Raw Vegan diet question! PLEASE answer!?
I am almost 14 years old and a vegan (the only one in my family, that’s kinds hard) I was thinking of switching to a raw diet, maybe 50 – 90 percent raw food. Can someone give me tips and maybe websites on how to live raw and maybe some great raw recipe websites?

Pay no attention to kawaii_marshmallow. You needn’t worry about "bacteria and whatnot" if you simply wash your food, which you should be doing anyway. Going raw preserves many of the nutrients that cooking destroys.
Some books that I’ve found helpful are "The Raw Food Detox Diet" by Natalia Rose, which has some great transition advice, "Green for Life" by Victoria Boutenko which talks about the importance of leafy greens, and "Raw Food Made Easy" by Jennifer Cornbleet which has great, simple recipes that are perfect for a beginner.
I get most of my raw recipes from goneraw.com. Giveittomeraw.com is a nice raw networking site if you need some support.
If you don’t have a blender, I highly recommend getting one. A juicer, spiralizer, and food processor will come in handy too. You’ll see lots of recipes that call for a dehydrator but in my personal experience, they are fun to have but totally unnecessary. Definitely get a blender though!
Hai there~
I am also vegan, although I have never been one to go for raw foods due to all the types of bacteria and whatnot. Personally, I think eating anything cooked is safer. :D
But anyways, I dug up some sites that seem to be somewhat useful.

im raw vegan too, and its so amazing. just google raw vegan and you will get loads of info. you have to really learn to love your fruits and veggies and be creative with them as well as raw nuts and if you like, sprouted grains which you would make and are considered raw. invest in a juicer too :)
