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!
It’s been pretty hectic lately. I don’t remember what I had for lunch. Ah yes, I had lunch out because of a business meeting. It was a garden burger. Ugh, I got really sleepy afterwards and had trouble concentrating the rest of the afternoon. It’s probably full of high glycemic load carbs.
But for dinner I had Raw Spaghetti. I didn’t get a chance to snap a video of it tonight, but you can see it in tomorrow’s post (click on the Raw Spaghetti link) where I had leftovers for lunch.
Raw Pumpkin Seed and Rice Casserole. The rice was still quite crispy even after being soaked for over 24 hours.
Something interesting happened, which I left for the very bottom so only the dedicated will see it.
And because I care so deeply for your success, my beloved reader, I shall spare no detail when I share.
You see, I had diarrhea this morning. Which is very highly unusual for me.
I can’t say for certain what caused it. Most likely the Raw Lentil Avocado Casserole from last night. But was it something with the soaked lentils? Or the mushrooms?
Who knows. And to confuse matters further, I went ahead and had the leftovers for lunch… With no further, umm, “events.”
Just goes to remind you that you should pay attention to your body. It tries to communicate with you the best it knows how. Heed its calls for attention.
The insides of the rolls are lined with raw hummus. Adds some flavor and keeps it from being too dry.
I eat the fruit about an hour after starting work. The delay gives my stomach a chance to empty — allegedly it’s best to eat fruit on an empty stomach. Plus, I like to try to get most of my calories in the morning so I can burn them off throughout the day. Grapefruit is one of my favorites.
Lunch
Lunch out with a colleague from work. Had a garden burger — definitely not raw. Building & maintaining work relationships in this way is a challenge for raw foodies. Well, for me at least.
Dinner
Back on the bandwagon!
I think I forgot to mention that the sauce on top is avacado and lemon juice, blended.
Dessert was a nice and welcome surprise from my wife! YUM!
