Today and Yesterday I ate;

Sunday-

1.5 liters of water

Carrot-kale juice

Shredded heirloom lettuce, avocado and chopped red bell pepper

with an orange juice/red habanero pepper/celery/cherry tomato sauce

Monday-

1.5 liters of water

Oranges

Pears

Shredded heirloom lettuce, avocado and chopped red onion

with an Orange-Red Pepper Sauce* (<--This sauce is awesome! I make it with fresh organic oranges. I juice a couple by hand, then add the juice to the vitamix along with a whole sweet red bell pepper and a 1/4 hot red habanero pepper. Becareful not to use too much hot pepper, it's really hot. You can also make it with out the hot pepper. Just use the sweet ones. )

As fruity as it gets..

Well, I just want to post a little "heads-up" for everyone. Starting today I am getting serious about being mostly fruit.  (You are what you eat!) This includes all sweet, acid and non-sweet fruits. Examples are; olives, tomatoes, zucchini, berries, nuts, seeds, sprouted seeds like sunflower sprouts, avocados, durian, melons, cucumbers, pineapples, peppers, plums, etc.. 

I will stay on the low-fat raw vegan side. Not necessarily 80/10/10, but something close. It might be more, it might be less, it will be whatever feels best. I will include lots of fresh leafy greens and lettuces everyday. Celery smoothies and fresh vegetable juices are really good for me. I might bring in some sea veggies or root veggies too on occasion. 

This means I will have to get creative or really simple. I've always liked a salty-fatty salad dressing. I adore avocados, coconut and durian. I could eat them everyday. Finding a new rhythm in my eating habits and in the kitchen will take some work. New fruitier recipes or simply eating fruit. We will see what is in store for me this year. 

I will be blogging what I eat everyday (if possible). If any of you have a fruit to share or a low-fat vegan recipe, please share it with me. You can post a comment. Your support would feel wonderful and make this journey more fun.

Sending you sunshine, happiness and love!

Today I ate;

Plantain and cilantro smoothie

Bok choy and banana smoothie

Celery and banana smoothie

2 Oranges

Soaked organic figs

(I exercised too; 20 minutes of running and 50 minutes of power walking)

Today I ate;

1 liter of smoothie (avocado/lemon/water/raw honey)

The juice of small grapefruits (I had LOTS. -Really good!)

Avocado with dulse and cayenne on lettuce leaves

Puree of apple/banana/cinnamon

32oz of lemon water

1.5 liters of plain water

(I exercised too; 40 minutes of walking and 90 minutes of yoga)

I'm not too happy with my current diet. Too much avocado, coconut oil, spices and salty things. Sometimes the produce I can get easily is not ripe (or not good) so I have been making 'less than great' choices. It's winter in NYC, so I don't have a great selection of fruits to choose from right now. But this week I will move towards more green smoothies, vegetable juices and home-made lemonades. There is no reason why I can't have more liquids in my diet till better weather and better fruit comes along. ~NO EXCUSES!
