From vibrant salads to mouth-watering desserts, if you're in the mood for revamping your menu, we've got you covered.

This spring, consider these new flavorful raw recipes:

Homemade Coconut Yogurt
Making your own food at home is one of the best ways to ensure you know exactly what ingredients it contains. As Raw Food Recipes explained, even raw, vegan yogurt options from the store are often filled with sugar and additives. With this recipe, you can make your own creamy and delicious raw yogurt with just two ingredients! It makes for great breakfast that will fuel you for a long day. Consider topping your yogurt with raw granola, seeds or nuts.

Ingredients:

  • 1 young Thai coconut
  • High-quality probiotic powder or capsule

Directions
Open the coconut, and scoop out all of the flesh. Using a sieve, rinse the flesh well, and ensure that there is no husk attached or remaining. Add it to a blender with the probiotic powder. Blend until desired consistency is reached. Pour it into a jar or bowl, and cover with a breathable fabric. Place in a relatively warm place, and let it sit for 12 hours to culture. It should have a slightly sour tang to it when you taste test it. Move to the fridge to chill for at least 30 minutes, and then enjoy!
