Hey everyone, I made my first raw vegan lettuce burger yesterday and it was SOOO good! I always thought I couldn't make one of these without having a dehydrator, but I was shocked how well this actually works. It obviously doesn't taste exactly like a burger, being a "cold" patty and a soft texture, but it's still really yummy!! I am definitely going to make this again and experiment with more sauces and try making my own homemade raw fermented pickles too. 😋 Here's the recipe: Burger patty: 1 cup walnuts (soaked at least 4 hours) 1/2 cup sundried tomatoes 3-4 tbsp flax meal 2 tbsp ACV Fresh basil Sauce: 1/2 cup hemp seeds 1 lemon Splash of coconut aminos Fresh dill Garlic clove 1 medjool date Water to blend Burger toppings: Sliced tomato Red onion rings 1/2 avocado Instructions: 1. Drain and rinse the soaked walnuts and add them to a food processor with the sundried tomatoes, flax meal, ACV and fresh basil. 2. Pulse the mixture until it’s well combined and soft enough to mould with. Add small amounts of water as you go otherwise it can be too dry to mix. 3. Shape the burger mixture into little patties with your hands. 4. Cover and place them in the fridge for approx 30 minutes to slightly firm up or you can eat them fresh! (I found they were still very soft even after the fridge but they still tasted yummy!) To make the sauce: Add all ingredients to a high speed blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Add a little water as you go until you reach a good consistency. To assemble: 1. Slice a head of iceberg lettuce directly in half from the core to the top. 2. Remove the small inner pieces and select the large cupped outer leaves about 3-4 layers thick per side so they act as bun bases and tops. (Save the remaining insides of the lettuce for salads so it doesn’t go to waste). 3. Place the patty and toppings inside the bottom lettuce leaves, drizzle some sauce and cover with the top lettuce leaves. 4. Cut the burger in half and enjoy!!!

My breakfast this morning: 2 frozen bananas, frozen mango, a big handful of baby spinach and coconut water.

I’m at Dr. Feelgood again here in Baton Rouge Louisiana enjoying a Purple Prescription smoothie. It’s delicious with strawberry, açaí, blueberry, pineapple, blue spirulina swirl, and coconut water! 🥥🫐🍓🍍⚡️✨

Hey friends! Happy Sunday☀️ I’m super curious, what are your easiest go-to raw vegan dinner recipes?🙏 I feel like I’m stuck in a zoodles-with-tomato-sauce and kimbap-with-cauliflower-rice rotation😂and I’m craaaving some new textures. I’d love some ideas for dinners that are easy/quick, satisfying, and filling without feeling too heavy, if that makes sense🥰

It’s all about adding more greens now that my fruit feast is over. Starting the day with a smoothie. It has coconut water, frozen bananas, mixed fruit, blueberries, spinach, and Medjool dates. Wishing you a Marvelous Monday! 🌱✨
