Crunch, Crunch, Slurp, Slurp

I've been eating a lot more raw these days. Seems like I am "over" being cold and eating salad puts my mind in Spring mode. Although today was sleet and rain all day!

The other night I made a big salad and added some marinated tofu. I have been craving tofu more lately. I don't like to eat a lot of it because of the whole soy being controversial thing.. but once in a while I do enjoy it! Also in this salad: sun dried tomatoes, olives, avocado, sprouts, and cooked sugar snap peas.
Here's a juice from earlier in the week: pineapple, collards, lemon, ginger.
And here's one from today: Kale, Apple, Pineapple, Lemon, Ginger
Along with my juice I made a sprout salad. I used crunchy and alfalfa sprouts, sun dried tomatoes, cucumber, avocado, kale, lemon juice and olive oil. So tasty!
Tonight for dinner I made Wendy's Chopped Cauliflower Salad from the Renegade Health Show. I added avocado and didn't use radishes. This was super yummy! T kept going back for more. I have some left..can't wait for lunch tomorrow!! I think I will roll it up in cabbage and collard leaves..yum! I suggest making this if you want something raw besides a regular salad.
Okay I am off to hit the treadmill (my second workout of the day!). Feeling good is so wonderful!! :) I am truly blessed!

I have no idea how companies find me; they just send me emails asking if I want to sample their products and write a review. Maybe they see a review I've done for another company, and it gets them thinking?

Lovin sprouts!
There is so much controversy over soy but in my readings from a few doctors it seems that tofu & soymilks are fine, it's the processed soy products, such as the faux meats and such. It makes sense. The more processed the more harmful anything is and they also have a high sodium content. I've actually had this discussion with my husband and asked him why there isn't as much controversy over eating animal products, I mean, those products cause heart disease, stroke, high cholestrol, etc. Again, it's the vegetarian way that gets hit.

Oh yum! I've been on such a cauliflower kick lately! Wonderful pics!

@dreaminitvegan — tofu and soymilk are highly processed foods. Whole soybeans, or edamame, are unprocessed. :D
