Birthday Planning, Veggie Eating

Hey Sproutlets! I hope you are all having a great week! Yesterday was two weeks without grains and beans, still going strong! It will take some time to know if I am healing, but I have high hopes that this is the answer.

Friday is T's birthday and next Friday is mine! Yippy! Yay for Aquarians! ;) Not sure the plan yet, we are expecting a big snow storm Friday, I am hoping it doesn't happen as much as we need a good snow storm..

On Sunday, we took a little trip to a Asana House Cafe to grab lunch. I had a big raw salad that had cucumbers, avocados, sprouts, peppers, carrots, red onion and tomato on it.

I also had a green juice that was pretty strong. Don't mind my chipped polish! ;)

For dinner I made my "Vegan Eggplant No-Parm" but I left off the breadcrumbs and used cashew "cheese" (cashews, nutritional yeast, garlic, basil, water, sea salt in the food processor). Turned out really good! Didn't need the breadcrumbs at all!

I made another batch of Kristen's Raw Vegan Coconut Milk Yogurt and Little A had some for breakfast one morning. I added raisins, blueberries and Manuka honey. She LOVED it!

After asking a few people what I could eat to feel more "fulfilled" on a mostly raw diet, I was told Green Soup was the answer. So I blended dill, parsley, celery, romaine, cashews, mustard, nutritional yeast, cayenne, turmeric, garlic and a Bubbies Pickle (for some flavor and salt). Topped it with some raw kimchi and flax crackers. They were right!! AMAZING!!! I felt so soothed and sustained all afternoon. I've been having it for lunch daily now. There are so many different combos and things you can add. I let it blend in the Vitamix for a few minutes so it gets a little warm. Little A enjoys it too!

Have a great day! XO

The soup sounds good! I will have to try it sometime. I forget that the Vitamix can heat up for a soup! Such an amazing machine.
