How to Substitute Meat for raw Food Recipes

How to Substitute Meat for raw Food Recipes

The benefits of raw foods are well known, as they are not only the greatest sources of vitamins and minerals, they also contain living enzymes that the body needs to function properly. If you are trying to add more raw food into your diet, there are a variety of ways that you can alter your recipes and substitute meat.

Instructions:

Step 1:
Learn to sprout various beans, legumes, grains and seeds so that you can substitute meat in your favorite recipes with a high protein and nutrient packed food. Sprouts are easy to grow, require very little equipment and are a very inexpensive way to boost your daily nutrition.

Step 2:
Use untoasted wheat germ in just about any recipe to add many of the same nutrients as found in meat, such as protein, B vitamins and iron. Wheat germ is easy to digest, has a lightly sweet and nutty flavor and provides a nice texture in raw soups, on salads or even blended into raw dips.

Step 3:
Go with mushrooms instead of meat. Marinate sliced mushrooms as you would meat, leaving them to soak overnight in oils, sauces and spices and then mix them into your raw food recipes in place of meat. You can even chop mushrooms or place them in a food processor in place of hamburger or other ground meats.

Step 4:
Experiment with various nuts, raw sauces, oils and spices in your food processor to create a nutty meat substitute. For example, mixing wheat germ, raw Brazil nuts, chili powder, raw soy sauce and your choice of other spices makes a great raw meat loaf. Processing macadamia nuts with curry powder and olive oil gets you something of a chicken substitute.

Extremely low-calorie/fat vegetarian foods/recipes?

Monday, January 16th, 2012

I’m on a very strict diet, and I’ve recently lost 20 pounds in the past two months (not exactly in a healthy way…), and now I’m on a very strict diet and looking for something different to eat everyday.

I have an extremely low caloric intake (please do not give me rude responses if you happen to disagree with my eating habits), my intake is around 500 a day.

I don’t eat meat, or anything with a high fat/sugar/calorie count.

Recently my daily diet has consisted of spinach, mangoes, blueberries, greek yogurt, lactose/fat-free milk, oatmeal, kashi cereal, green tea, coffee, and rice cakes…

I really would like some sort of recipes or other foods I can add to my diet so I don’t get bored.
If you list somethings I would appreciate it if you could also list the calories.

Thanks a lot. (:
I’m just trying to get 10 more lbs off, btw.

Not only is 500/day unhealthy, it slows your metabolism and makes loosing weight harder.

You have put your body into starvation mode which conserves weight. Not only that – when you do start eating normally, it will cause you to gain weight. You have started to the road to obesity.

Cover all seeds and nuts in a bowl of water. Soak them for 4 hours. Drain the nuts and seeds. Add to the food processor. Add garlic. Process well until the mixture becomes doughy. Add olive oil to thin, if necessary.

Low calorie vegetarian/vegan recipes?

Wednesday, January 11th, 2012

I’m vegetarian and not the best cook.
I’ve looked on a lot of sites but I haven’t really found anything.
Does anyone have any simple low calorie recipes?
Vegetarian doesn’t equal healthy or low calorie.

I agree that vegetarian food does it always equal healthy! It can be just as easy for vegetarians as meat eaters to get into bad habits or over reliance on some foods.

If you want simple, healthy recipes try to avoid processed or fried foods. You can’t go wrong with stir fry, stews, soups and salads – all with a good measure of vegetables, protein and healthy carbohydrates.

For breakfast try porridge with dried fruits and nuts or whole meal toast with bakes beans.

At lunch, mix salad leaves, cucumber and tomato with your favorite beans and bulger wheat. Dress with a dash of olive oil, lemon juice and season.

Or have a generous helping of soup with a whole meal roll. This is so easy to make at home, just add a combination of your favourite vegetables with beans or lentils to water and stock and blitz when soft. Add seasoning, herbs, spices to taste. For example, use onion, carrot, orange lentils, vege stock, cumin and coriander.

Or you can oven roast a butternut squash and veggies of your choice and serve with quinoa, brown rice or bugler wheat. Or make a stew with a tomato sauce and chickpeas.

If you are really limited for time, stuff whole meal pitta breads with hommos and all the salad and olives that you can fit in!

For dinner, make a vegetable stir fry with tofu or beans and serve with brown rice or noodles. There are so many simple and healthy recipes you can find online! I like to use carrot, broccoli, spinach, peppers, bean sprouts and black beans and cook in a wok with garlic, ginger and soy sauce.

Or make a vegetable curry. Just find a recipe with limited or no oil, ghee or coconut milk.

You can also follow a simple recipe to make a vegetable and chickpea stew with moroccan spices to serve with cous cous.

With most of these Recipes I always cook extra and take a portion to work the following day to save time.

Just remember that if you let yourself get hungry you always end up Eating more! So try to have lots of regular snacks of fruit and nuts.

I hope this helps!
