The food processor became my new best friend this past week. It was my main “stove” during my 7-day raw vegan challenge. To tell you the truth the 7 days flew by and I felt like I barely scratched the surface of the delicious world of raw vegan (non) cooking.
So far, I’ve discovered there’s a raw option for cuisines like Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, even Mexican. One of the recipes I’ve learned is how to make raw vegan tacos.
I got the recipe from a blogger friend, Spring Vegan.
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 bunch of collard greens, washed thoroughly
- 1/4 cup almonds (I used a combo of almonds and peanuts)
- 1 1/2 tsp cumin powder
- 1 1/2 tsp coriander powder
- 1/4 tsp chili powder
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/8 tsp minced garlic
- salt and pepper to taste
- tomatoes
- raw olives (I left out this one)
- avocado
- cilantro
DIRECTIONS:
- In a food processor or blender, process the nuts until finely grounded
- Mix in the oil, garlic, spices, and salt and pepper to taste. Process until incorporated well.
- Transfer to a bowl
- Place a collard green leaf on a plate and add your ingredients in the middle: nuts, tomatoes, avocado, cilantro
Feel free to top it with other ingredients and vegetables.
You may also wrap them completely for raw vegan Taquitos:
Enjoy!
Here are other raw vegan goodness I’ve been eating from the past few days:
Blueberry Almond Butter ice cream. Recipe from Junia of Mis Pensamientos.
Sushi filled with cashew cream and raw vegetables, wrapped in romaine lettuce
Alive & Radiant‘s Cheesy Kale Chips (not the actual quantity, I was eating them when I remembered to take a photo)
Sun Power Natural‘s Fruit Burst Cookies.
My next post will be concluding my 7-day adventure as a raw foodie. I had great fun learning the even more guilt-free lifestyle. Rest assured I’ll continue to learn more raw recipes and have fun along the way.
Great job! You always find the coolest recipes. That is such a creative recipe.
Thanks Farrah!
I’ve enjoyed your raw adventures! The raw tacos look great. I crave raw foods as the weather gets warmer b/c of the cool, crisp fresh taste.
Thanks! Yea, the challenge had the perfect timing =)
Holy moly!! Everything here looks…so fresh and healthy and beautiful. Especially the tacos…sigh.
Thanks! It was very refreshing thanks to Spring Vegan. And soon, I shall learn from you too with your 7 day salad challenge =)
Thanks, Richgail! That ice cream and the fruit burst cookies look quite good. I think I need to do a raw week really soon.
Thanks to you I’m learning all these creative raw dishes!
Everything looks lovely, and I bet it was delicious too.
I was raw vegan for a little over a year. I always ate a high amount of raw foods before.. You’re definitely not limited eating raw foods, so many options out there, and it gave me a chance to be creative.
Warmer months are the time when my diet is mainly raw food, since I have so much of a variety of vegetables and fruits, and the majority is coming directly from our garden.
I agree, raw food gives people a chance to be creative. I definitely will still make raw dishes now that the challenge is over. Btw, I love that you’re growing your own food!
these raw tacos look unbelievably delicious! i love this type of food
Thanks! Twas yummy

I love your ice cream recipe. In fact, I’ll make it again tonight..so simple and easy to make, not to mention, delicious!
Wow this is a great one! I’m sure if you come to Mexico, you will figure it out if you rely on their Farmer’s markets and local produces at the groceries, you should be fine making raw vegan! Love it.
Lots of love to you both gals! xx
