Lenten menu: a couple of tips from the chef
Which products cannot be combined
?
If you analyze my daily diet, then in the first half of the day I mainly eat fruits or green juices, shakes, smoothies. But I don combine fruits with nuts, because such a combination will provoke fermentation processes. But at the same time, nuts are a good addition to vegetable dishes.
Raw Chef advises to buy products in the markets: there they are of better quality compared to what we can find in supermarkets. There are also products in which fruits, vegetables and greens are soaked. But this way of cleaning products from various chemicals is more common in European countries.
Vladimir, how do you feel about veganism and raw food?
My diet – this is about 70% – raw food dishes, 30% – cooked food. Meat, fish, eggs and dairy products I have not consumed for a long time. The changes are obvious: I feel cheerful, immunity has increased, I feel great and I just have a lot of energy.Therefore, I recommend eating more or less healthy food. And if you don’t completely give up meat, then introduce more salads, vegetables and fruits into your daily diet.
We hope that you will like these recipes and that your menu of lenten dishes will expand by these 5 positions. If you – vegetarian, these ideas will surely inspire you to new culinary experiments.
