hen I first made the switch from a calorie-restricted cooked vegan lifestyle to a calorie-abundant 80-10-10 raw vegan one year ago, the greatest challenge I faced was eating enough greens. I was starved, so eating a large bounty of sweet, juicy, sugary fruits was easy. Raw greens, however, were not as appealing to my saltand-condiment spoiled palate. I’ve got it down now, but it seems I’m far from the only one to face this problem because one of the most common questions I get on my blog is, “How do I get my greens in?!” So for this article, I thought I’d share some of my favorite, original 811RV greens recipes!!
AJ
DLT’s 2 hearts of romaine lettuce 1 pint of cherry tomatoes About 6 medjool dates Directions: First, separate the large lettuce leaves and lay on a plate with the inner leaves facing up. Next, chop your dates into bite-sized pieces and distribute amongst the leaves. Then, halve the cherry tomatoes and add to the lettuce leaves(you can stick ‘em right on the dates). Finally, fold up each leaf as a wrap or taco and enjoy! *Protip: Fresh herbs add a whole other level of flavor to these wraps. My favorite is basil!
Sweet-Tart Green Smoothie 6-8 oranges, juiced 2 cups of fresh or frozen pineapple 1 bunch of Swiss chard, stems removed About 4 leaves of fresh basil Directions: Blend and enjoy!
Sushi Salad 1 head of romaine, chopped 1 medium tomato, diced ½ red bell pepper, chopped ½ cup of chopped or shredded carrot(I run mine through a vegetable peeler to make noodles!) ¼- ½ head of cauliflower ½ avocado, if desired 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated or minced ½ lemon 1 sheet of raw nori Directions: To make your salad base, start by mixing the romaine, tomato, pepper, avocado(if including), and carrots in a large bowl. Set aside. Then, over a cutting board or other large bowl, grate cauliflower with a cheez grater to make raw sushi rice. Finely chopped cauliflower works just fine if you don’t have a grater. Mix the ginger and rice together, then pour over the rest of your salad. Top that with the dried nori- you can either tear it into pieces or crumble in your hands and sprinkle it over the rest of the salad. Finally, add a few squeezes of lemon juice and you’re done! You won’t believe how much it tastes EXACTLY like veggie sushi!

The revolution will not be televised For it can't be sold or advertised Cause' it can't be contained and bottled pint-sized If you can't see it, act not surprised For without a mirror, it's quite disguised It's you, life's plan, silently devised Of your beating heart it is comprised Listen closely within for it's real quiet It peacefully says, don't incite a riot Instead it begins by changing your diet It all starts in the produce section Baby steps to regain your connection To fruit Natures sweetest confection It'll get you higher than an intravenous injection and turn your brain like a neural erection Imperfections will vanish, and glow your complexion It will be quite clear you're in the right direction Voting monetarily, for the fruit farmers, in every day's election And choosing to support our earth's protection The revolution isn't overthrowing administration It starts by realizing our own organization For we are the gears in the machine It's up to us to make sure our fuel's clean All we must do is change our routine and wake ourselves with fruit rather than caffeine And we'll turn off the matrix like a T.V screen The revolution will not be televised
