Daily Breakdown: Wow! Today has been zoom-zoom all over the place. Being raw takes up some TIME because there's no such thing as hitting up the drive-thru for that quick bite of raw burger. Though I have been meaning to try a raw burger recipe...
I know there were a million things on my mind to discuss today, but I spent the evening uncooking for a friend who really needed some healthful camaraderie today and writing folks back-and-forth about their own paths to health! After yesterday's nay-sayers bit, I got a lot of good responses from friends all-over who are doing their own thing to be more mindful of what they eat. Anything from those currently trying to be vegetarian in not-so-supportive households, to those now eating raw for two meals a day, to even a friend who has decided to be 100% raw/juicing for an entire week. It takes time to relearn health from what it has become in the mainstream public. If you simply add more fruits and vegetables to your diet then you've begun to heal your body and you will feel the difference! Kudos to all those free-thinking health nuts out there!
Here's my day, ya'll:
Breakfast: Green smoothie with SPINACH (because turns out that nasty smoothie the day before had been made with turnip greens. Oh gravy that was... that was unbearable.), 1 banana, 1/2 cup of bluebz, 1/4 mango, 1/2 lime, agave nectar, and, you guessed it, Vitamineral Green.
Shhhhhnack: Grapes. Mmmmmmm :-)
Lunch: 3/4 mango, orange, another orange
Insanity FITNESS.
Shhhhhnack numero dos: mushed banana with dried cherries, coconut, cinnamon, and agave nectar
Dinner: Amazing little friend-date with one of my closest allies on this path to alternative living- Lizz! We had raw stir-fry, veggies with spinach dip, guacamole cabbage rolls, and another batch of those super awesome brownies. All of those recipes can be found in earlier posts! Just did what I knew :-)
Congrats to all of those who have recently made some sort of conscious change in their eating behaviors... We are one sexy, growing community and it's nice to have you as a part of it!

Effects: Well. It's become clear to me that I am allergic to almonds. Not sure if I've mentioned that here in this blog yet, but I am hahaha. Whenever I eat my beloved apples dipped in raw almond butter, half of my lip doubles in size! Soooo... needless to say I'm going to keep eating it hahaha... until May, when I'm switching back to organic peanut butter. The raw stuff is better for you, but I have an allergic reaction and it's a little pricey, so I won't feel too guilty about making that change next week.
Also, as predicted, those pounds came back. Those sneaky little buggers. Whatev- my pants are baggy and people are telling me that I look good, but they can't figure out why. It's cause I'm healthier ya'll. Health-ee-er. Got a spring in my step and vitamins in my system!... That's the spirit...
Here's to the conscious eating revolution!

Oh! And I didn't try any new recipes today, but to just give you all a little nugget of awesome inspiration- here's the trailer for the documentary Raw for 30 Days:
