Is it ok to freeze food on a raw food diet?

I know that freezing, as with any process, alters molecular structure.



Obviously you couldn't heat it in the microwave but a raw food soup could be defrosted in the fridge, although it might take a couple of days to defrost.



Does anyone do this?

It's ok to freeze raw food. For example, frozen bananas are excellent to use for smoothies and home-made ice-creams, without any dairy. I cut them into small chunks, freeze them and put them in the blender or food processor. Smoothies and ice-creams turn out very smoothly that way.



If you make raw soups and make a few portions at a time, you could freeze the soup for a few weeks. Take it out the night before the next day you'd like to eat it. Either in the fridge for a refreshing summer meal or let it defrost at room temperature.



Here is a great raw soup recipe: 1 avocado, 3-4 carrots, fresh cilantro, fresh or ground ginger, 2 cups of water.



Blend everything together and split into portions. Store in containers and put in the freezer.



Or try this raw dessert: Mix 1 Avocado, lemon or lime juice and for the crust, use 1-2 cups ground almonds and same amount of grated coconut. Place in food processor, spread on round tray and put avocado cream on top. Pre-cut into slices and store in freezer. Put slices out to defrost in advance, but ideally in the fridge and enjoy!

Raw food is fine to defrost in the fridge - just don't leave it for days and days. You know it is off when little bubbles start popping up :)
