Leftover Food Ideas

By using your leftovers wisely, you have the basis for your next raw meal. You can save a lot of money by making sure you don't throw anything out.


Veg and Salad leftovers
Keep a bag or tup in the freezer at all times. Whenever you have left over salad or vegetable items or scraps scrape them into your tub. When you have got enough (or have no fresh food in stock), defrost and blend with a little water or vegetable juice until you have the required consistancy. Add herbs, spices and other flavourings.

Pasta Sauce
As above but add less water. Stir into some raw pasta and top with pine nuts and sprouts.

Apples
Leftover apples? Peel, blend and add sweetner (argave, honey etc) and a bit of lemon oil. This sauce can be stored in the fridge for a few days. Try it warmed gently and served over chopped pears and topped with a few seeds.

Bananas
As soon as bananas start to get speckled, if you know you aren't going to have a chance to eat them, take action. Peel, slice and freeze in freezer bags until required. You can then add to smoothies or blend to make ice cream.

Nut Milk leftovers
The processed nuts you have remaining from making you nut milks can be mixed with come herbs, grated carrot or other veg. Shape into small burger shapes and and dehydrate or sun dry untill you have burgers.
