It's my 4th day of RAW during my RAW Week this week! I thought I would share some of the Kitchen Adventures with you from last night and today.
In random order...
These Carrots with "Cheesy" Walnut Tomato Dip!
Recipe - All in Vitamix:
1 C Walnuts
3 Sun Dried Tomatoes
1/2 C Nutritional Yeast
2 T Lemon Juice
1 tea Apple Cider Vinegar
1 tea Paprika
I had some of these as a snack last night as well as part of my lunch today. I still have some of the dip left over.
I jumped back in with the smoothies today after skipping only one day.
Today's was a Blueberry Hemp Smoothie
Recipe - All in Vitamix:
2 one-inch chunks of frozen banana
1 C Blueberries
2 T Hemp Seeds/Hemp Hearts
1 C Water
1 Handful of Spinach
1 Date
This was super tasty!
My energy level has been pretty good. I noticed a blemish on my chest yesterday and I'm chalking it up to my body's way of detoxing.
I took another selfie this morning. My hair is pulled back into a pony tail.
Other that no afternoon crash - which I don't usually get any ways - maybe once or twice a week - and the blemish I found - I haven't seen many major changes after 4 days. I've been waking up better which is nice.
I have already made a choice tho...eventho...I will be going back to cooking foods after this weekend...I'm going to try and stay High Raw...my goal is roughly 75% or so.
So I'm sure you will be seeing a lot more salads from me in the near future.
One thing I have noticed about my "senses" is I have found that I LOVE pickles in my salads now. I have tried it every once and a blue moon before but I'm totally digging pickles in my salads now.
Speaking of Salads...here's mine from last night!
The lettuce variety I used for this salad was Petite Tango. I did a whole head again. I also threw in a good amount of Cherry Tomatoes, a few mini Orange Bell Peppers - diced, pickles - diced, and a really tasty dressing!
Apple Walnut Mustard Dressing
1 Apple
1 T Raw Grapeseed Oil
2 T Lemon Juice
1 Date
1/2 tea Mustard
I really enjoyed this dressing! I will say this is the first oil I have added to anything this week! Eventho it was 1 T or less even - I am pretty sure that is what was 'going on' in the toilet POST my visit earlier today!
