Just in case you missed it, I posted about kids and raw food over at my other blog. It is challenging IMO to commit to a raw foods diet because it is so different than what we all grew up and with. It also contrasts with what is considered the “norm” nowadays. Kids in particular can be hard to transition away from processed, chemical laden, nutritionally deficient cooked foods. You have to get more creative than trail mix and salad to get the kids on board.
With that in mind I have just released an un-cookbook called Recipes for Raw Kids. It has nearly 90 pages of info, tips, and recipes for raw dishes that are delicious and kid approved. I have gotten TONS of great feedback on it so far and one mom even told me that it is great for adults too that want to eat more raw foods and want to start out simple.
99% of the recipes are raw vegan. There are two recipes in it that are transitional….aka healthier but not completely raw. And of course this book is for strict raw foodies AND people that just want to increase their current percentage of raw foods eaten. Anyone can benefit from more raw food…you don’t have to go completely raw. I know I get turned off by the militant raw foodies who act as though it is all or nothing. I hope this book gives people some creative new ideas.
And if you have a blog or website and want to share this book with others I have an affiliate program you may be interested in.
nothing wrong with kids eating more veggies!!!
Tiffany you are so right! Everything in the health world these days is pointing to raw veggies instead of cooked. Cooking apparently kills so many of the good nutrients.
Raw fruits and vegetables are the key to anti-oxidants, improving immunity and decreasing DNA damage that can lead to cancer, heart disease and even things like Alzheimers.
