Guest guest Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 I've only been raw for about 12 days now, but here is what I have been doing: Breaksfast: juice 4 carrots, an apple, 2 stalks of celery, some cucumber and add it to a full blender of spinach. Blend and enjoy!! Fruits as a snack. Usually nectarines and apricots and bananas Lunch: Banana smoothie. 2 really ripe bananas sometimes frozen, a little almond milk and little agave (one of my favorite sweet tooth substitues) Fruits as snacks. More nectarines, some pineapple or mango (any fruit really) Dinner: Romaine lettuce with shredded carrots, cucumber, brocolli and sometimes mushrooms. I make dressing with half an avocado and add juice from an orange and lime and fresh cilatro. I don't have the dressing every night. I also like shredded zuccini with tomatoes and basil. I have been sticking with what I like. Not much variety but I'm good with that. Night time snack if I get hungry...you guessed it...more fruit. I feel like I eat all day long LOL!!! I try to eat something as soon as I feel hunger coming on so I don't have time to think about eating SAD food.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 Anna, do you make your own vinegerette? Also, I see some of you speak of eating cashews. Do you eat them raw? I have never eaten raw cashews and have only rarely even seen them. Do they taste very different from cooked cashews?

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 Yup When I am hungry I am most likely to eat anything in sight. I always take a small cooler with fruit and ice anywhere I go just in case I get hungry. Or I can stop at Wawa and get a banana but then I see all the other stuff and it is a little harder LOL!!

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 This thinking applies equally to all areas of self-care. For example, many people report that they have trouble " warming up " at times. The key is never to become " cold " in the first place ... and it's easy, once you shift your mindset about it.

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 I eat alot of bananas! I sometimes start the day with several bananas, then follow up with a fruit smoothie, made with frozen bananas. Today's was a mix ( I like to experiment) about 1 1/2 frozen bananas, cantalope,blueberries,watermelon and local honey. A bit sweet, but good! Lunch is usually a salad, peaches or plums or banana. I use a homemade dressing of apple cider vinigar, olive oil salt & pepper. I found I can get more salad in a tupperware (lunch/dinner is at work) by cutting the lettuce and other vegi's in small pieces, small enough to scoop with a spoon. I like this alot better it's easier to eat if I am crunched for time. I sometimes work through my meal. I make guacamole (avacado,lime jiuce, sea salt) and have a handful of tortilla chips... I am about 80-100% raw most days. I *try* very hard to keep raw - if I can't through lack of pre-planning, I stick with a vegitarian meal. I work at a SAD grocery store, so most days (depending on my frame of mind) even w/o planning I can choose vegi's over anything else that is sold at my store. Smiles~ Natalie Natalie Luggage? GPS?
