Day 1: 100% Raw Food 4wk kick start!
Well the reasons why I am doing this raw food cleanse/ kick off are many. I have had raw food diets presented to me in many ways and many times in the past year. I decided this last time while doing my nutritional counselor certification this would be a perfect time!
When I have heard of people eating raw food diets in the past I always picture this mundane diet with carrot & celery sticks and maybe some salads!
It’s funny now after diving head first into Living on live Food by Alissa Cohen and some other books that I have had on my shelf for awhile now I really see how I could have done this years ago!
However, having my handy dandy vita mix is making all the difference as well.
I will write more later around why and how and everything else I can think of : ) for now I am just going to jog down what I ate today and how I felt… It’s a good starting point for this lil journey I think.
Day1: Monday May 24, 2010
8am- fruit smoothie blend- 1banana, fresh blueberries, mango & pineapple. 1 scoop green vibrance, chia seeds, water & ice. Yum!
10am- after my crazy day1 month2 max interval circuit which surprisingly I had tons of energy for I made a green drink. Munched a few go raw spirulina chips while it was blending. I made a green drink with fresh dandelion greens, spinach, green kale & a Fuji apple. Water and Ice. It smelled marvelous! It didn’t taste quite as marvelous as it smelled though. It wasn’t as sweet, of course, a little bitter maybe is a good word but really it was much better than I thought it might be. I am in search of a great green drink right now. I am waiting on my girl Kathryn to come thru with her magic recipe!
12noon- half an avocado with fresh chopped tomato and a little black pepper. This was yummy and ½ a banana.
230pm-rest of my green drink re-blended up with a little more water to make it go down easier.
6pm- Big salad of fresh greens from my organic garden! ½ avocado, a few raw almonds and fresh tomato and grated zucchini and gold beet. I made the ACohen cilantro vinagrette from her book! Wow it is yummy and it made my salad! I also decided to make the date nut torte tonight and it is really good. I couldn't get the frosting part to whip up fluffy and pretty like her picture but it still tastes fantastic!
Lots of water thru the day though, those of you who know me know what a H2O guzzler I am!
Today is only day 1, I was super excited to star this lifestyle change today and felt awesome. After the green drink I was buzzing! I had so much energy it was a great boost after a tough workout. I am going to drink my green drink first tomorrow and see how different my energy during my workout is. I could use the push! My allergies didn’t bother me today...Hmmm….
Well until tomorrow…
