Here is my quick update on day 18 of my raw food detox diet. I wasn’t updating this blog daily as not many new things really happened. I’m feeling better than before, more energy and better form in exercises. The cravings for food like bread and cheese started to vanish. I established my own raw food diet based on my taste and preferences.
Here is what I eat now on breakfast:
‘Elixir of Life’ Smoothie
- 2 bananas
- 2 kiwis
- blueberries
- 1 peach
- 2 teaspoons of spirulina
- 2 teaspoons of chlorella
- handful of cacao beans (optional)
- 2 tablespoons of coconut oil
- 2 big handfuls of spinach
- 1 cup of water
This smoothie is absolutely awesome and tastes delicious. Bananas eliminate the taste of superfoods like spirulina and chlorella. Additionally sour kiwis goes well with more sweet blueberries and peach. Cacao beans can be a nice extra kick to this smoothie but don’t add too much of it or it will become bitter. I would balance cacao beans with some natural sweetener like raw honey or agava nectar. At the end I’m adding some coconut oil for fat and spinach because greens are always good 
From my experience this smoothie will give you a very nice energy boost and kick in the morning. It’s good especially after an intense workout. It’s over a liter of high quality, high nutritious green smoothie that has sweet fruits, fats, green vegetables and superfoods with a lot of protein. Perfect post-workout smoothie for me!
Lunch:
Big salad containing green salads, cabbages, spinach, tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, radish and other with dressing
Dressing containing olive oil, half of squeezed fresh orange, parsley, other herbs, stone salt, cayenne pepper
Snack:
30 minutes before snack 1 shot of wheatgrass (every other day)
1 big bowl of fruits like banana, kiwi, peach, blueberries, raspberries, watermelon and other + some nuts or goji berries
Dinner:
Big salad containing green salads, cabbages, spinach, tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, radish and other with dressing
Dressing containing olive oil, half of squeezed fresh orange, parsley, other herbs, stone salt, cayenne pepper
So that’s my detox diet. I try to change green vegetables and fruits on each meal every day as diversity is always good. I think that’s quite balanced live food diet. It contains enough fats from olive oil, coconut oil and nuts in almost every meal. Also you can see the pattern that I eat fruit-green-fruit-green in my 4 meals. I started to shift to more greens and salads as it’s much more important than sweet fruits.
Smoothie in the morning has a good balance in terms of fats-green vegetables-sweet fruits. Lunch is all green vegetables and fat. Snack is all fruits and some fat. Dinner is all green vegetables and fats. I’m thinking into doing some only vegetable smoothies and introducing more smoothies into my raw food detox diet. I really see a big difference from the time I introduced this morning smoothie. The digestion is really easy and you feel the difference right away.
