That’s my 7th day on raw food detox diet and I feel a bit weaker than usually. Maybe it’s also because of the high temperature right now. Anyway I tried some new raw food recipes and got few more things I would like to share.
Here is what I ate for breakfast:
2 kiwi
1/4 green melon
1 banana
1/4 grapefruit
1/4 orange
some watermelon
That was quite a refreshing breakfast. A variety of tasty, mostly sweet fruits. I cut each fruit in squares and put in a big bowl. Diversity in your raw food diet can be a key. I found out that the meal can be much tastier if I just add more ingredients that have different tastes. Banana, kiwi and orange is an amazing combination. Watermelon goes well with mango, melons and any citrus fruits. Grapefruit was a bit bitter for me, I’m going to use it only for smoothies.
Lunch:
Salad containing kale, spinach, cabbage, tomato, cucumber, onion, yellow pepper, flax seed oil, walnuts
2 slices of essene bread
The sauce was pretty good. I would add a bit more spice as it tastes mostly just like a tomato. Essene bread is a great replacement for a standard bread. Essene bread is one of the most nutritious bread there is made from sprouted grain. It doesn’t contain a flour and other chemicals used in natural bread. It’s not cooked either. I bought it in a store but you can also make it on your won, here is how. You can read more about essene bread here. Lately I experienced some cravings for bread. The essene bread did not eliminate my cravings as it’s a bit different, different taste and I guess with no ingredients that I’m ‘craving’. It didn’t feel like a real bread and I’m curious why is that so. All in all essene bread tastes pretty good but differently than a normal bread.
Snacks:
Fruit salad containing kiwi, banana, orange, watermelon, honeydew melon, walnuts
That was an wesome fruit salad. Be careful with mixing a lot of different fruits. Some say that your digestion system may not like a big variety of fruits eaten in a one meal. If that’s the case you may wait few weeks or months until your digestion system will be stronger. Introducing 1 or 2 fruits at the beginning is a good start.
Dinner:
Large salad containing kale, spinach, tomato, cucumber, radishes, basil, flax seed oil
2 slices of essene bread
Dark tomato sauce
That was a pretty tasty dinner. I’m going to work on getting a bit more spicy sauces but I’m pretty satisfied with this meal.
In next week I want to customize this raw food detox diet and pick up the best recipes I found so far. I will experiment with new recipes too and share it here. I still see a lower performance in my exercises etc so I guess I’m still in a detoxification process. It’s not really that strong as some people experience. Sometimes during the day I can get very sleepy and just can’t do anything. It’s pretty weird as I’m sleeping over 10h a day.
