There are also recipes for "neatballs", burgers, falafel, which are essentially various dehydrated nut and seed pates. That might help too.

You can also sprout beans and grains (there is debate about whether rice can be truly sprouted, some do use rice, others do not), so you can eat your carbs, heavier carbs, and still be raw.

Oh, I wanted to mention something about being in tune with your body - that's something that takes both time and information. Knowing what your body needs or is hungry for can be pretty easy with things you eat regularly, such as an orange. When you're hungry for an orange you eat one!

But other things can be more complex. Finding out what I really need when my body screams "beef" or "cheese" has taken more time, as did trying to understand why everyone I knew could easily be raw for an entire day, but I was crashed out, mental, deranged, and completely bonkers by 2 pm. Now I know why, and what to do, but I had to learn.

I'm still learning what to do if my body gets out of balance or I start to be physically be hungry for non-vegan or cooked things.

So, be patient with yourself! You'll figure it out.
