My fellow yogi and I are going raw for 7 days. I'll let you know how it goes. I've tried it many times before, but found it very difficult living in a small town with no raw food restaurants. It takes a lot of preparation and forethought. You really must go shopping to fill your house with good choices ahead of time, or hunger and grumpiness (ok, that's putting it mildly) can overtake your best intentions. This morning, having done neither of those things, I threw together a smoothie with coconut milk, raw almond butter, blueberries, banana, algae powder, and a splash of orange-pineapple juice. OMGEE! Delicious! So I'm off to a good start. Oh yeah, I forgot about the tea I had earlier. It was an honest mistake, as there are mixed messages online regarding the subject of tea being raw, and how hot the water can be. So I overheated the water, and the chai was probably baked, but I will be more careful tomorrow:-)
White tea, heated to no more than 118 degrees. I can do that.
I also took some cookie dough out of the freezer without thinking about it. So I guess I will be eating that raw later. (Sorry kids)
I'm going to save on the gas bill this month, that's for sure.
Not sure what's for lunch, probably just yoga. It does taste good, you know ;-D
Confessions of a baker... lol..... I too tried to go RAW in Maui... I did it for about a week... felt great... and I am sure it was healthy... but as a lifetime I am not sure, no.. I am definitely sure I can't do it... but even doing a little something good with yield good results.. N'cest pas?
