Raw Hummus and Raw Sweet Potato Chips

In terms of reducing pain and other fibromyalgia symptoms, according to the latest review,  “Vegetarian diets and raw diets could have some beneficial effects."  Both vegetarian and raw vegan diets led to significant improvements in fibromyalgia symptoms in several studies.

I have long noted that anything eaten raw substantially reduces painful flareups.  Furthermore, I am dosed with a bit of renewal energy after consuming such treats.  I call them treats because there is a whole new taste experience out there for those that want to maneuver this wholesome highway.  

For two years I've consumed the following each day:

Fibromyalgia Juice Recipe

Vinegar Cocktail

Fistful of Almonds and Banana

Fistful of Almonds and Seasonal Fruit

Fibromyalgia Salad

Fibromyalgia Smoothie

In doing so, I've reduced my "cooked" intake to just under 35% of my daily diet.  One of the most noted after effects is when any of the above are consumed, I feel much more alert, less pain, and wrapped in an overall sense of well-being.  For some reason lately, my body feels propelled to incorporate more raw foods into my diet.  Presently, I am looking for snacks that may be utilized as meal substitutes when the desire unfolds.  Here are two great recipes that stock well in the refrigerator.  Be prepared for a whole new food taste adventure as these foods are packed with micro nutrients your body so desperately needs.

Sweet Potato Chips

1 large, one pound sweet potato
2-3 tab. cold pressed olive oil
1 - 1 1/2 tsp. sea salt

Slice scrubbed fresh sweet potato with mandolin.  Place in bowl and cover with oil and salt. Toss gently. Place on single rack in a food dehydrator for 10 - 12 hours until desired crispness is attained.  Store in air tight container for 7 days.  Your taste buds will be totally consumed on this one!  Amazing!

Raw Hummus

1 cup dried chickpeas
1/2 red bell pepper
1/4 cup fresh squeeze lemon
2 cloves of garlic
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. sea salt
1/4 cup tahini
3/4 cup cold pressed olive oil

Soak chickpeas for 10 - 12 hours replacing water every 3 hours.  Or place in refrigerator overnight for 12 hours.  In a food processor, blend pepper, lemon, garlic, cumin, and salt on high until smooth/chunky. Add chickpeas and process till almost smooth.  Add tahini and process more to break up chickpea clumps.   Process until desired consistency is attained.  Put olive oil in thin stream while processor is whirling and blend until delightfully smooth.  Store in refrigerator three days.  Serve with sweet potato chips.

You have such an upbeat and proactive approach to treating your fibromyalgia! And these recipes sound amazing, too. I have tried to make sweet potato chips in the oven and they didn't turn out quite crispy enough-- perhaps I should invest in a food dehydrator myself. I am fortunate enough not to suffer from fibromyalgia, but have a close friend who does. She takes a similar approach and eats very well, like you do. I'll have to send her this link! I was also very excited to see that someone else drinks Bragg's vinegar-waters. (The hubby thinks I'm crazy...) I usually drink them cold and without honey, but am curious to try your way now too. Thanks so much for these awesome recipes!
