I am so happy with how this recipe turned out! It was one of those meals where I use what's available in my fridge and pantry. With just few ingredients and seasoning, you can too create an amazing healthy meal for you and all your family.
This is a raw plant-based recipe. I have been eating plant-based for more than two decades now. The push to stop consuming meat was definitely my love for animals. I remember that my thinking process at just 7 years old was that I shouldn't be eating living beings. Then, at age 13, I took the best decision of my life! From then on, I have been living in harmony and a compassionate life with all earthlings.
Since then, I have discovered which foods help me thriving. I noticed the more raw food I eat, the better I feel. My nutrition is based on a predominantly raw vegan diet. The extremely hot weather for most of the year we have in Malta encourages this type of nutrition. I mostly crave hydrating fruit and vegetables anyway. The higher the water content, the better.
It’s not about the food in your life, but the life in your food!
Gravitating towards nutrient-dense foods that contain vital life force has lead me to experience so many health benefits.
Here are some benefits I experience when I am on a high raw vegan diet:
1. Increased energy levels
2. Hormonal balance
3. Great post-training recovery
4. Keeping a lean body
This is my personal experience and in no way I am saying that it works for everyone. But surely you can try these Smashed Cauliflower Bites. It is easy, quick and budget-friendly.
