Hi there, I am considering changing the diet of my house hold but I ahve 2 children and a strict no nuts policy at his school ( as all schools do) I’m wondering if you have recipes that would be appropriate for his school lunches.
Hi Destiny
I will work on creating some more kid friendly (school friendly I suppose) recipes! I think the zucchini chips would be a fun snack: http://www.youngandraw.com/category/raw-snacks-and-breads/
You may also consider making veggie crackers as they only have seeds and veggie pulp http://www.youngandraw.com/2012/04/05/crispy-mexican-vegetable-crackers-raw-gluten-free/
When you’re making lunches, lots of fruit, chopped veggies, some hummus is always yummy (you can either make it cooked with chickpeas or you can make a raw version we have out of zucchini under dips).
Kale Chips are delicious as well! Fruit smoothies and raw food bars are delicious as well. We get a brand when we’re travelling called Organic Food Bar: http://www.organicfoodbar.com/
