Mixed fresh fruit – kiwi, grapes, pears, grapefruit, orange, etc.
Muesli – raw oats, banana, and raisins in almond milk
Lunch
Lettuce leaves with hummus spread on them, and on top add various veggies like alfalfa sprouts, yellow beans, zucchini, celery, and cherry tomatos.
After lunch I overdosed on sweets – 8 Trader Joe’s vegan trail mix cookies, dried mango, and dried banana. I got really sleepy afterwards. Another sugar crash like with the raw goji cheesecake?
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!
