Raw Days 2 & 3

So, i'm still very interested in reading about Raw foods and making this transition.

I've made some really amazing things to eat, and i'm finding a nice balance between raw foods and cooked foods and even combining the 2!

I've made raw Mashed Potatoes - which are cauliflower and sunflower seed based, and i've been consuming a TON of fresh whole fruits and vegetables. I do have a lot of energy and i'm looking forward to learning more about it and trying new things.

Today i had a case of the Fridays, and i didn't try to concoct anything this morning. The only thing i prepared was raw apple sauce (which is my favorite new thing). So in addition to the apple sauce, packed a banana, carrots, cucumbers, a TON of cantaloupe, and green and red grapes.

I had lemon water this morning, but i was feeling a little creative! I boiled water, and poured it into my tea tumbler I squeezed 1/2 of a lemon's juice into my cup and i put about 1/4 of what was left of the lemon into my tea ball with 5 or 6 mint leaves. I let it brew and it was delightful! It definitely speeds up mt metabolism!

If i make a created dessert tonight, I'll be sure to post an update.

Raw Food Day 1

So,

I haven't had much to say that has been note worthy, but here i am. I'm revisiting this medium of thought documentation for a very good reason.

This is my second attempt at becoming a raw foodist. It just seems to be the smartest and healthiest was to eat. I'm already extremely healthy, but i know i can feel even BETTER.

Last night i went to the grocery store and stocked up on my favorite produce for a few recipes. as well as fruits and vegetables that i love to snack on.

Today's Menu:

• Wake up Drink -Lemon Water: Juice one 1/2 Lemon, 1 Cup of Water & A few mint Leaves.
  

This is supposed to be good for digestion and elimination. I'm extremely regular, so i don't know if it worked or if it was just the natural flow of my system??? But...something worked.

• Breakfast - 1 Ripe Banana & 32 oz of Spring Water
  
• Mid Morning - Raw Apple Sauce - 1 Gala, Apple 3 oz of Water, Cinnamon & Nutmeg to taste - Blended
  

The apple sauce was amazing! It tasted better than any apple sauce i've ever had in my whole life!! I'm pretty sure I'll be making this everyday!!

• Mid Afternoon - Celery Sticks & Veggie Dressing - 1 Plum Tomato, 1/2 Cucumber, 1/3 Red Bell Pepper 1 Small Onion - Blended.
  

This dressing could use a little dressing up, but it did yield a very large amount. I have a lot of it left, I think i'll Dress it up for Dinner tonight.

• Lunch - Raw Indian Carrot Soup - 1 cup chopped carrots (the recipe actually calls for 2 cups of carrot juice, but i think the texture would not be as good) 1 ripe avocado , 1 tbsp Curry Powder, 1 clove of Garlic, cilantro garnish - I omitted the Garnish. Blended.

This was fantastic, i think i need to post pictures of all of these things when i get home. The soup was delightful and refreshing!!
