Nothing really changed from yesterday. First week of my ‘easy’ raw food detox diet is coming to an end. I found a lot of interesting recipes for meals, bread, sauces that I’m going to use. But first let’s go into my meals.
Breakfast:
1 big green melon
Half of avocado
Green melon is pretty similar in taste to a honeydew melon. It’s almost as sweet as a yellow melon. I’m thinking into changing avocado to other source of fat. Avocado doesn’t taste that good
Mixing it with smoothies or salads is the only way to go.
Lunch:
1 cup of wheatgrass juice with 2 apples and 2 tablespoons of coconut oil
Mixing wheatgrass with apples can definitely help to reduce the wheatgrass intense aroma. Wheatgrass is a famous superfood in raw food community and it has a lot of benefits on your health. This meal totally filled me up although it seems like not a lot.
Snacks:
2 apples
15 almonds
Simple snack, enough to feel full. Apples goes well with any nuts, almonds are one of my favorite.
Dinner:
Large salad with kale, spinach, tomato, cherry tomatoes, celery, 2 tablespoons of flax seed oil, basil and parsley leaves
Salad dressing consisting of: 1 big tomato, half of lemon, 2 cloves of garlic, tablespoon of oil, handful of fresh basil leaves, handful of fresh parsley leaves, a pinch of stone salt
That’s the first time I did a dressing for myself. It may be more difficult to do a salad dressing all with raw food and without any diary ingredients. Still I found dozens of amazing dressing recipes online. I tried Tomato and basil salad dressing and it tasted really good. It has quite moderate, a bit spicy taste that will transform the taste of bitter salads. I added a bit too much of olive so it wasn’t the same as in the picture. I’m going to experiment with more salad dressings in the future.
One of the things I discovered are flax crackers. Flax crackers are made from a flax seed with some lemon and water. The thing you will need in order to make crackers is a dehydrator. Dehydrator can make any food dried, from vegetable, fruits and mushrooms. The price for a dehydrator goes from $50 to $500. You can go on Amazon and see the reviews of top selling products. I’m planning to buy some cheaper dehydrator as I would really like to add some bread, crackers with the salads. Bread is quite addictive food and even though I didn’t eat it for 6 days I’m still thinking about eating it. Being raw foodist you can make a bread from sprouts too. The example can be an italian bread.
