Vegan Plantain Breakfast - Raw Meets Cooked

Above is the breakfast I had one morning when I was really hungry!

The above meal is made up of a salad of tomatoes, cucumber, grated carrots and rough chunks of mango and then topped with fried ripe plantains. 

I ate most of the salad before I took the picture😒

All in all a nutrious meal which would have been better if I had baked the plantains.

Below is a quick reminder of the nutritional benefits of each food item.

Vegan Receipe - 'Feeling Hot Hot Hot!' - Spicy Raw Ripe Plantains

Did you know that ripe plantains can be eaten Raw? 

Ripe plantains are yellow with black marks...the darker the plantain the riper and softer and sweeter they are.

Well if you didn't know then welcome to the club! I only found out shortly after I went raw in July 2017. I was inspired to try them raw by Jack Albrittons video on eating raw plantains and also the video by Sweet Tropical Living.

I absolutely love cooked plantains, prefably fried instead of boiled so I thought I'd try them raw.

Spicy food is a must for me so I thought I would pair raw chopped plantain with chopped habernero peppers and some sea vegetable seasoning I had left.

Raw plantains are delicious! They taste like savoury bananas and the peppers complimented them really well.

If you like simple combinations and of course I'd you like plantains and spicy food then give it a try and let me know your thoughts!
