1. Un-Tuna Pate

To prepare an appetizing un-tuna pate with romaine leaves, you need sunflower seeds, lemon juice, fresh herbs, garlic, some dulse and soy sauce. Put all these together in the food processor. Subsequently, pulse the ingredients until the mixture resembles a pate and spread romaine leaves over the concoction. Garnish it with sprouts and tomatoes, and you are good to go with your lunch or dinner.

2. Cheesy Pepper Dip

Sweet pepper dip adds that tangy, spicy twist to all those cucumber chips, dehydrated flax crackers, crudités, and even apples. You need to put a couple of red-bell peppers. Along with a handful of cashews, some dates, nutritional yeast, some paprika and some coconut aminos or soy sauce. Blend the ingredients in your stainless steel processor, adding some water at a time, to get a thick and creamy consistency.

3. Stick-to-Your-Ribs Chili

Chili is a great way to fire up your palate and curb that hunger pang, after a long, stressful day at work. Raw vegan chili can be easily made in your food processor or kitchen stand mixer. All you need to do is add fresh, sun-dried tomatoes into a food processor, along with bell pepper, onion and celery, some cumin seeds, and chili powder. Blend them all up, leaving a few chunks of the veggies in the mixture. Transfer the blend to a large mixing bowl and add fresh corn, some chopped tomatoes, half a teaspoon of liquid smoke, fresh herbs, and salt to taste to the mixture. Stir this chili up and enjoy a tangy, fulfilling meal!

4. Simple Spinach Pesto

The pesto includes everything that we love to eat; homemade pesto and zucchini noodles, all stirred into the creamy butternut squash soup and slathered into raw vegan wraps. For the pesto, you only need spinach, a handful of pine-nuts, some yeast, salt, pepper, and a dab of olive oil. Put everything in your food processor, and set the blending speed to high, taking care to scrape the sides of the processor for the mixture sticking there.

5. Nut and Dried Fruit Energy Balls

This delicious snack packs a nutritional punch so effective that you would not have to look for anything else. All you need is some dried fruits such as dates, cranberries, blueberries, mulberries, cherries and currants, along with your favorite nuts including almonds, pistachios, and walnuts. Put everything in the food processor, and add a little salt to it, blend until you achieve a sticky doughy texture. Take small handfuls of the mixture, and roll it into small balls. There you have it, a nutty snack that hits your hunger out of the park.
