First stop, Thanksgiving (or as many of us veggie-friendly folk call it….Thanksliving). We’ve searched all over to bring you the best raw food Thanksgiving recipes. The key to surviving Thanksgiving is proper planning and preparation! You should decide now what will be on your menu. Even if your meal will not be completely raw (to accommodate your guests), you can always include a couple of raw side dishes (your guests don’t even know their raw, but they’ll certainly know how delicious they are)! Check out the recipes below and let us know what you think. Happy Thanksgiving!
