Inspiration for this recipe was from a Pinterest post for Raw Vegan Spring Roll in a Bowl, I loved the vibrant colors of the purple cabbage and carrots against the greens of the snap peas, avocado (I forgot it so … not pictured) and green onion. I chose to adapt the original recipe and pair it with a Miso Ginger Dressing because, well…. I’m just not a Peanut Sauce fan. I’ve never been much for peanuts or peanutty (that’s a word, right?) things. Did you know peanuts aren’t nuts? Nope. They’re legumes.

I’ve also been searching for really tasty raw vegan recipes that I can adapt and share. I love that I can throw together a raw meal in a few minutes, perfect for quick lunches! I don’t think I could every make the complete shift to a full time raw vegan but I do love the concept of eating food in its natural state. For me though, I love warm foods so I think it comes down to balance. I really like the idea of raw lunches and prepared dinners. I personally don’t do breakfast, I’ve almost always unknowingly did intermittent fasting. I will drink coffee, green tea, and a lot of water between 8am and 1pm. I could expand a lot of the intermittent fasting, but, for now, I’ll save it for it’s own blog post.
