Being a Raw Vegan, I get asked all the time "What can you eat?"
FIrst off I CAN eat whatever I want. I generally CHOOSE to eat raw fruits and veggies, seeds, nuts and occasionally raw dairy.
That being said, I know that what they are really asking me is "What DO I eat" to most people raw = carrots and celery.
Period.
I tend to eat simple raw, no sprouting, dehydrating...tons of ingredients or days to make. However there are a million fantastic recipes for the Raw foodie!

Breakfast is usually a green smoothie Greens, spinach, arugula kale, collard greens...a banana some other fruit and a scoop of Sun Warrior raw protein. Keeps me going strong!!!
I will drink the whole blender full. 2 and a half glasses full! Mmmmmm
Lunch can be another green smoothie, a salad....but this day I had one of my favorite meals in general. Romaine leaves spread with hummus and topped with some avocado slices with a sprinkle of sea salt. Sometimes I put olives on instead of avocado...depends what I have.
Lots of times I am not hungry for dinner. Other times I really really want a HUGE salad. No little salad plate with some iceberg cukes and half a tomato for me...I use a MIXING bowl . And I eat all of it! Ok, to be honest some times I cant finish and I have the remainder as breakfast the next day!
I typically do not have desert....but this is another favorite dish, I can have it for breakfast, snack, lunch or dinner. Its an all purpose meal!!!! Banana, berries, some raw chocolate pudding (sugar and dairy free).
Eating raw is much much more than carrots and celery!
