Day 4 of 7-Day Raw Food Cleanse
Tasty smoothie for breakfast/lunch: bell pepper, apple, banana, chard, orange, raw honey (do they normally cook it?), bee pollen, carrots, snap peas (in pod), & dandelion greens (really bitter! They work better for a salad or for a sauteed greens. I learned the hard way, so you don’t have to.) I’d do this one again, minus the dandelion greens (but hey, they were cheap at the farmers market). -
DAY 4 done!
I made it this far. YES! Four down, three more to go.I’ve found the hardest moments of this cleanse are when I let myself get over hungry, waiting to eat because I have to get work done. The hungrier I get, the more I think, “It’s too much work to do this whole raw thing. All this slicing, preparing, thinking about recipes”. So I’m learning to always have tasty raw snacks with me like cashews, dried cranberries, & raw fruit like oranges & apples.
Breakfast:
A pretty tasty smoothie w/: bell pepper, apple, banana, chard, orange, raw honey (do they normally cook it?), bee pollen, carrots, snap peas (in pod), & dandelion greens (really bitter! They work better for a salad or for a sauteed greens. I learned the hard way, so you don’t have to.) I’d do this one again, minus the dandelion greens (but hey, they were cheap at the farmers market).Lunch:
Leftover salad from the day before.Snacks:
Cashews. soaked sunflower seeds (maybe these would taste better with honey. hmmm….),Dinner:
A quick mango/piña/OJ smoothie on the way to go see Fela! downtown. And took an orange, nuts, & water to the show (needed that cuz I was gettin’ hungry!)
