Wow, the summer is flying by! It seems like it has been forever since we’ve had more than one day off in a row. This year has honestly been a whirl-wind.

Last week we were in Seattle for the week for a lab David had. I decided to go and just work from the hotel room for a change of scenery. We have not had much non-working/school time together this year so every chance we get counts. We returned this week and did have a couple hours to enjoy the White Rock Beach.
 
Happy Feet
 
We’ve been having a blast with the 21 Day Vegan Cleanse Challenge. Many of our suppers just look like the picture below.

I simply set up a ‘build your own’ Raw Food Lettuce Wrap Bar and enjoy. It’s great too that David can just pick up the left-overs and throw together a fast lunch for the next day. The No-Bean Hummus has been an awesome condiment!

Raw Vegan Falafel
 

Raw Vegan Falafel and Mango Chutney

Prep time: 15 Minutes
Yield: Makes 3-4 Servings

Falafel Ingredients:

  • 3/4 Cup Sprouted Chickpeas (Ground in the food processor)
  • 3/4 Cup Raw Sunflower Seeds (Finely ground in the food processor)
  • 3/4 Cup Raw Almonds (Finely ground in the food processor)
  • 1/4 Yellow Onion (Diced)
  • 1/4 Cup Olive Oil
  • 2 Tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 1/3 Cup Nama Shoyu
  • 3 Garlic Cloves
  • 2 Tbsp Curry Powder

Mango Chutney Ingredients:

  • 2 Cups Chopped Mango
  • 2 Tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 1 1/2 Tsp Raw Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp Stone Ground Mustard
  • 1/4 Tsp Salt
  • 2 Garlic Cloves (Peeled and crushed with the garlic press)
  • 1 1/2 Tsp Agave Nectar
  • 1 Bunch Chopped Fresh Cilantro
  • 1/4 Tsp Finely Chopped Red Bell Pepper
  • 1/4 Cup Finely Chopped Red Onion
  • 1/4 Tsp Cayenne Pepper

Falafel Directions:

  1. In a mixing bowl combine all falafel ingredients and mix thoroughly.
  2. Using a small ice cream scoop create falafel mounds.
  3. Note – I do not own a dehydrator so I enjoyed this recipe as-is. To create this recipe as the texture of falafels place mounds onto the dehydrator tray and dehydrate at 100 F for approximately 32 hours. Again, I enjoyed this recipe without using the dehydrator and just served these falafels in lettuce wraps with my Mango Chutney.

Mango Chutney Directions:

  1. In a mixing bowl combine all ingredients.
  2. Mix well and serve!

DAMY Members – 1 Serving is a great lunch option with lettuce wraps and a side salad.

Note – If you are a meat eater add 3 oz of protein to this meal.
