RawFu GEM! And a giveaway!

*******THIS GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED*******


I was so ecstatic yesterday when I got my first issue of RawFu magazine in the mail! This beautiful, inspiring, heartfelt magazine really made my day! The hard effort and work that went into it was well worth it. If you aren't already a subscriber I suggest you get your booty over here and do so now! It's well worth every penny. Positivity pours off of the pages from all the energy that went into this gem!

I am feeling really amazing right now. I had the most amazing high raw day yesterday and I am so excited to keep it up. My number one priority right now is my health. The best way to treat my body is with living fresh green juice! This was romaine, apple, lemon. My favorite combo as of right now!
Last night for dinner I made a cucumber, tomato, sprout, avocado salad. I added some Parma, olive oil and a little Miso Mayo. It turned out creamy and delicious!
I also had a Sunshine Burger (I am soooooo hooked!) on a romaine wrap with sprouts, tomato, onion, mustard, Real Pickles Sauerkraut, and avocado. Along side I lightly sauteed some zucchini I had hanging around in the fridge. They were really tender and tasty.
This morning I did myself well again and made a big cantaloupe, banana, green powder, bee pollen, pro biotic smoothie. I love cantaloupe with frothy bananas! This was like a dream!
I am currently addicted to so many yummy products and meals.
Here's my list:
*Raw Sauerkraut
*Parma (raw, cheese substitute)
*Olives (especially Kalamata)
*Sunshine Burgers
*Green Juice
What are you currently hooked on? Post your list and a link to this post on your blog (if you don't have a blog just post your list in the comments) and come back here and let me know and I will enter you in a giveaway by MOI! :) I will randomly pick a winner from the names by using Random.org. What will you get? Not sure yet, I think I will pick up a couple of vegan and raw goodies at the health food store this weekend and surprise you! *
This contest will end May 13th. I will announce the winner on May 14th.
*Sorry I can only ship within the United States. Please only enter if you live in the US!
Thanks!!

Mangoes! I LOVE them!
Campari Tomatoes--they taste like real tomatoes, not like the plastic-y pink ones that they gas to turn red and have NO flavor at all because they are not really ripe.

Hey, romaine, apple (Fuji, please) and lemon is one of my fave juices too!

Are you going to Kris Carr's event at Urban Zen on Saturday? Guess what she's going to be talking about? JUICING. I think colonics too. Two things I'm hooked on! :D

Since I'm nowhere near NYC, why don't you go, report back and I can live vicariously through you.
