Raw Food Snacks – Healthy Taste Treats
Have you been eating the standard Western diet consisting of fast foods, processed foods and cooked foods? If so there’s a very good chance that you’ve become overweight, undernourished and lethargic. If that’s the case you might be trying to find a way to make some healthy changes in your lifestyle so that you can feel less tired, lose weight, feel better and get rid of several and hopefully all of the things that ail you.
A lot of people have been finding that once they started adding more raw foods (sometimes referred to as living foods) to their daily diets they experienced better health. If you think that it would be too much of a hassle to do this and that the food just won’t taste very good then you’re literally in for a treat. One of the easiest ways to add living food to your diet is to find and eat the best raw food snacks that you can find in between your meals.
When your energy level starts to sink and you yearn to be more active a raw food snack can give you a boost that will make the physical activities you participate in a lot more fun and make your life much more enjoyable.
When you feel more energetic you will be able to do more. You’ll be able to go swimming, go hiking, go bicycle riding, play golf, play tennis, and go out dancing. These are some of the things that make life worthwhile. But they’re pretty hard to do if your energy is low. I don’t know about you, but it’s pretty hard to motivate yourself to be active when your energy level is in the dumps.
What Are the Best Raw Food Snacks?
You’ll find that the best tasting raw food snacks, the ones that are best for you, are made from natural whole food ingredients such as fresh and dried fruits, seeds, nuts, coconuts and vegetables. You should not cook raw food because you want to preserve its “goodness.” So, you will soon learn how to make wonderful no bake cookies, snacks and deserts that taste so good that they will blow you and your friends and family away.
Raw food taste treats actually taste and look better than anything that’s cooked and they are much better for you. The very best raw food snacks are made without any sugar, harmful chemicals or unhealthy fat. They’re comprised totally of living, raw ingredients.
Here’s an example of what I mean. These lemon chews are easy to make and will make you forget any cooked cookie recipe that you may have liked.
These delectable taste treats are made with 2 cups of shredded coconut, 2 cups of cashews, ½ of a ripe banana, the juice from 2 lemons, the zest from 2 lemons, ½ cup of agave nectar or honey or any other kind of sweetener (except sugar), and 1 teaspoon of vanilla.
The chews couldn’t be easier to make. All you need to do is put all of the aforementioned ingredients into a food processor and blend them until the mixture is smooth. Then shape them by hand into small, round cookie-like shapes. Put these raw food snacks on a plate and put the plate into the refrigerator. Keep it there until the mixture sets.
Can you think of anything easier to make? And once you taste them you’ll want to stop buying any store bought junk that’s full of unhealthy fats, sugars and chemicals and stock up on the ingredients to make some more lemon chews.
In addition to losing weight and feeling better, when you eat raw food snacks such as these you’ll find that your hair gets shinier, you skin becomes clearer, and your aches and pains start to disappear.
Once you’ve found that you love these raw food snack treats, why not share them with your friends. And, if you have kids, I think that you’ll agree that there’s no better way to wean them from junk food than feeding them healthy and nutritious raw food snacks that they will love.
