Going RAW Again


I found this site that has a recipe I am going to try this weekend, considering I have all the ingredients already. It is raw wrap and can be found at the web site for Team Organic NYC. I am going to soak my chickpeas tonight so they will sprout. It takes about 48 hours, so I should be ready to enjoy them for a nice Sunday lunch. Can't wait!

Tonight I had a salad and a green juice (spinach/celery/apple/carrots/lemon/tomato). I actually like it without the apple and lemon. It was refreshing and so earthy. But very delicious and has a BEAUTIFUL green color from the spinach. I should have taken a picture of it. Here is one that has that striking green color that mine did.

Its time for me to up my raw intake. My body is yearning to be clean. I can feel that I am not a 100%. I know what I need to do, just got to do it. It truely isn't hard to eat raw when you have the right support system. Initially I was at odds with my husband who is a red meat eater and rarely eats a vegetable raw or cooked. Alas all I can do is lead by example ;). My son however instinctively enjoys his veggies and fruit. He snatched a vegan sandwhich I was eating from me (to my surprise and delight). I should probably be following his lead :).

Luckily, my brother is also vegetarian, not quite a raw vegan, but vegetarian and he loves the juices too.
