Why make Raw Vegan Recipes?
Because raw vegan foods give me absolute life! Oftentimes, when were are putting heat on our foods, they lose nutritional value very quickly.
I love to eat fully raw or high raw vegan recipes at least once a day or a few times per week so that my body can fuel up on delicious fruit and veggies!

How to Make Raw Vegan Tacos
Step One:
Start with soaking your sunflower seeds (or walnuts) overnight. This is optional but it’s to help release the phytic acid found in all nuts and seeds that may cause indigestion or an upset tummy.
In a food processor or blender, put your seeds, coconut aminos, and dry seasonings and pulse for a few seconds until a crumbly “meat” like texture has been achieved.
Step Two:
Slice your red cabbage into thin strips and chop your tomatoes into tiny cubes. Feel free to add other raw toppings like jalapeño for a kick! Now, carefully peel away long strips of your romaine lettuce and wash/dry them to prepare for our taco shells.
Step Three:
Here’s where the fun part starts! Load up your tacos with the taco “meat” first, red cabbage, tomatoes, and a generous dollop of that cashew “cheese” sauce. I also sprinkled a lot of coconut aminos for extra flavor too, enjoy!
