Raw Vegan Collard Wraps

Eating raw keeps me feeling clean and energized... And let me tell ya! I've been needing some energy lately! So I've tweaked my diet for a time frame I'm not sure of yet and have decided to go all raw. I came to this decision after my husband and I signed up for the Spartan Sprint Race coming up this February. Training is more intense therefore I feel my diet needs to be more intense as well. More on all the training later... For now, I just want to share my Raw Vegan Collard Wrap with you and the steps it took me to complete this simple yet wholesome-delicious meal! 

I'm the type of cook that pulls anything out of the fridge and makes a dish out of it to save from wasting produce! So since I'm stocked up on fresh fruits and vegetables and don't want any to go bad, I decided to chop up all that I could find and then wrap it in a collard green... Seems simple enough... And it was!! 

Here we go!!

First I chopped up some organic baby carrots: 

I know what you're thinking... "Cute pink chopper!" I KNOW!!!!! :)

Then I chopped up garlic, onion, red yellow and orange bell peppers:

Then I chopped up cucumber and zucchini:

Then for a more solid texture and to give this mix a "meatier" feel, I chopped up some walnuts:

After that I did a mix of mushrooms and tamari sauce and chopped that up:

All of these chopped ingredients was mixed together by hand in a bowl and set aside.

Then I prepped the collards by thinning out the spine to make the leaf more bendable. 

Once that was done, it was all about the assembly of the wrap!! First it was the chopped mix, then some avocado an tomatoes!! I like a little hot sauce too! 

Just like a burrito, fold the two longer sides into the center, take the third side up to the center as well and then roll it all into the fourth and final side of the collard... And VOILA! 

Drum roll pleas..... 

OOOHHHHHHHH YEAH!!!! Finger lick'n GOOD!!!!!!! 

... And yes! You will be lick'n your fingers, these tend to drip greatness all over!! 

Other random ingredients:

Garlic salt or sea salt

Ground pepper

Cayenne

Have fun with it!!!
