11. Spicy Mango, Ginger and Chili Soup

Spicy chilies pair well fresh mangoes, and with a bit of ginger for an extra kick, this is a cold soup recipe to keep! It's an unusual flavor combination, so if you're bored with your regular raw food recipes, try this spicy raw mango soup recipe.

12. Raw Flaxseed Crackers

Raw flax seed crackers are a popular snack for those on raw food diet. Even if you're just looking to include more flax seed in your diet or more raw foods, try this dehydrated flaxseed cracker recipe for a satisfying crunch. Flaxseed crackers are great with raw salsa, raw guacamole or raw hummus. In the photo, I've paired my raw crackers with a raw zucchini hummus recipe. Yum!

13. Raw Curried Cabbage Salad

Cabbage is mixed with curry and other spices for a flavorful and easy raw vegan salad inspired by traditional coleslaw. for a more filling meal, you could toss in some cashew nuts instead of sesame seeds.

14. Watermelon Gazpacho Soup

I love this spicy and cooling watermelon gazpacho soup on a hot afternoon. The flavors mingle together to create a unique taste, and the watermelon is hydrating and refreshing. Because Spanish gazpacho soup is usually a mostly raw food anyways, its quite simple to duplicate gazpacho for a raw foods diet, and this raw foods version with watermelon adds a lovely and unexpected twist.
