Being on a raw vegan diet does not mean that you have to completely give up all of your favorite foods. You can still enjoy tacos, burgers, wraps, and more, so long as you make raw vegan versions. For example, use romaine leaves in place of tortillas and use walnuts and other spices to create the taco “meat.” Do you love crispy sweet potato fries with a luxurious dipping sauce? Well, now you have this recipe, which is completely raw vegan and acceptable to eat while cleansing.
Sometimes, sweet potato fries do not taste great, or they taste good but then your body doesn’t agree with them. Perhaps you feel bloated after you eat a big serving of them, especially if they come with an aioli, which is a mayonnaise-based sauce. All the deep frying and saturated fat from the mayo also cancel out any health benefits that the sweet potatoes were going to provide. These dehydrated sweet potato fries, though, retain their nutrients, even though they aren’t as crispy as traditional fries. Additionally, there is no mayonnaise in the dipping sauce!
Sweet potatoes are naturally rich in vitamin C and vitamin A. Just one cup of baked sweet potato provides 213% of the recommended daily intake (RDI) of vitamin A! Sweet potatoes may also support gut health, as they contain antioxidants and soluble fiber. Eating fiber-rich foods can help soften your stool and make it easier to eliminate. The antioxidants in sweet potatoes have demonstrated an ability to promote the growth of healthy gut bacteria, which may reduce the risk of conditions like infectious diarrhea and irritable bowel syndrome.
