Raw Diet - Day 4

Can you believe I'm still going? 

To be honest the hardest part is all the prep. I'm running out of time in my day - tired of spending my whole day in the kitchen! But I seriously am scared to stop! I really do feel great! And have gone these 4 days without experiencing my afternoon slump and fatigue! I really have SO much more energy! I'm scared to stop this. But in all reality, it's so hard to keep up. I will probably go at least one more day, cause I have a few more recipes to share. :-) 

But I definitely want to incorporate a lot more Raw in my life!

Breakfast: Vanilla Peach Smoothie 

Ingredients:

2 C Kale

1 C Frozen Peach 

Small Handful of frozen Cherries

1/2 C Almond Milk (or any milk)

1/2 Scoop of Life's Basics Plant Protein 

2 Dates (for sweetness)

Optional: 1 Tbls Spirulina

Mid Morning Snack: Apple Raisin Cookies

Recipe adapted from ramazing.com

Ingredients:

1 C Oats

1 C Oat Flour (Oats ground in Blender)

1 C Almond Flour (ground in blender)

1 C Apple Puree (3 apples pureed in processor)

1/2 C Coconut Oil

1/4 C Raw Honey

1 T Cinnamon

1 C Raisins

Roll in balls and place on dehydrator for 5-7 hours.

Lunch: Salad

- Once again, didn't have a ton of time. Just threw some veggies together and topped with a little Annie's lite Ginger dress (not raw - but AMAZING!).

-One Banana and Almond Butter for dessert

Snack: Kale Corn Chips w/ Guac

These weren't as amazing as expected. 

The kale just overpowered it for me. But they tasted great with the guac! 

You can find the recipe HERE

Dinner: Falafel's (raw)

Made with sprouted Garbanzo Beans (chickpeas). I was excited to try these, because for one, I LOVE falafel's  (You can see the ones I actually 'cooked' (haha) HERE), but sprouting is a HUGE health benefit! When you sprout beans or seeds the vitamins, minerals, and Protein increase, while the carbs and calories decrease! NO JOKE! Crazy huh? 

I did slightly taste that 'sprouted' taste, but only every few bites. haha 

I actually really liked them though! My fam tucked them in a pita with Tahini, cucumber, red onion, pickles, sprouts, and fresh mozzarella - my family LOVED it!

I just ate them on a salad with Annie's Green Goddess Dressing 

(the best dressing in the entire world! - again, not raw, but oh well  - you can find it in my sidebar:))

You can find the recipe HERE. 

I just added an extra Tbl of Soy Sauce and Extra tsp Cumin and some salt.

Dessert: Dairy and Sugar Free Chocolate Macadamia Ice-cream

SO GOOD it deserves its own post! Stay Tuned! :)
