Day 8 of 28 Days of Raw

As you already have read, energy, energy and more energy is what I am experiencing being on a 100% raw diet for 8 days now.

After a long day of teaching yoga, doing chores and running around all over the place I'm usually pooped and ready to hit the sac by 10 p.m.  Last night I couldn't believe how awake I felt and that I still had enough energy to want to get up and do something else.  Of course I didn't do that, get up that is, I just closed my eyes and focused on my thoughts till sleep settled in.

After another amazing nights sleep, I woke up ready to go.  Again not feeling hungry at all but having energy to get going, getting a fire on to keep the house warm, tidying up, and experimenting in my raw food kitchen.

Inspired by the smoothy I had yesterday I felt like I could do with another to have while I played around in the kitchen with new recipes and what I would like for lunch and diner today.

Here is what is un-cooking in my kitchen today:

B: Superfruit Smoothy

L: Raw beet hummus on sprouted quinoa

D: Nori rolls with jicama/cashew rice and wasabi-ginger dipping sauce.

Superfruit Smoothy

In a high speed blender add the following:

1 handful of organic kale

1/2 cup of organic frozen super fruit blend containing blueberries, blackberries, and dark sweet cherries

1/2-1 tsp chopped ginger

2 C almond mylk

For an added energy boost add some maca powder (optional of course)

Blend until smooth and enjoy!  

Raw Beet Hummus

In a high speed blender add the following:

1 cubed medium organic beet (approximately 1.5 cups)

1 clove garlic

1/2 tsp Himalayan salt

2 heaping tablespoons of organic raw tahini

Pulse until smooth adding filtered water as required.  Do not add water until required or else it will come out a bit soupy just like mine did today.
