On Friday I ate: - 6 green shakes (water, greens powder, frozen banana, and organic tofu). - Big oat cake (local oats, vanilla protein powder, banana, cinnamon, and a little water all mashed together and formed into a "cake"). - Dinner with the boyfriend: Brown rice pasta with roasted red…
I live in the heart of the downtown in Winnipeg. I absolutely love it. I'm so close to everything and the heritage buildings are absolutely gorgeous. The only problem is that there aren't too many people living in this area - yet - and so it can be a rather…
On Wednesday I ate: - 7 green shakes. - 3 oat cakes. - Salad with 1/4 avocado, a few mushrooms, 1/4 apple, mixed spring greens, and a drizzle of dressing. - Spirulina super chips. - Homemade "chocolate" (PB2, chocolate protein powder, and local honey). - 4 romaine lettuce wraps with…

But there are many other ingredients which are in there too, such as cold-pressed oils, raw cacao powder, sprouts, nori and…
Today is my first official day of the six-month high-raw mostly-vegan adventure! And I'm especially excited because soon I will have home-grown greens to incorporate on a regular basis to my raw vegan diet. I've talked about the urban organic indoor community garden that I'm a part of here and…
Be sure to check out Monday's blog post (part one of my six-month high-raw mostly-vegan adventure!). Not only am I planning on going high-raw and mostly-vegan for the next six months, but I'm also planning on going as gluten-free and organic as I can. I'd like to go local, but…
I've been thinking about raw food again. The weather's been warmer, and in February I stopped keeping my pantry totally stocked. Instead I've just been buying fruits and vegetables on a regular basis (and other staples, when I run out - oatmeal, canned beans, etc). My fridge has been emptier.…
