Post up everything that you ate yesterday. Would be fun and interesting for those of us who are new or fairly new.

Thanks you guys!

Right now, a typical day for me, foodwise, looks something like this:

4-5 Medium Oranges for breakfast
2 Apples (1 hr later)
12-16 oz. Fresh Juice (Carrots, spinach or chard, italian parsley,celery, lemon, green onion)
Huge Salad (usually just greens and avocado)
Another Juice
Handful Nuts and/or seeds
*somedays I add a smoothie to the above.

Probably not enough calories. ? Tryin to figure out what to add to my intake.

3 Bananas
2 Apples
2 Green smoothies/ 1 morning/1 mid-day
4 glasses Carrot/Celery/Apple/Orange juice
Handful of Walnuts


I think that's about it - I usually eat more, but I've been doing more juicing lately.

lol I found some organic blueberries on sale this week so yesterday looked like this:

1 honey due melon.
1 blueberry, banana salad
1 blueberry, 1/2 papaya salad
3 oranges w blueberries

1 green salad (1/2 lb+ "spring mix" with blueberries and some chopped dates)
2 apples with some walnut stuffed dates
2 bananas and rest of papaya

1 green salad (1/2 lb+ "spring mix" with celery, blueberries, chopped dates, and ground flax)
1 bowl chopped blueberries with finely chopped mint leaves and cannabis leaves and flowers. Spicy!

Not my typical day...What can I say, the berries are really, really tasty! Probably ate 2 more lbs today!

Kidraw,

Whats in a raw 'cinnamon roll' with berries and maple cream?

I haven't been making any complex stuff lately, but that one sounds pretty tasty.

I mail order them from here -

[shop.puremarketexpress.com]

Unfortunately the maple cream has maple syrup in it, which I know isn't raw, and they're frozen, which isn't optimum, but I find mail-ordering raw prepared food helps me keep up my weight. Some of their desserts are really good, BTW, but the ice creams are not.

epic.

This helps alot, thank you everyone and Mindy for suggesting.

I struggle with what vegetables to eat.. I seem to keep doing the same thing over and over, lettuce, peppers, broc, onion. It is getting old though.

So fun to read!! Panchito, I wanna be like you when I grow up. ha! I can't imagine getting all of the food into me. I'm impressed and look forward to being able to do the same someday. Do you grow some of your own food to save money?

Michele,

I am a bit stuck with eating the same things almost daily also. I'm getting tired of my food too!

Thank God that Spring is coming and that there will be more options!

Do you go to a Farmer's Market weekly?? If so, have you found any organic farmers there?
I am very grateful to have a FM only 10 minutes away from us that we can go to every Sat. morn. Although there is but one Organic farmer there, he grows alot of variety. Let's see if I can remember what they had last week; 3 varieties Swiss Chard, 3 var. Kale, Broccolini, Some beautiful, funky looking cauliflower (looks like a plant that came from bottom of the ocean - ha), 2 var. Bok choy, 2 var. Daikon, 2 var. Radishes, lots of diff fresh herbs, including parsley, 2 var. beets, turnips, rutabaga, 3 var. lettuce, tangerines, fuju persimmons, and other things that I am sure I am forgetting.

I told the farmer last week that he is my lifeline!

I just made a salad dressing that was good, however I just eyeballed everything. Expensive though.

1 C. Raw, Organic Cashews (that you've soaked in good water for 2 hrs., drained)
1/2 t. Onion Powder
1/2 t. Garlic Powder
Good Salt to taste
handful fresh parsley
basil
1/2 C - 1 C Water

I used my Vita Mix but saw a gal (who I got the main idea from) on YouTube use her food processor.

Prana posted a dressing recipe on my big, long thread that you can find if you look around a bit.

Even if you don't feel it optimum, can you share what an avg day of food has in it for you? Maybe you and I can encourage one another with some easy food ideas.

Blessings!

Mindy

the body has its own intelligence different than the mind. My digestion is now more agressive. When I eat now, it is like feeding wolves. The raw jopurney will help you become in touch with your body and its needs. The mind lives in a bubble and your body is your real life. You'll develop special ears by not listening to what the brain says. Though it is not easy as that is what they teach people from baby. They teach the brain without listening to the body.

I believe it!

Are you also an aggressive exerciser?
