Vegan Raw Pad Thai

By: Lisa Guy

This tasty raw vegan dish is packed with nutrients and living enzymes. Eating raw vegetables and sprouts that are rich in living enzymes can assist with digestion and help promote better health. Digestive enzymes assist in breaking down foods so their nutrients can be absorbed effectively through the gut and utilised by the body. Bean sprouts are a particularly great addition to vegan diets as they are a good source of protein and the sprouting process makes them easier to digest.
