Day 2 , a few thoughts...

Nothing is the cure all fix all. There is a balance that has to be achieved and discovered for each individual person.

For me I have been researching raw diets for a long time but it is only now that I even feel I have enough knowledge to actually tackle it. Plus, I am just learning as I go, but I am in a place where I can give it a really good shot!

I have been emailing a friend who lives this lifestyle everyday, a few times a day, with random questions that arise.

Today after sprouting my Quinoa for the orange basil quinoa salad I am making for dinner I thought?
“Is this right? Do I just eat these lil sprouted things now?”
I am used to cooking quinoa and fluffing it with a fork, so now what?
It seemed strange. I followed the directions so I guess that’s what mattered! Ha! I can follow directions; Sometimes.

Anyhow, I wanted to bring up the topic of doing things the right way.
Do some research. Really try to have an understanding for what you are doing and why; Journal it.
Write down what you want to change, to achieve in your life and through doing a lifestyle /diet change. Evaluate if your reasons are in line with what you are going for.

I love learning about new nutritional news and information. I love new recipes and new food combos.
We are so blessed with this amazing planet that provides us with everything we need to live, thrive & to truly be healthy & dis-ease free.

Finding the balance as I said before is different for everyone and takes time to discover.

I can’t say that 100% without a doubt I am going to be living a 100% raw diet. I think it is more in line with my goals and desired wellness, but I still don’t know. This 4weeks will help me figure that out.

If raw food is something you are curious about here are some great resources I have found so far…

The photo above is the most amazing raw green drink I made today! It was Fantastic!

Here is the recipe too!
Awesome Raw Green Drink!

Bunch of parsley
Bunch of green kale
Bunch of spinach
1 frozen banana
½ cup of fresh pineapple and mango juice. (I had made this fresh in my vita mix and have been using it here and there)
Dash of raw honey
1scoop green vibrance
About a cup of water


Blended in the vita mix until smooth. I think you could achieve this in the bullet too or just your blender. Just make sure it blends up well.
Smells marvelous and taste delicious plus I am zingin with energy.
