Raw Food Restaurant & Raw Burger – Meals 11/20/2008

Today I treated myself to lunch at Cafe Gratitude, my favorite raw food restaurant. It’s called a “raw burger” but there’s no meat involved. Everything is organic and hand made, right down to the ketchup!

Raw Green Smoothie – Meals 11/16/2008

Watch for the little “blooper” at the end. Oops!

The smoothie was made with spinach, lettuce, and some other green leafy things blended together with 1 banana, a splash of orange juice, and some raw walnuts. The fruit sweetens it up and masks the taste of the greens, so it’s really a painless and tasty way to get more fresh fruits and veggies in!

Raw “Som Tom” Thai Spicy Papaya Salad and Raw Zucchini Makki – Meals 11/14/2008

Breakfast

The “dressing” is simply blended tomatoes, dried tomatoes, avocado, dates, and cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil.

Lunch

It was too thick to begin with so I added some orange juice to thin it out.

Dinner

The rolls are like Japanese makki: thin zucchini slices stuffed with nuts & tomatoes. The Thai “som tom” spicy has raw cashews in place of peanuts and was just fabulous!
