Rawrific Herbed Corn Wraps (GF Vegan)

The organic corn was on sale at Sprouts and I had cobs coming out of my ears! ;p

Yields: three 10x14” wraps
Prep: 20 min | Dry time: 10hr

5 ears of fresh corn
4+ tbs tomato paste
1 tsp dry Italian herbs
½ tsp ground flaxseed
½ tsp psyllium powder
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp turmeric
¼ tsp real salt
⅛ tsp pepper

Cut the kernels off the cobs into a large mixing bowl. Add to a food processor with the tomato paste (sundried tomatoes also work beautifully) and blend on high for half a minute. You might need to scrape down once and pulse a few times.
Pour back into the bowl and stir in the flaxmeal, psyllium powder, and herbs. You could also add them to the food processor in the last few seconds of blending.
Let rest for 5 minutes. Spread thinly onto three dehydrator sheets (this is a delicate, somewhat lengthy process for me). Dry for 10 hours at 120F. Let cool before storing or enjoy right away!

Zoodles and Savory Sauce (GF Raw Vegan)

I know it's cold but sometimes you just don't want to cook! Especially if you just did your meal prep for the week. So eat raw!

Serves: 2-3


4 zucchini, spiralized

Savory sauce:
1-2 medium zucchini
2 handfuls whole cilantro
Handful strawberries w/ tops
Handful soaked sundried tomatoes
Handful sliced bella mushrooms
1/2 avocado (would use more)
1 orange bell pepper
1 big celery stalk
2 green onions
1/2 inch ginger

Juice of a lemon

Add all the sauce ingredients to your high-powered blender and using the tamper add just enough water to blend. Water will be released by the zoodles and will thin the sauce. Ignore that it looks like swamp goo!

Spelt Berry Salad (Vegan, oil free, raw option)

I made this salad for a party today and it was a big hit with even some picky eaters. I lucked out!

Serves: 3 | Time: 10 min

2.25 cups sprouted spelt berries
2/3 cup chopped pecans/walnuts
1/2 cup dried cherries
1/4 cup 100% juice*
1/2 large apple, diced
2 celery stalks, sliced
3 tbs red wine vinegar
Salt & pepper, to taste

* I used a cherry and apple juice mix

Wash and soak 1.75 cups of spelt berries. Drain and let sit on the counter under a cloth for 36 hours, with one to two rinses. If you would like to eat these raw, I would recommend sprouting them for at least 48 hours (with an additional rinse).
Add to a pot with 4 cups of vegetable broth. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 55 minutes. Drain off any excess liquid and add the grains to a bowl. Add the fruit juice and vinegar, then chill the grains in the fridge (or bring to room temperature).
Chop all the ingredients. Add to a serving bowl with the cooled grains and dried cherries (sub chopped dates, if you prefer). Toss.
Add a crack of pepper and salt. Also pairs well with this feta cheese but I'm too lazy.

5 Minute Summer Salad (GF Vegan, Raw option)

It's 95F today and I don't want to cook! Need something refreshing, but not too low calorie? This recipe is sure to please.

Serves: 1-2 | Time: 5 minutes

2 cups White Beans*
3 large Carrots
2 Gala Apples
1 hefty Cucumber
1/4 cup homemade Salsa
1 tbs Sunflower Seeds (optional)

* I buy dried beans in bulk and make big batches every weekend. Rinse canned beans well, if using.

Finely chop your fruits and vegetables. Add to a large serving bowl, then stir in the beans and salsa. Top with sunflower and fresh herbs, if desired. To keep it raw, swap the beans for sprouts.
Enjoy :)

Peach Banana Bliss Soft Serve (Raw Vegan)

Serves: 1-2

5 frozen Bananas
2 ripe Peaches
1 cup Water

You can omit the water if you have a Vitamix or want a thicker blend but I found it helpful when blending the peaches. You want to make sure to blend the peaches prior to adding the bananas so that the peel gets shredded.
Make sure your bananas are spotty before you freeze them! Mine were ultra ripe and sweet. I broke them into chunks and froze them for about 20 hours. You can let them defrost for an hour if your blender isn't that strong, but then it might get a little too soft.
Make sure your peaches are soft and juicy! Mine were fresh and room temperature.
This will give you good vibes all day!
Enjoy :)
