Today marks my first week of going 100%raw. I've eaten at 2 raw food restaurants here in NYC and it's been awesome. I love trying new recipes and the feeling I get from it. I'm actually eating for health, not just to eat! Yesterday I was feeling kinda down so I thought that I should get a smoothie with maca in it since it helps with mood...I think that's the first time I thought hey I'm feeling down, what foods will hellp me? I never think like that. Usually I'd think about taking some mood alte… Continue

SO tonight I made beet pasta with "alfredo sauce" from rawjeevan.com. it was so good! I also had a couple small tomatoes and 1/4 of an avocado with lemon juice and olive oil and a bit of oregano. I wanted something sweet so i had a 1/2 white pear and 1/2 banana with drizzled raw honey w cinnamon + nutmeg. mmmmmmm so good. Earlier I made sunflower "cheese". I tried it with a couple sundried tomatoes. it was pretty good. So in the fridge I have "spaghetti sauce", "sunflower cheese", and tonights d… Continue

So I just made a smoothie.. spinach, raspberries, almond milk, strawberries, blueberries and 1/2 banana. This is the first time I've used spinach in a smoothie and it's great.

It had really positive reviews, so I hope it's good! Any experiences with this? I'm feeling really positive today. I"m hoping the "detox" won… Continue

So today I've gotten back on the raw food wagon. I've done more research and gotten a bit more motivated. Is Muesli raw? I had that for breakfast with some blueberries and almond milk. For lunch a friend and I went to Quintessence (in NYC) and we both got the california pizza. OMG it was delish! I got a raw tiramisu to take home.. so good. For dinner I made raw spaghetti. it was good but needs a little tweaking. So since I have class at 10 tomorrow I think I'm going to make a smoothie and put it… Continue

So today's the first day of my adventure into the world of raw. Well, mostly raw. I've been seeing a holistic healer who has me on a combination of 6 different vitamins totaling in a consumption of about 40 a day. Nutritionally speaking I've never eaten too horribly. I've been vegetarian for 12 years now, starting when I was 10 years old. The problem is that for a lot of the time I was more like a carbatarian. I've been vegan off and on during that period as well and while that was great I still… Continue
