One of the most common complaints I receive from people concerning transitioning to a raw food diet is how complicated the recipes are. So many contain ingredient lists a mile long and either requires a twelve-step process to make or twelve hours of dehydrator time. Few people have the time to plan meals twelve hours in advance and these complex recipes can be quite daunting for even the most experienced raw-foodies, let alone a beginner.
That being said, some of the most delicious recipes I have encountered are the least complicated you will come by. These raw food recipes for beginners have become staples to my daily diets and encourage great nutrition, amazing taste, while requiring very minimal preparation time.
One such recipe is my super-energizing breakfast smoothie. Called "green drinks" or "green smoothies" among many in the raw food community, this recipe provides amazing, mind-clearing energy through raw, all natural, core nutrients that can be found right in your refrigerator.
