Here is my version or a Raw pad Thai. The zucchini replaces the noodles and the coconut lime dressing giving it a lovely zest and Thai taste. Bell peppers are high in Vitamin C; they contain fibre, protein and iron.

Raw Granola
This nutty and fruity cereal is packed with nutritional goodness. You can make this recipe up and store it in the refrigerator and enjoy in small snacks throughout the day or eat for breakfast, with added fresh fruit. Serves 8 1 apple, peeled, cored and chopped 2 tablespoons chia 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1⁄4 teaspoon pink Himalayan or Celtic sea salt Juice of 2 mandarins 1 tablespoon mandarin zest 1 tablespoon lemon zest 1 cup (4 oz/115 g) almonds, soaked in water for 3–8 hours 1 cup (4 oz/115 g) walnuts, soaked in water for 3–8 hours 1⁄2 cup (21⁄2 oz/70 g) pumpkin seeds 1⁄2 cup (21⁄2 oz/75 g) sunflower seeds 1 cup (4 oz/115 g) cranberries Sliced bananas, to serve Flaxseed oil, to drizzle Put the apple, 1 tablespoon of chia seeds, the cinnamon, salt, mandarin juice and zests in the bowl of a food processor and blend until chunky. Be careful not to over-blend the mixture. Tip into a bowl. Process the nuts until chunky, then add to the bowl with the chia mixture. Add the seeds, cranberries and remaining chia seeds and mix together until well combined. Store, covered, in the refrigerator to allow the flavours to blend overnight. Divide between breakfast bowls and serve with sliced banana and drizzle flaxseed oil over the top. The lactic acid process that naturally preserves sauerkraut is ripe with probiotic power. The good bacteria
that are common to preserved food include Lactobacillus acidophilus, L. bulgaricus, L. plantarum, L. caret, L. pentoaceticus, L. brevis and L. thermophiles. There is a wide range of healthy bacteria responsible for these tasty ferments, so you won’t find the same good bacteria count in every batch, but what you will find is a product brimming with healthy probiotics that will help ensure good gut health. 1 red cabbage 2 carrots 2 tablespoons Himalayan pink salt 1 teaspoon celery seeds 1 teaspoon dill seeds, divided 1 teaspoon black peppercorns, divided 1 bay leaf Shred, slice or grate the cabbage and carrots and place in a large bowl. Add the salt and toss to combine, then set aside for 30 minutes. Knead the vegetables by pressing them down with your hands. Tip them into a mason jar, add the spices or any other spices you like and press down on the vegetables. Water will leach from the vegetables, then over time it will subside. If there is no water you can make a brine, to help cover the vegetables. To make the brine, bring ½ cup water and a ½ teaspoon Himalayan salt to the boil and stir until the salt dissolves, then leave to cool. Pour over the vegetables, leaving 1 in (2.5 cm) of head space in each jar. Add a weight to help press the vegetables down Seal the jars. You will see them bubbling over the next few days. Once a day loosen the lid to let the fermentation gases escape. Push any vegetables that have worked their way up the side of the jar or around the weight back down into the liquid. As the lactic acid bacteria proliferates, the cabbage will turn into sauerkraut. Theoretically the cabbage is ALIVE with probiotics, and by day 4 it can be eaten. However, for best flavour leave it for 1–3 weeks. Warmer climates speed up fermentation, while cooler temperatures slow the process. Refrigerating slows down the process so once ready store in the refrigerator Raw Vegan Chocolate.
