I’ve taken to eating mostly raw / raw all day / raw til dinner, which I think I’m going to continue indefinitely since I enjoy it so much. Here are some of my favourite raw foods that I’ve been eating lately:
- Grapefruit. I’ve started eating this for breakfast, generally a grapefruit a day. It’s so delicious and it’s light enough for eating in the morning but also filling enough that I don’t often need much else until lunch time.
- Green smoothies. Loving my combo of water, dark leafy greens, wheat grass shots, sea buckthorn, bee pollen, chia seeds, apples, and lemon. So refreshing.
- Simple salads. Green leaf lettuce, EVOO, balsamic, and hemp hearts. That’s it. YUM.
- Dehydrated almonds. I got a great recipe for these from my favourite raw food recipe book, Eat Raw, Eat Well. Basically you toss the almonds in a mixture of soy sauce, honey, cumin, chili powder, and sea salt, and then dehydrate them overnight. They are delicious.
- Raw brownies. Combo of walnuts, honey, cacao powder, cinnamon, and vanilla extract or beans. Perfect when you need a chocolate fix.
I’m experimenting a lot with dehydrated buckwheat flatbreads, raw guacamole, cauliflower popcorn, etc. Just testing out various recipes and seeing how I like them and how well my body works on them. It’s fun to test-drive these things!
