When you prep up your lettuce and other veggies for a salad make double or triple and store in the fridge with dressing stored separately. Washed and dried lettuce lasts a few days. Same w veggie wraps, prep all the separate ingredients then all you have to do during the week is wrap them together.

What about just eating veggies and fruit without preparation? Like a banana or two, or an avocado with a little salt and lemon?

And soups, you can make a big batch of soup to last a few days.

And also pates and spreads that you can spread on a lettuce leaf or use with your veggie roll ups.

I think many raw recipes could be simplified down to show how easy it is to make them regardless of where you live. For example my soups are simply: a base vegetable that is hearty and provides a lot of bulk like carrots or pumpkin + a flavor veggie like red pepper + a colorful flavorful green herb like basil + a nice spice like freshly ground cumin + some salt + some fat. That same base can be used as a spread too.

Smoothies are also really simple. Just combine flavors and colors that you like and you are bound to come up with something good.

I make seaweed wraps, I love to just grate vegies, cut tomatoes and avos and all sorts of sauces and put it all in and roll it. Leave for 5 minutes, or longer if you can stand it, then chomp. The seaweed really does it for me.

Green curries, put greens in a blender with spices, bit o salt, half or quarter of a lemon with rind (seriously, this makes it taste great!), garlic, sesame or olive oil, blend it up and place in a bowl then add chopped/grated vegies. Derlish.

Got a dehydrator? Rough chop vegies, place in baggie with some spices, almond meal, unrefined salt, garlic, bit o oil, herbs etc (pretty much anything you like for flavour), seal bag, shake, place vegies onto dehydrator tray and leave till you can't stand waiting any longer and eat it.

I'm simply used to big salads with rotating greens and herbs now (very lazy most of the time) , but spicing it up every now and then is great!

3 carrots, 1/2 avocado, 1/2 lemon (juiced), water, curry powder. Blend. Thin, it's a soup. Thick, it's a curry sauce (toss with zucchini or kelp noodles or jicama rice).

Buy zucchini shredded. Top with chopped tomato, basil, olive oil and sea salt.

Cut a bell pepper in half. Mash a slice of avocado on it. Squeeze a lemon over it and sprinkle on some sea salt.

And then you can get real simple: eat an ear of corn. eat a head of romaine.

Im a pretty lazy raw foodie too! But I enjoy finding and creating recipes that are relatively easy to make. Smoothies are my new favorite thing to make, they're just so easy. I have a website that focuses on no-fuss raw recipes: rawfoodpunk.com Hope that helps a bit!
