A Balanced Diet
The raw food diet allows for lots of fruit and vegetables, and gets protein from nuts and seeds. Green leafy vegetables are high in iron and calcium, while a variety of produce provides vitamins and minerals as well as carbohydrates. Avocados, oils, nuts and seeds all provide necessary fats. Try following these meal plans, or mix them up to create your own meal plan and find balance in a raw food diet.
