Carrot-Broccoli with Vanilla Sauce with Banana and Orange

The recipe for carrot and broccoli with vanilla sauce, banana and orange has a sweet note with a delicate almond aroma thanks to its combination of ingredients.

Carrots and carotenes: The carrot is a popular low-calorie raw food and is known primarily for its high carotene content. Carotenes are fat-soluble, secondary plant substances. The best-known representative is so-called beta-carotene, which gives the carotene group its name and is also an important precursor in the body's own production of retinol (vitamin A). For this reason, it is also called pro-vitamin A.
In plants, carotenoids serve in photosynthesis and protection against UV radiation, while their formation in plant roots protects against infections.
While the cancer-protective effects of beta-carotene in humans are the starting point of many debates, there is agreement regarding their cell-protective effect as antioxidants. Furthermore, synthetically produced beta-carotene is finding its way into our everyday lives as a food coloring (e.g. margarine) or food additive in vitamin preparations. Since carotenes are fat-soluble, the human organism needs a small amount of fat to utilize them.

Yeast / almond butter and raw food: Strictly speaking, yeast flakes are no longer raw food, as the yeast is inactivated using heat during the usual manufacturing processes. As a strict raw foodist, you can switch to other ingredients if in doubt.
Almond butter is usually steam-treated, but there are also suppliers of raw almond butter. Some of these products can also be found in health food stores.

Alternative kitchen appliances: If you don't have a food processor at home, you can grate the carrots and broccoli stalks with a grater. This way it will take a little longer.

Suitable side dish: If you are a little more hungry, this dish can be served with half an avocado and mustard or honey.

Apple: Instead of an orange, you can also use an apple.
