I've been super inspired with making raw vegan super delicious and nutritious superfood super snacks (that can be turned into meals easily too!)!

Yesterday I wrote about how to make a raw vegan cheese!

Being raw has been a major part of my healing transformation, so I feel extra super enthusiastically excited about all the "new" raw cuisine and inspired to share the deliciousness!

Raw vegan superfood crackers!!!!

I was originally planning on making a raw vegan cheese cake, but when you have fresh food, you gotta use it or it will go bad and get wasted (or hopefully composted!)!

My family had gone on a short vacation to Turks and Caicos Islands, in the Caribbean!

I didn't join them due to being super focused on healing! As I didn't want to give myself the temptation of climbing coconut trees there for optimal raw food during the trip, haha!

Upon their return they felt they vacationed so hard, and wanted/needed to detox with some green and veggie juice!

So I changed my cheese cake plans to juice! (Though I'll probably make my next post about that! :)

The juicing station set up! :)

I wanted to make a lot of juice, so I grabbed and washed a bunch of fresh produce, prioritizing to use the greens!

In this picture I have (and juiced in this order);

• Apples
• Carrots
• Beets
• Ginger
• Green onion
• Kale
• Chard
• Orange
• Pomegranate

SO MUCH PULP!!!!

When I felt done juicing, there was SO MUCH PULP even though I love juice and always want more! The pulp felt like a good indicator that I made enough, filling up exactly one glass for my mom, dad, sister, and me! :)

Normally we just compost the pulp, but normally I don't do the juicing either! (Unless it was coconut! Haha.)

Since I juiced it, I didn't want to compost the pulp, especially since it was such a delicious variety of fruits and veggies! <3

So I pondered what to do with them, and crackers is by far the easiest solution, as well as potentially the most delicious solution!

I looked up a couple recipes online, all of them extremely simple and easy! However I had WAAAAAAAY more pulp than any of them used for their measurements, so I just wrote them and their ingredients down to fuel some ideas as I made my own recipe up! :)

Here is the recipe I wrote down, following with some extra ingredients you can add to dank it up!

• 2 1/2 cups of juicer pulp
• 1/2 cup ground organic flax seed RAW
• 1/2 cup organic RAW sunflower seeds
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 teaspoon dried dill weed

And the extras/variations;

• chia seeds
• tamari/coconut aminos
• dry parsely/oregano
• turmeric
• black pepper
• garlic (powder/fresh)

Proceeding with 4 simple steps, which I also changed in mine, but here are the ones from the recipe;

1. Mix all your ingredients in a bowl, and depending how awesome your juicer is, you may need to add water (or some form of liquidy ingredient!).
2. Spread it across a dehydrator sheet and tray!
3. Dehydrate it at 115º degrees for 2 hours, then break it apart into pieces and flip them over to dehydrate for 2 more hours. (Squares are usually the most efficient for as most dehydrators tend to be squared).
4. Keep checking until they are crispy to your preference!

Dehydrating times will vary depending how moist or dry the pulp is!

Keeping the infinite possibilities in mind, I began my creation, taking in these ideas and combining them with my own ideas and ingredients! :)

Here's what I used;

• RAW chia, sunflower, flax, and sesame seeds
• Coconut butter
• Garlic
• Oregano
• Basil
• Parsley
• Dill weed
• Truffle infused olive oil
• Ginger
• Turmeric
• Curry
• Mustard
• Paprika & smoked paprika
• Nutritional yeast
• Peperoncino
• Himalayan pink salt

I eyed all of the proportions out, so this will be a one of a kind creation, though I plan on making more NEW crackers today after this post! :)

Mix it REAL good! You can use your hands or utensils as preferred! :)

I didn't add any water as it had enough from the coconut butter and olive oil!

Spread them out onto the dehydrator tray sheets, and stick them in to begin!

I set the dehydrator at 105º degrees instead of 115º to keep it more RAW, hehe! :)

So it took 4-6 hours before it was dry enough to be ready to break and flip!

I decided to switch out the dehydrator sheets for these mesh ones as well, this way I wouldn't have to keep flipping the crackers over like it said to do in the other instructions!

However, be warned, this can (quite inevitably) be more messy! :P

As little seeds and pieces of pulp may fall through the netting!

Also, something I learned during this step thanks to hindsight, for next time!

You may want to break the desired cracker size pieces while the big slab is on the first dehydrator sheet instead of as I did over these mesh sheets to have a smaller mess!

Once broken down and flipped, place it back into the dehydrator!

Again I set it at 105º degrees, but unless you want to follow the the original instructions, or if you are in a rush or simply don't care if its raw or cooked, you can always turn it up higher!

Just don't forget to check on it more consistently the higher you set the temperature if you do.

Wa-la! Raw crackers! Easy and delicious! :)

These are awesome because you can repurpose all that "leftover" pulp, and on top of that, there are INFINITE extremely simple or complex variations to make these however you prefer and feel! <3

Later I will share a some EPIC SUPER DANK simple meals you can prepare using these crackers!

Yesterday I made an awesome "bread with avocado and cheese" (raw vegan of course) breakfast with these crackers, that was my first breakfast that wasn't a smoothie or fresh fruits since the surgery!

And today my mom prepared some unbelievably delicious RAW BLT sandwiches for lunch!!!!

Though I haven't made it yet, the first thing I wanted to use these crackers for was some RAW HUMMUS!!!! As I use to be addicted to hummus when I first discovered it, probably because it has tahini in it, and now we have raw tahini serendipitously! So as soon as I finished the crackers, I immediately learned how to sprout chickpeas and began the process!

Today they finally got significantly noticeable sprouts growing! Though I will wait until tomorrow or the day after for them to be more sprouted before making the raw hummus! <3

I'm considering even planting a couple to see how they grow in Florida weather! :)
