see! =)

My Favorite Green Smoothie

I made one of my favorite green smoothies! 

Green smoothies have so many benefits: help with digestion and elimination, you eat more greens, they're very filling. They also have chlorophyll with the green color, and are very nutrient dense! Kale is the most nutrient dense green. Green smoothies are great ways to get your kids, family, and friends to get more fruit, greens, and even veggies in their diets. Green smoothies are delicious, quick, simple, and contain all of the nutrients of the fruit, greens, and veggies. Green smoothies can be breakfast, lunch, or even dinner! Green smoothies can also be a snack. Green smoothies are very filling, and leave you satisfied every time.Go for the green! Yay green smoothies ! =)

My favorite green smoothie recipe:
4-6 leaves of kale, no stem
*3 cups of water
2 asian pears
5 bananas, frozen
handful of baby arugula (if you like the nutty flavor!)

Enjoy! =)
