Where do you get protein from on a Raw Food Diet?

I want to start a Raw Food Diet to see if I can feel any benefits from it and to test my willpower. Does anyone know any good sources of protein on a raw food diet? Or any good recipe ideas?

Thank you very much!Where do you get protein from on a Raw Food Diet?
Raw foodists eat so many nuts (and things made out of nuts, like burgers, sauces, milk and cookies) that lack of protein is not a concern.



Good recipes for a beginner can be found in Jennifer Cornbleet's "Raw Food Made Easy."



In response to a previous answer- tofu and soy sauce are not raw foods.Where do you get protein from on a Raw Food Diet?
Hi Jasmine,



Congrat on deciding to give Raw Food Diet a try!



My best recommendation to you is tofu. I know that lots of people find tofu less than appetizing (though I hope you're not one of them), but that's largely due to the fact that they're not aware of the versatility and history of food creation with soy.



The one recipe I can give you that is simple to make involves using silken tofu:



* Purchase a box of silken tofu from your local supermarket. Carefully remove the tofu from the package, and dice the tofu in half-cubic-inch sizes. Place the tofu on a dish or shallow bowl. Be sure to drain the liquid (no rinsing required).



* Use regular or low-sodium soy sauce (preferably by Kikkoman) and drizzle on top of the dish of tofu to desired amount.



* Chop fresh green onions (scallion) and cilantro (if you like) and sprinkle on top of the tofu.



That's it!



There are literally hundreds of dishes the Asians can create with tofu, ranging from salty dishes, soups, appetizers and even snacks and deserts. They also come in various physical forms, either in original white tofu or fried, puffed, or pressed (not sure if I've named them all). Although not all of them can be eaten raw of course, but the variety and the great flavors they yield may be worth your while to explore!



Good luck with your new diet regime! I hope I helped a little bit.

Tofu is not raw, most of the time.
