Raw Foods

This morning staff member Susan joined WPMT Fox 43 to discuss Raw Foods.  Watch the segment.

Here are the recipes showcased on the segment.

Asian Carrot Noodles garnished with Carrot Sticks


Green Giant Juice (Made to order by The Healthy Deli)
Contains:
  • Celery
  • Broccoli
  • Cucumber
  • Kale
  • Parsley

Asian Carrot Noodles
5-6 cups peeled Carrot "noodles"
1/2 cup fresh Mushrooms
1 cup fresh baby Spinach

Sauce:
1 Lime freshly squeezed and strained
2 cloves minced Garlic
1/2 cup Raw Almond Butter
1 tsp Curry Powder
1/2 tsp minced Ginger
1/4-1/2 teaspoon Cayenne Powder (set your level of spice)
1/3 cup fresh cilantro
1/4 cup Coconut Water
1/4 cup freshly made Coconut Milk (strained) or Raw Coconut Cream

1) Using a peeler, peel off first layer of dirt/skin from carrots.  Continue to peel remainder of carrot into a bowl.
2) Chop mushrooms and set aside.
3) In a separate bowl mix sauce ingredients in a blender until well mixed.  If sauce is too think, you may thin it with additional Coconut Water or Coconut Milk.
4) Mix sauce and carrots together, cover and let sit in the refrigerator for approximately 30 minutes or more to let the carrots soak up the sauce and tenderize.
5) Mix carrots and sauce with mushrooms and add baby spinach.  Serve.

*Sauce will yield extra to use on other wonderful foods you will make throughout the week.
