Kelp Noodles with Cheezy Sauce | Ooh, Baby I Like It Raw #1

You know I love doing blog series! I just started the "Ooh, baby I like it raw" series to share more raw vegan (uncooked) recipes. Enjoy!

How is your day? I've been enjoying Kristina's Fully Raw challenge! It's only day# 2 but it a lot easier than I thought it would be.

For lunch yesterday I made raw kelp noodles with a simple and delicious cheezy sauce. 

No cooking required? I could get used to more raw recipes!

Kelp is a sea vegetable (seeweed) that is low in calories, gluten-free and is a decent alternative to wheat and/or rice noodles. It's clear, thin and doesn't taste like anything solo. You can find it at an Asian market or order it online

Only one of my 3 kids liked it. Since it was their first time, I'll try it again in another recipe. The texture is fine, so maybe they didn't like it because they knew it wasn't regular spaghetti. lol You know how kids can be. lol

I don't know if the olive oil I used in this recipe is considered "raw" but everything else is.

I thought it was yummy though. Here's the simple sauce recipe...

Instead of saying I'm not eating junk, I'll add an extra vegetable to my plate.

Instead of saying no more soda, I'll buy kombucha (I stan for this!) and a new filter for my water pitcher.

Instead of saying no more sugar, I will put more fruit in my grocery cart. 

It's all about mindset, baby!

Establish little habits, do you best and you will move forward.
