How to eat vegan without cooking? ›

I highly recommend having a mixture of grains, protein, and vegetables — it provides a great balance not only with flavor/bulk but also texture. Grains and legumes help keep the meal filling while the vegetables bring everything together.

A raw vegan diet may not be sustainable in the long term. The lack of bread, cooked grains, and cooked legumes can make it challenging to get enough calories every day without frequent meals, which may make it too restrictive to be a 24/7 thing.

If you are vegan, it's important to eat plenty of plant proteins from beans, lentils, chickpeas, tofu, and soya versions of 'milk' and yogurt to help boost your intake of those nutrients.

Look for wholesale stores or online retailers that offer discounts for buying larger quantities. Stock up on items such as nuts, seeds, and dried fruits, which are commonly used in raw vegan recipes and have a longer shelf life. Grow Your Own: If you have the space and time, consider starting your own small garden.
