I’m assuming you have spices at home. If you don’t, then you’ll need Cinnamon for sweet and Pink Salt & Cayenne Pepper for savory. Also below, along with ideas I’m linking a variety of recipes to give you some inspo to get started.

THE SPLURGE (If you can splurge get any or all of)
Avocados
Herbs of your choice (like cilantro, basil, parsley or mint)
Tomatoes
Dried apricot or dried mango
“Flackers” or another brand of raw crackers

You may be asking, ‘So what do I do with all of this?’ Well you should be able to make many combinations of things but here are a few suggestions:

CHIA PUDDING or OVERNIGHT OATS
Using Nut Mylk or Water, soak your  Chia or oats overnight. Top with any of the following: Apples, Bananas, Pears, Coconut Flakes, Walnuts, Raisins & Cinnamon. Click here for a recipe.

VEGAN BOARDS
Chop a selection of produce, dried fruit and nuts and arrange a pretty display on a plate

FRUIT & VEGGIE STICKS
Carrot, Celery, Cucumber, Apple & Pear can be chopped up the day ahead and packaged up for you to take on the go.

TRAIL MIX
Mix together the coconut, raisins, chia seeds, walnuts & any other raw dried fruit and nuts you have around. Package serving size of 1/3 cup

Stay hydrated by drinking water with lemon and cucumber slices. Use the “splurge” items to bulk salads, porridges, nutmeals, smoothies, etc. Use the wRAWps to roll up salads or almond butter, apples, pears and/or banana to go. Sometimes you just want a “bread” element and the raw crackers satisfy that ‘need’.
