I have done this and found a salad very filling in the morning. I was wondering if this was done by anyone but me...

Well, we do put an awful lot of spinach in that smoothie of ours but other than that, no, not really. I might eat some berries and weeds outside some spring/summer mornings, that's still mostly fruit though.

I love salad in the morning, I usually, if I have them, like putting dried cranberries and sliced almonds, although lately pecans as ive run out of almonds... and a citrus based vinaigrette...its so bright and light, its a great way to start the day ^_^

Same. Breakfast is something from the blender or juicer. Even before raw.

I never liked typical breakfast foods and especially didn't understand eating extremely sweet foods first thing in the morning. And all pure junk. When I was SAD I ate all types of things: soup, pasta, leftovers like chinese, whatever I felt like. I ate some breakfast/sweet things too, but it was never consistent. I tend to be addicted to savory more than sweet.

With raw, I stick with a more typical breakfast-either a green smoothie, pudding or fruit. Occasionally I'll have soup or something else. Though I find if I start out with something savory, I tend to want to eat that all day. Which is bad since it leads to overeating & it's not a diet high enough in fruit.

So yes, I could eat salad all day long, but I don't. smiling smiley

Sometimes--I figure if I'm gonna have most of those ingredients in a green smoothie first thing in the morning anyway, what's the diff? Doesn't some raw guru(I forget who) refer to green smoothies as a "blended salad"?

Nowadays I have only lemon water,or juiced watermelon for breakfast.It just feels right.I think back to when I had stuff like a can of tuna, or the previous nights leftovers like chili or meatloaf for breakfast,and I would never go back to that way of eating.Then I went through the milk and protein powder phase being a bodybuilder,and I would never do that anymore either.
As far as salads,I dig in at lunch because by noon,I am wanting something to really munch on!!

mmm, I really like "slaws" for lunch, just because usually around lunch im a bit busy, and salad that ive pre-shredded earlier that morning, just seems to be easier to eat more quickly when I need to go... and easier to take with me!
