Mojito Smoothie

I made a smoothie yesterday that was the best I've made yet! It tasted like a mojito (without the rum and sugar of course)

1 Cucumber

20 Blueberries

7 Mint leaves

small amount of choopped Ginger

1/2 cup of Coconut Juice

I'm going to try it with Zucchini today!

POWER

POWER BOOST

Drink this at least 15 minutes before eating.

1 tart organic apple, unpeeled, quartered and chopped
3-5 scrubbed, unpeeled organic carrots, chopped
2 clean stalks of organic kale, stems removed

Juice according to manufacturer's directions for your juicer. Drink juice immediately. Yes, it is the color of your lawn, but it's pleasant tasting, loaded with nutrients, and packed with power. You'll see.

Today I have done a better job at staying raw. I tend to get snack happy towards evening, so we will see how tonight goes. I am going grocery shopping after looking at different websites for recipes! I'm excited to try some of them out! My energy level started off really low this morning, but has raised to what I would say a 5.

They say a happy, healthy person that eats right shouldn't get sick...well my friends..this is so true to my life. When ever I go on these binges of eating bad, I tend to feel sick..my throat was hurting this last night..so I know, it's back to Jessica taking care of herself! I have been taking my Vit-C's and reg. Vit..and have already felt an improvement. I also hopped on the treadmill and did a hefty 45 min! That got the blood pump'n! (don't worry..mostly walking..but still counts!!!!)

I love the pictures! They make me smile! Keep posting them!

Love to you!

Toughy

Well, I realized that if you are running late and have to work, it's almost impossible to eat RAW on the run. Haven't eaten anything raw today, veggie sammy, some hard candies (thanks to the waiting room at my work) and herbal tea. I am almost craving a energy packed smoothie!

Energy level today is a 5

Mentally I am low too, a 4

Physically I am feeling really cold and tired 4

I will check in later to see if this improves after some fresh fruit, veggies, and some hot water!!

All love :)

I'm needing a clean start after not so hot of a raw food eating day! With that, I found this website that can help!

Struggle

Let's start with last night....I ate mostly raw for the first part of the day, and then had spaghetti with the fam at night. Although it was mostly all organic, it wasn't raw & I did throw in some garlic bread :( But giving myself a break...I was once told by another raw enthusiast to start of slow..making a complete switch can feel very overwhelming..which is where I feel.

Today I started of with apple and peanut butter, then was starving and ended up having a sandwich and some baked chips....this is where I start feeling overwhelmed. I'm not afraid of sticking anything in the juicer, but am needing recipes and ideas for eating raw meals. Reading Kasey's blog everyday has helped already. I'm starting to make a grocery list of raw foods, to stock the fridge with (it's running really low on fruits and veggies). I'm thinking in investing in a cookbook as well..I need a simple one that isn't overwhelming, as I am a beginner cook to begin with!

My energy level has increased already since yesterday. Starting to switch even slightly has already made an impact. I rated myself at a 4. My goal is to keep working towards eating completely raw!

Keep sending me food ideas of meals...salads are only fun for 1 meal a day :)..I need more options!

Oh and before I go...word to the wise..I made a juice yesterday and put 2 stalks of celery..WOWY that was way too much..it made my juice taste like a salty celery Bloody Mary! Yikes!

Love and Peace!
