First Week Back on Raw Food

So it's the end of my first week back on Raw.  Why do I ever stop eating this way?  It's taken 1 week, 1 week for me to feel 100 times better.  You may be shocked but eating crappy food makes me feel like well crap.  One week of eating whole raw foods and lots of juices and smoothies and I have energy, I feel lighter and happier in my body.  One week! If you've ever wondered about raw food try it out for just one week, the first few days will be tricky, as will the weekend but stick with it and just see how you feel.

Here is an outline of what I have been eating this last week:

Breakfast Juice and Afternoon Juice Snack:
(I usually make a double batch of juice divide it and take half to work in a jar filled to the brim.  The less air the better, less oxidization.  This recipe is a double, and can be adapted to suit your tastes.)

3 Medium Apples
1 English Cucumber
3 Stalks of Celery
1/2 a bunch of Parsley
1/2 bulb of Fennel

Lunch Green Smoothie:

1 large handful of Spinach
1/2 a cup of Blueberries
1 Medium Banana
1 tbs. Chia Seeds
1 tbs. Hemp Seeds
1 tsp. Chlorella
1 tsp. Maca
Fresh Almond Milk

Snack:

Either a Banana, Strawberries, or an Orange
+ My Afternoon Juice

Dinner:


Either Zuchinni Pasta with an Olive Marinara or Salad.

Pasta take:
2 Medium Zuchinni's spiralized into pasta with the spirooli


For the Marinara blend together:
1 tomato
6 olives
1/4 or less sweet onion
1 sweet bell pepper
1 tsp. capers
Fresh herbs like Parsley or Basil
dash of sea salt
pepper

Blend Pasta with Sauce and Enjoy:)

Or

Salad
Fresh Corn Salad

1 Ear of Corn (chopped)
1 tomato chopped
1/2 a bunch of cilantro
1 avacado
1 tbs. Pickled Jalapeno's with juice (not completely raw unless you make them which I didn't)
I eat this with Belgian Endive and Bell Peppers


Dessert:


Raw dried Raisins or Figs, just a few:)

Plus lots of Water and Tea throughout the day!
