Ode to a Green Smoothie

Oh Green Smoothie, how do I love thee?
Let me count the ways…

I love the idea that I just sucked up 2 bananas, 3 strawberries and a few handfuls of Kale and Spinach through a straw lol

I may actually write an Ode to a Green Smoothie. Hmm.

So far so good- Day 3 Raw

Having fun eating raw. I don’t think I  going to do official weigh-ins but after 3 days I have lost 6 lbs. I feel good. I had a Bean Recipe Fail because I thought i could just soak some dryed beans and make a nice salad but it turns out some beans are toxic and can’t be eaten raw and also the beans are still very hard after soaking. Research is key lol  I am thinking about adding canned beans to my diet. They are not raw because they have been heated before canning but I would just rinse and use them without further cooking. I will probably settle somewhere around a 90-95% raw diet. we’ll see. i read anywhere over 75% is good. So far i’ve been 100% but i don’t want to be too strict or obsessive.

ok, on to the menu:

Breakfast
2 bananas

Lunch
Salad: Romaine lettuce with 1/2 avocado & 1 small yellow onion, olive oil, balsamic vinegar and a bit of sea salt.  This salad was unbelievable!!

Dinner
Green Smoothie (spinach, banana, 6 strawberries, water)

Snacks
3 red plums
green grapes
watermelon

Goals for tomorrow: start using the Brita filter (i’m too lazy to fill it!!) Buy ice for smoothies, try Tai Chi video from library before it’s due
