Another raw food detox diet day. I’m feeling a bit different than normally. Definitely not with high energy or anything. No big changes have arose though.
Here is what I ate for breakfast:
Juice made from 3 grapefruits, 3 oranges, 1 pomegranate, some lemon and 2 tablespoons of flax seed
This is an amazing raw food recipe. Very cleanse effects, great energy booster and tasty! I never ate pomegranate before and it has an interesting, kind of sour taste. It goes well with more sweet orange and more sour grapefruit. Flax seed is a great source for fat so I added it as a bonus.
Lunch:
Mixed salad containing tomato, cucumber, radishes, flax oil, mixed herbs and other
Big bowl of blackcurrants
8 dried prunes
Really good meal. Mixed salad tasted much better with flax oil and some herbs. I found out some mixed herbs for salad in a store the other day and it changes the taste quite significantly. I never ate blackcurrants alone, most times I ate it with sugar and other things. Blackcurrant is extremely healthy (similar to blackberries) and can taste a bit sour. If you eat more it will taste much better as you get used to the taste. At the end I ate some dried prunes that were really sweet in comparison to blackcurrants. I felt really energized after this raw food meal.
Snacks:
1 big honeydew melon
Small mixed salad with kale, spinach, darker salad with some herbs and oil
Honeydew melon is very sweet. After eating the whole one it was too much sweet for me. I wasn’t that hungry during this time so I ate a bit of a mixed salad for some greens.
Dinner:
Large salad containing 80% green-leafed vegetables, 20 almonds and walnuts, onions and lemon squeezed as dressing, plus some flax oil and herbs
Big green salads are not of my favorite but almonds and walnuts gave a really unique taste. Onion can be also a very nice addition for a better taste.
That’s day 4 of my raw food detox diet. Recently I looked around some recipes for raw food online and I found few interesting websites that have recipes with pictures:
- We Like It Raw – I found here some really tasty looking raw food recipes, desserts and even tortillas!
- Gone Raw – One of the best websites with delicious recipes. What’s cool about this is that everyone here can share his own recipe. You will find a big diversity of different recipes. Check out Berry Cream Cups, that looks yummy!
- Raw Food Recipes – That’s my favorite website. It has very original raw food detox diet recipes for fruit dishes, snacks, salads, cookies, crackers and even sauces and salad dressings.
What I found out after surfing through these websites is that a lot of recipes had an ingredient called ‘Himalayan rock salt’. What I discovered is that it can be a great addition for salads and it’s a much healthier solution than a standard salt. This salt come from Pakistan and has a red or pink color. What makes this salt unique in comparison to a table salt is that it’s not refined and it comes from a natural state. It also doesn’t have any environmental pollution. I will definitely try it out.
