160: Exploring Raw Foods Without Rules with Lissa of Raw Food Romance

What happens when you stop thinking about raw food as all-or-nothing and start seeing it as another delicious way to eat more plants?

In this episode, I sat down with Lissa from Raw Food Romance to talk about her 11-year journey with raw foods, the myths that keep people from trying them, and how adding more fresh fruits and vegetables can be more fun than you think.

Whether you're raw-curious or looking for fresh ways to enjoy plants, Lissa shares practical tips, creative techniques, and a refreshing perspective that aligns with the Clean Food Dirty Girl philosophy: do what works for you, make it mouthgasmic, and focus on progress over perfection.

In this episode, we talk about:

Lissa’s journey from high-fat diets to a raw food lifestyle.
What a day of raw eating looks like for Lissa and how much calories she eats.
How to safely make sprouted legumes, raw tempeh, and fermented vegetables at home.
Creative uses for a dehydrator, including wraps, burgers, crackers, and snacks.
Grocery shopping tips and sourcing ingredients in different environments.
The difference between fermentation and pickling.
