Raw food: It’s the craze that’s sweeping the nation. Why? Because raw food is healthy, yummy, and, yes, even a little bit sexy. Eating certain foods raw helps preserve their vitamins and antioxidants, and preparing raw vegan recipes can also be fast and simple. So here are 14 recipes that will take no time at all to give your body that raw power it loves.

Starring avocado, an herb-cashew spread, and sesame seeds on a Wrawp, this recipe is heaven-sent, if you ask us.
