Raw Update

We have turned a corner.  By the end of day 2 I think we were both feeling unsatisfied and just wanting to eat something crunchy or hot!!  We woke up today though(day 4) and had an awesome cereal and were feeling better and ready to tackle the next 10 days.  There is NO way I could do this without Jimmie.  I have seen how easily I want to quit things!  The only thing we really have changed our mind on was the Chili, was good the first time but just never sounded good after that.  We have however tried two Chocolate Mousse recipes that we love!!  That has been a staple after every meal.  I will post those soon, but one thing that would be easy to try and not too weird is Muesli.  We have no idea what that means or how to say it, but it was great!!

MUESLI

1/2 C rolled oats

2 T raisins

1T chopped raw almonds or walnuts

2 t raw sunflower seeds

2 t agave nectar, raw honey, or whole cane sugar

1/2 C Almond Milk

1/4 C fresh blueberries, strawberries, banana, etc.

Tomorrow we are going to try Spinach Apple Soup.  Aaron recommended this, so I am sure we will like it.

SPINACH APPLE SOUP

2 C spinach leaves, tightly packed

1/2 apple, peeled and chopped

1/2 C water, plus 1/4 C water to thin if needed

1t fresh lemon juice

Dash salt

1/2 ripe avocado, chopped

1)Place spinach, apple, water, lemon juice, and salt in blender and process until smooth.  

2)Add avocado until smooth.

3)Add remaining 1/4 C water to thin if needed and blend briefly.

For a side we will have bell peppers with a black bean spread.  Just put the beans in the food processor with a little salt and olive oil.

Have a great weekend, challenge yourself and make something new!
