Day #19 Raw Food Journey 2014

Today is day #19 in my 2014 Raw food journey and I made "mock" raw tacos with orange slices and cucumbers on the side. I also made a spicy dressing to pour over the tacos. Each taco consisted of marinated mushrooms, kosher pickles, shredded carrots, sliced tomato and alfalfa sprouts. I also made a smoothie to drink with my meal. The smoothie was made with fresh mango, banana, black berries, and orange juice.
Check out a few pics I took during the preparation.

Ingredients for "mock" raw tacos:

romaine lettuce

alfalfa sprouts

marinated mushrooms

Kosher pickles

tomatoes

Preparing the "mock" raw tacos. All ingredients are raw with the exception of the pickles. The alfalfa sprouts were sprouted in my kitchen and took approx. 5 days to complete. That's from soaking the seeds to having them ready for eating or juicing. Not too bad when you consider that finding them in a grocery story right now would cost you a small fortune and even then, you cannot be sure how fresh they really are when you purchase them at your local grocery store.

Day #12 Raw Food and Fitness Journey 2014

Day #11 Raw Food Journey 2014

On day #11 I really wanted to create a wonderful tasting dessert but did not have all the ingredients. I also wished that I had already completed several more days of the journey. I will continue on and keep posting. One day I will look back at this blog and think how easy things have become.

Day #10 Raw Food Journey 2014

On Day #10 of my Raw Food Journey, I made a mock pasta salad. It had chopped cucumbers, shredded carrots chopped tomatoes, and spiralized zucchini. I had a raw nut mix for a snack and the last of my raw soup for lunch. I used my raw salad dressing to pour over the top of the pasta salad.

Day #8 Raw Food Journey 2014

On Day #8 of my raw journey I also began my first day back to school. For breakfast I had a smoothie. For lunch I had an apple. I snacked on some #raw treats that I had completed a couple of days ago. For dinner I had a salad with carrots, roman lettuce, and cukes. I almost didn't want to eat because things were so busy. I thought it was best that I did eat something or else later that evening I would regret it.

Day #9 Raw Food Journey 2014

Today is the 9th day of my Raw food journey and I feel as if I am almost fully adjusted to eating this way. I had a dream the other night that I took a bite of a Cheese burger and then threw it against a white wall when I realized I had broken my raw food pact (lol). I am so focussed on seeing the results that I don't dare make any changes right now. I ate a banana for breakfast and an apple for lunch. I am having a raw soup and raw crackers for dinner. If I get hungry later, I will have a salad. I am going g to the gym tonight with my trainer (Husband) to work on conditioning.

Kale Chips | Raw. Vegan. Not Gross.

Kale chips are an amazingly tasty treat. I make them a lot but I haven't added such tasty looking ingredients as seen in the video below. I will have to try this.  I add them to soups and salads (see pic). I also snack on these and sneak them into the movies instead of eating the overly salted popcorn.
