I love Spring! It is a beautiful, calm and sunshining day here in New Mexico...amazing! This is my favorite time of year, that is when it is not blowing gale force wind. Today has me feeling fresh, inspired and happy! Lunch time is upon us and I just whipped up the most beautiful, nourshing and tasty lunch. I feel inspired to share my RAW Veggie Wrap recipe. Today, I had not planned ahead and did not have soaked almonds* ready. I compiled all the vegetables, sliced an avocado and sprinkled with a little sea salt/ sea veg.Try it out. I would love to hear what you think!! *Soaked nuts are activated nuts! Soaking nuts is essential for deactivating the nutrients to make nuts minerals more digestible. By activating the life force energy within and prepares it to germinate. Soaked and sprouted nuts contain more vitamins and minerals than un-soaked nuts. A friend of mine, who normally can not eat raw nuts without getting mouth sores, has no issues eating activated nuts.
