Sushi! From Girl Gone Raw

Yes! Sushi can be completely vegan, raw, and easy to make toboot.  Already close to fitting the bill in their traditional form, my veggie maki rolls replace rice with a delicious veggie blend.  Paired with a yummy dipping sauce, these are so pretty to look at, but they won’t last long, so be sure to snap a picture :-) .  Bring them to your next party, and I guarantee nobody will even notice these are free of cooked rice!

I am a living foods enthusiast and a painter from Portland, Maine! I was first introduced to raw food in the Spring of 2009 and I was so intrigued ... could this lifestyle really make me feel more energetic, lose weight & gain mental clarity? Could I really eat dessert every night & avocados every day & still lose weight? The answer is YES & I am living proof! In February of 2010 I completed Alissa Cohen's Raw Food Chef & Teacher Certification program and I am ready to share my passion with you! I simply love preparing raw food dishes and sharing my knowledge with others. You can visit my website at GirlGoneRaw.com or come visit me on Facebook & Twitter
