Flavorful Fat-free Parsley-Tomato Pasta!

Yumm. I've got a super simple, intensely flavored, awesome low fat raw vegan pasta recipe, and I'm gonna share it with you!

This salt free, fat free, raw recipe is soo good, you've gotta try it!

Introducing, cucumber noodlies with tomato-parsley sauce!

Ingredients:

• Noodlies: (I just love that word. Say it: "Noodlies." Hehehehehehe.)
• 3 Cucumbers
• You could probably use zucchini as well if you like it; I don't. I do think the cucumber noodles give a lovely freshness to the dish.
• Dressing:


• ⅓ c sun-dried tomatoes
• ½ c parsely
• ½ c water
• ⅛ onion (or, preferably, use chives or scallions for a fresher tasting, less mucous-forming option!)
• 1Tbsp lemon juice


• Optional, but yummy:
• avocado chunks
• dried apricot slices

Spiralize, julienne, or use a veggie peeler to make noodles out of cucumber.

Blend parsley & water until smooth. Add rest of ingredients and blend until smooth.

Pour sauce over cucumber s'gettis and enjoy!

Simplest Sandwitches!

So simple, so yummy, so nutritious!

Only two basic ingredients!

• Greens (romaine, red leaf, iceberg...whichever's your favorite)
• Tomato
• +optional condiments

Making them is so simple as well!

Get out all of your ingredients, slice tomatoes.
Put a slice or 2 of tomato on lettuce leaf. (Here I'm also putting on a mustard sauce.. I'll discuss this below.)

Fold lettuce over, bite, and enjoy!!

And now for a few optional condiments that I think taste rather delicious! (In case you don't think you could enjoy just lettuce and tomatoes... or are just looking for a way to spice it up.) I don't believe any of these are technically 80-10-10 though, in case that's important to anybody.

1. Mustard sauce - mix some mustard with a little agave, maple syrup, or date paste; spread a little on each piece of tomato.
2. Black pepper, oregano, garlic - this is not
3. Chili pepper, lime juice

And of course, you can experiment with your own concoctions as well!

Pre-fruitarian photos:

Beginning of freshman year; About a year and a half ago; I was vegan.

Last summer; 8 months ago maybe?; High-fat (gourmet) raw vegan.

So... sadly enough, I can't give you an awesome, encouraging before and after story, because I've always been in the healthy weight range, more or less.

However, I know that lots of people are always looking for photos of fruitarians, to see their weight, whether they look healthy.. and all that I guess. So, I thought I'd post some photos of me on a fruitarian diet... Just for reference.

These last ones were all taken within a week-ish of one another.
