Smoothies....

I am really beginning to love smoothies.  This morning, I couldn't decide what I wanted for breakfast but I knew that I  wanted a raw treat.  So, out came the blender and I blended up some pineapple, strawberries, blackberries, goji berries, raw cacao nibs, raw hempseeds, and chia seeds with some almond milk for pure bliss!!!!  I devoured this drink in no time!!!

I will definitely be making more of these.  Especially since it kept me full for the better part of the day.

So, its off to Trader Joe's to get some almond butter and a few other things.....

until next time.....eat healthy and stay strong!

Uneventful Eating

I made myself a smoothie for breakfast.  I blended together some frozen strawberries and pineapples, then I added some almond milk, some spinach leaves, a banana, and some cacoa nibs.  It was delish!  The for a mid morning snack I had 2 bananas and some mixed nuts.  For lunch I had a salad and some mixed fruit.  Dinner consisted of a veggie burger and some mixed veggies.

At least I was able to have some raw food in the mix today.  Slowly but surely I am making the transition.

One Step At A Time

Today I didn't get in as much raw food as I wanted so I concentrated on not eating any meat.  For Breakfast I had a piece of cinnamon raisin toast with jelly and some lemon water.  For snacks I had a banana with raw almond butter that I mixed with some chia seeds and I aslo had some strawberries and grapes.  For lunch I had a salad with some goji berries, nutritional yeast, hemp seeds, and since I didn't have time to make any salad dressing, I just had a packet of the ceasar dressing that they sell here at work.  I was driving home and wasn't sure what I was going to have for dinner so I decided to stop by Giant.  Did you know that they have a great Natural food aisle?  They have tons of vegetarian and vegan products.  I opted for one of Amy's frozen dinners.  It was the Chana masala with rice and peas....FANTASTIC!!!!  I would like to eat those meals more often but I wasn't happy about the sodium content and the little bit of saturated fat frightened me.  So, these will only be last minute options for me when there is nothing else in the fridge.

Well, I made it through the day and I don't think that I did too bad.  Takin it one step at a time is what I have to keep reminding myself.

Yes I Did Have Dinner

I forgot to mention that I had broccoli and rice for dinner along with some black bean soup.  The soup was fantastic and I was so full after eating it all!!!!!

Making It Happen

So yesterday was day two of me trying to get healthy and eat better.  I am trying to incorporate more raw foods into my everyday living...tough, but doable.

For breakfast I had green juice (kale, spinach, apples, blueberries, and blackberries).  Lunch consisted of a salad with goji berries, hemp seeds, nutritional yeast, romaine lettuce, and homemade dressing.  I try to make the dressing a little spicy and interesting so yesterday's dressing consisted of tahini, cayenne pepper, garlic, lemon juice, shoyo, and some agave nectar.  I didn't really measure anything, I just taste tested it as I went along and to be honest, it was pretty tasty.

I plan on taking pictures of what I am eating so stay tuned for that.  Until next time...Keep your head up and eat healthy!

Getting Started....

Well, today is another day for me to start adding raw\vegan foods into my daily eating routine. Each day is a challenge, but I know I will prevail.

So far today I had a smoothie (spinach, almond milk, chia seeds, hemp seeds, goji berries, and blackberries) and an organic teriyaki tofu burrito.
