Neat Loaf - The 6th in a series of excellent raw food recipes

Neat Loaf

I am posting a series of RAW FOOD RECIPES created by my mother Nancy Glazier and her good friend Irene Hauver. 

Together, as raw food pioneers, they complied an amazing collection of unique recipes that they used in teaching a series of raw-food-living un-cooking classes. We have a selection of delicious raw food recipes big enough to fill an entire cookbook. I know, cool, right?

These recipes are amazingly tasty! This is doing raw food right. Most raw food recipes are seriously lacking in taste and texture - well, not this collection. These beautiful ladies don't do anything half way! We are excited for you to try them.


Neat Loaf is a delicious, vegan, Raw Food version of Meatloaf. No, I mean it, It's delicious. Remember the Kitchen Cheetah's rule: if it's yucky - it's banned!

This recipe has been time-tested. My mom says that it makes a terrific vegan taco meat - Just crumble it and season with Mexican seasoning, then dehydrate it in a food dehydrator, until it is a "meaty" texture.

Make a big batch of this 'Neatloaf" and store in your freezer for quick meals later. It is a great food for cleansing diets, vegan, vegetarian, etc... Check all your ingredients if you are on a gluten-free diet.
