Vegan – Raw Vegan Again

by ladypbwiggins

I wrote this post in February 2021. I was trying very hard to get back to raw veganism but I failed. I didn’t realize how fatigued and depressed I had become in that last year. So my next post will be my beginning again. I must fight through all of this. Our mental and physical health depend on it.

It has been a few months since we have done a completely raw eating plan. It was mainly because of my fatigue amd the ease of eating vegan but not completely raw. Have been preparing foods to eat that need to be dehydrated to get ahead of the game. The plan is to wean ourselves from processed vegan foods and return to clean. The next step is majority meals raw without nuts until detoxification has had ample time to accomplish its job.

I had wanted to make a recipe that would be a great snack. It was called a raspberry buckwheat crumble. I didn’t have raspberries so I used dried cranberries instead. Success.

There has been much talk about juicing during detoxification. I made some juice and my juicer died. I purchased a new one. I decided to try the Caynel masticating juicer. I discovered I could make juice with pulp and without pulp. I made graepfuit juice. Great job. I then made nut milk with it. Almond milk to be specific. I didnt have to strain it and I had dry pulp to be used in a veggie burger recipe. All that’s left is to try the sorbet/ice cream maker.

Today breakfast was raw and dinner was raw. But every meal was vegan.

Raw Onion Rings

by ladypbwiggins

One of the dishes prepared by the Garden Kitchen was onion rings. I thought how hard could it be? Rawmazing had a recipe I chose to try. The directions called for a large sweet onion. Because I was trying this for the first time I used what I had on hand, a small onion. This will explain the size in the picture. I didn’t dredge it twice either as the recipe called for. This was a test run for flavor and dehydration time limit. The recipe uses almond pulp and almond milk. I recommend making your own almond milk and use the pulp left behind. That’s easy too. Homemade almond milk taste so much better than store bought. 

Onion Rings p,55

1 large sweet onion

4 cups almond milk

3/4 cup almond milk pulp, dehydrated

1 cup ground flax seeds, ground

1 Tbls smoked paprika

1/2 tsp ground chipotle

1/2 tsp Himalayan salt

Slice the onions and put in a container with the almond milk. Let it soak.

Dehydrate the pulp left from making the almond milk.

Place dehydrated almond pulp, ground flax seed, spices and salt in the food processor.

Separate the mixture into two batches. Dredge one batch at a time. Place the drained onions in one batch flax mixture. Dip in the milk again then back into the mixture.

Dehydrate at 115 degrees for 6-8 hours or until they are almost dry. The breading should be dry but the onions still moist.
