While I'm not going to eat raw food all the time, and this was just a way to introduce some new foods and new eating habits to our family... I have been amazed at the help I've received from Raw Food Bloggers all over the world....
People I didn't even know answering my questions both on here and via email..... So even without the fancy contraptions, I will be taking a new food journey... shifting from total Vegetarian (partially Vegan), to a Vegetarian (partially Vegan) that eats a lot of Raw Food.
Today was the beginning of that "official" journey, as I like to start on Mondays when I do new things... Not sure why? I'm just strange like that....
And it started with a Green Smoothie.. This time my Magic Bullet did the trick... But Hubby mentioned that a Vitamix may be in my future..... Could it be?????:
Ingredients.....(all organic) Spinach, Apple, Pear, Banana, carrots, strawberries, Soy Milk and Ice. (I forgot the flax... whoops)
Verdict: I couldn't drink it all at a normal breakfast time! It filled me up completely, it would be several hours before I finished drinking this green goodness...
And how cool is that? No snacking, No coffee, No feeling hungry, plenty of energy to start my day, even with not much sleep. And something to sip on for a couple hours that tasted quite yummy!
Then between 12 and 3pm, I munched on some Walnuts, Apples and Peanut Butter, some pear chunks and Carrot Sticks....
Around 3:30, I started to feel draggy... needing something filling besides Fruit to eat... which means tomorrow, I will be bringing some thing more substantial for Lunch... Today I just grabbed what I could without having groceries in the house. So I was lacking something.
And by 5pm, I ate one of Veg's Cliff bars from my purse... So in total it was a Healthy Food Day and Mostly Raw, for a first one (outside of the cliff bar)... my Dinners will remain Non-Raw until I come up with good recipes that I can realistically make....
Speaking of food??? I have some Shopping to do!
