    Oh, I would like some inspiration as well!

    Pita bread with veggies (cucumber, cabbage, tomatoes, grated carrot etc.) and hummus is simple and makes a good meal.

    I also love avocado soup, you can make it both raw and cooked fairly simple. Raw version: Mix up some avocado, cucumber and spinache with water, lemon juice and spices. Done!

    My favorite recipes come from ANI's raw cookbooks... she has several, but I find they are all quite simple and very flavorful with her asian twists..... You can get them at Chapters/Coles.... Sorry to not post a recipe, but thought I would share my favorite cookbooks :)

    do you mean raw AND vegan or raw OR vegan? if cooked stuff is ok, i have a bean soup that i make that is ridiculously easy and fast. at the most basic level it's a can of refried beans, a can of black beans, a cup of salsa, and a cup or two of vegetable stock. i usually add a lot more to this, but if i'm in a hurry the basics do the job pretty well - especially if you use a very flavorful salsa. for add-ins i use any of the following:

    sauteed onions and garlic
    jalapeno
    extra seasoning - cumin, chili powder, oregano, etc
    fresh herbs - particularly cilantro or green onion
    lime juice
    crumbled up tortilla chips (they sort of dissolve and make the soup extra thick)

    I love to make tabbouleh! You can make a raw version by just processing parsley, tomato, raw almonds, onion, and lemon juice -- then toss in some sprouted beans and salt to taste and it's delicious and super healthy.
    I also love to make chia pudding... ground chia seeds, coconut/almond milk, and sugar/stevia mixed together and left in the fridge overnight makes a great breakfast.

    Check out the youtube show "Raw. Vegan. Not Gross." She has great recipes with fairly minimal ingredient lists and are really tasty.

    It was delicious. The longer you let it sit in the fridge, the more the flavors get into the zucchini noodles.
    I definitely recommend it :)

    Baked sweet potatoes or just regular potatoes. Just cut them up, sprinkle some thyme or oregano, throw them in the oven, and you're good to go!
