Super Kale Salad

 I have been reading up on the health benefits of a raw vegan diet, and the health benefits are phenomenal. Basically, when you eat raw vegan you only consume foods like fresh fruits, fresh juices, fresh vegetables, mushrooms, herbs, sprouts, nuts, and seeds...and consume foods that have not been cooked over 118 degrees.

The basis of this diet is the belief that cooking food over 118 degrees destroys nutrients and essential food enzymes that aid in digestion. ​Benefits include: improving digestion, clearing up your skin, lowering inflammation, preventing cancer, weight loss, maintaining a healthy body weight, and much more!

​This is day one of my 10 days of eating raw vegan. I will post my results in a future blog!

This fresh, wholesome, nutritious, and tasty salad takes nine ingredients to make!
