Rawkin' OUT!

Hello Gorgeous Daffodil's!

This week I plan on kicking it up a notch with the cleanse. I thought I did well last week but I found out I was eating some high GI fruits and to many Lara bars! This week I am going to try to keep it simple. Juice, green smoothies, salads, and a few cooked meals.

I am attending the Beam Green meeting on Wednesday night in NYC, where I am going to meet my friend Gena for the first time! So exciting!

I am going to wait until my actual anniversary with T on Tuesday to post all of the Candle79 yummies! So be sure to come back and check that out!

Here's a kale salad I made on Thursday night for dinner. It has red cabbage, avocado, sprouts, Parma, and olive oil in it. I haven't had a kale salad in awhile because my stomach couldn't handle it, but I felt fine after this! Yay!
This is another salad I made for lunch on Friday. Mesclun lettuce with avocado, cucumbers, and olives. I dressed it with Parma, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and stone ground mustard.
I picked up some un-toasted nori sheets at Whole Foods this week to made wraps for lunch. On Saturday afternoon I made this one with sprouts, raw kraut, sun dried tomatoes, and cucumbers.
Here it is all wrapped up! So good, you'll never miss the bread! One sheet has only 10 calories, imagine all the calories I saved! So nutritious as well, nori is rich in calcium, zinc, and iodine. Just make sure you buy the un-toasted kind, otherwise it's not considered raw.
Have a wonderful Sunday! Again, my Candle79 post will be on Tuesday. Check back for some delicious raw food!
