100% Raw Veggie Burrito Recipe

raw burrito

Every once in awhile, when I’m trying to clean up after a holiday binge fest (ahem, Thanksgiving), I look no further than raw vegetables. I try to keep it simple, colorful and, of course, uncooked. By not cooking the veggies, I retain their nutritional integrity and am able to enjoy a texture-filled meal full of roughage. The following burrito recipe is packed with plenty of veggies, herbs and creamy avocado. No oils needed! Enjoy!

The glow is everywhere, including in the…

Avocadoes: prevent breast cancer with its oleic acid content, inhibit the growth of prostate cancer, defend against oral cancer, contain lutein for eye health, lower cholesterol levels due to its beta-sitosterol, contain 23% of the recommended daily value of folate (lowers incidence of heart disease), protect against strokes, helps to better absorb nutrients, are high in glutathione, which prevent aging, cancer and heart disease, and are packed with vitamin E.
