Raw Diet - Day 1

I thought I would try it out. For those of you who haven't heard about Raw Food Diet - its a diet where you eat uncooked 'raw' food only. No animal products, diary, or bread. Nothing Cooked! :( 

Ya- Hard core!! People swear it makes you feel amazing and it is SOOO good for you! 

To be honest, I think it's sorta crazy. 

But I do think trying it out for a little while isn't bad. It refocuses your diet, get's you back on track, and you can learn some amazing new recipes that incorporate more 'good for you' food! So I don't know how long I will last - but I'm gonna give it a try. :)

Breakfast: Green Smoothie

(this is typical for me) (except mine are purple from the blueberries :))

2 C Spinach

1/2 C Frozen Blueberries

1/2- 1 Banana (frozen if possible)

1/2 C Almond Milk
3/4 Scoop Chocolate Plant Protein
(love this Brand:)

Snack:

Ants on a log with Almond Butter! YUM
And an Apple

Lunch: Broccoli/Peach Salad

Adapted from HERE

Chop up the following:

1 C Broccoli

1/4 C Red onion

1 Peach 

1/2 Avocado

Couple Blueberries

Slivered Almonds (optional)

Raisins

Sprinkle with Balsamic Vinegar and Salt and Pepper

YUM!

-I actually really enjoyed this salad! It's different from the norm.

Afternoon Snack:Cookie Dough Bites
YUCK! It was something that sounded good. Cashews, oats, and honey. I think my cashews were rancid. Ugh!

Also, Lots of Fruit and nut trail mix!

Dinner: Broccoli Un-Stir Fry

Recipe found HERE

-I actually LOVED it! Should have chosen something besides Broccoli again. But It tasted so different from another salad. I felt satisfied. Surprisingly!

Dessert: Watermelon Sorbet 

- DiViNe!

2 C Frozen Cubed Watermelon

1/2 Frozen Chopped Banana

1-2 tsp Lime Juice

1/4 tsp Stevia Extract or Honey

1/2 C (or more) Sparkling Water

Add all ingredients and blend. Adjust the consistency of the water to what you want. For sorbet keep it less water, for a yummy Watermelon Lemonade add some more water and a touch more lime. It's great both ways!!!
