...raw food diet plan is probably much better, but is also a lot more difficult to follow. Going on the raw food diet plan is a great way to detoxify your body and it also helps you lose weight, if properly followed. Raw food recipes can include ingredients like salsa, pesto, guacamole, hot chocolate and chocolate cake, ice-cream, sashimi, raw cheese, raw granola, raw honey, young coconuts, fresh salads and smoothies with raw versions of food. However, this plan should include important nutrients, protein, fat as well as carbohydrates that are required by the body. You can get all of these, in the form of raw green leafy vegetables, fruits, seeds, grains and nuts. A raw food diet plan is quite different from the vegetarian diet plan, the vegan diet plan and the macrobiotic diet plan, as the raw food diet menu includes most foods, but in their raw forms. The prefect raw food diet menu plan includes the following meal options -

  • Breakfast: Fresh fruit, flax meal, coconut water
  • Lunch: Smoothies, wheatgrass, spinach and herbal tea, coleslaw made with avocado, homemade sunflower-seed pate on slices of cucumber.
  • Dinner: Carrot soup, avocado soup, green juice, tai lettuce wraps
  • Drinks: Water, smoothies, almond milk, coconut water, fresh juice.

The following raw food green smoothie is a classic example of other raw food recipes:

  • Peeled orange - 1
  • Avocado - 1
  • Apple - ½
  • Banana - 1
  • Stalk Celery - 1

Blend all the ingredients together to make a healthy, filling and refreshing drink. You can also include any other fresh, raw green vegetables and blend them with the fruit. You could also try variations of this recipe, using spinach and pears.
