In our last blog article, we spoke about the benefits of incorporating foods rich in omega 3 fatty acids in your diet. Today, we want to share with you a quick list of raw foods that we enjoy incorporating in the delicious recipes which we share with you, as well as other shared healthy food information.

Raw Food Staples to Keep on Hand

Why do we need a balanced diet? In order to achieve real balanced nutrition, we must get the majority of our nutrients from fresh vegetables and fruits. We suggest adding more raw foods into your diet. With a little preparation and planning, you can enjoy the health benefits and culinary rewards of raw food any time.

Here we have listed our favorite raw foods for you to add to your grocery checklist:

• Leafy greens, including arugula, kale, spinach, cabbage, and romaine lettuce

• Fruits such as blueberries, pomegranates, bananas, mangos and avocados

• Sprouted or cooked legumes, including lentils, peas, chickpeas, and a variety of beans

• Fresh and in-season (organic when possible) vegetables

• Sprouted gluten-free grains such as quinoa, millet, and buckwheat

• Probiotic-rich foods such as raw kombucha, sauerkraut, and raw yogurt

• Soaked raw nuts and seeds

Getting Proper Nutrition On A Mostly Raw Food Diet

When you begin incorporating raw foods into your diet, knowing what to eat can be difficult. Raw foods should be your main source of nutrients every day. Be willing to try new things, but also check out these eating tips to be certain you are getting complete nutrition:

• Consume food having all the colors of the rainbow to get a full spectrum of nutrients.

• Eat a wide variety of fresh, ripe, raw, organic fruits and vegetables.

• Soak and sprout nuts, seeds, and legumes before eating them.

• Make nutrient powerhouse green food the largest portion of your diet. (Perhaps try one of our smoothies!)

• Consume a variety of raw nuts and seeds in moderation.

• Include foods that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids.

• Minimize fried food, processed food, saturated fats, and oil.

• Choose organic whenever possible to minimize chemical residues.

• Minimize meat and dairy products in your diet.

• Reduce/eliminate sweets and concentrated sweeteners like white sugar, corn syrup, and sugary drinks such as soda, candy, and desserts made with sugar.

• Choose gluten-free grains such as buckwheat, quinoa, and millet
