People may wonder how diverse raw food can get. The answer is as plain as it is obvious: it can be incredibly diverse. First of all, consider how diverse cooked food is. Then consider the fact that cooked food is, in fact, made out of raw food. Finally, consider how inventive the human mind can be when it comes to preparing natural food in such manners that it is as flavorful as it is unrefined.

The reality is that a raw food diet will surpass all of your expectations as concerns taste and flavor. For one thing, flavor is enjoyed at its max. Secondly, it does not come accompanied by the "array" of chemicals that are associated with flavors in cooked food. Thirdly, there is a whole range of raw food recipes out there. And the best thing about it is that you can always come with your own raw food recipes, depending on how creative you can get.

What ingredients could be included in a raw food diet? Let's start with vegetables. They can be either fresh or dried. Then fruits: you can have them fresh, dried or frozen. Seeds and nuts are also a delight when consumed raw. Spices and various other herbs don't make an exception from this rule. You can include even sea vegetables in your raw food diet. Generally, you will find them dried.

Of course, many of those who read about raw food recipes wonder about their expensiveness. Truth be told, there are ingredients in raw food recipes that may be expensive. But consider the following two aspects. First of all, you can adjust your raw food recipes to suit your pockets (however, do try to diversify your raw food diet: in this manner you will benefit from its best aspects). Then, you should consider how much you are willing to spend for your health. When we are talking about a raw food diet, we are actually talking about you. It is all about you and your advantages.

Let's look at two delicious raw food recipes. A plus point is that they can be prepared very quickly and you don't even have to spend a lot of money for making it. We will call it your own cranberry delight.

Start with selecting two ounces of cranberries. See that they are fresh. Also, select two smaller oranges or a bigger one. For sweetening the "product" you will need at least three dates, depending on how sweet you want it to taste in the end.

Then, put the two ounces of cranberries in a blender. Peel the orange(s). Cut it (them) in smaller pieces and put it in the blender, on the cranberries. Blend them together. You should obtain a thick blend. At this point add the dates. Then blend again. Take a taste and see if they fit your "sweetness" expectations. If not, add another two or three dates and blend again. Of course, if you want it even sweeter, you can add dates until you feel satisfied with the end result.

Our second suggestion is a raw soup. The main ingredients are avocado and parsnip. You will need ¼ avocado, one grated parsnip, celery juice, and two teaspoons of flaxseed oil. After selecting the ingredients, all you need to do is blend the grated parsnip and celery juice in a blender. Then add the flaxseed oil and the avocado and blend again. If you want to enhance the taste, you could add half a teaspoon of sea salt.
