More raw, less processed/cooked. I did some research and was surprised to see how much nutrition is lost by that simple act of cooking! That's where the smoothie idea came in (and if you do pursue that, drink them within a day or two of making)

Very good point, Linus. Do you have a favorite smoothie recipe that you like to have a lot?

Yup. Very simple:
A handful of baby spinach A handful or two of chard A mango (without skin/seed) An apple (whole, seeds and all) A banana (without peel) 8-10 strawberries (including top) 2-3 cups of water, depending on how liquidy you want it. I've used frozen for some fruit when not in season. Blend the crap out of it (this is where spending on a decent blender can go a long way -- we got a Vitamix Blender for this and it's worth every penny). Enjoy. ![]()

I'll give credit that I wasn't that creative to make it out of my own noggin'. The recipe comes from Victoria Boutenko's Green Smoothie Revolution (you can find her books here) She's a huge green smoothie advocate. Although I found some of her writing style odd (I don't how to explain it but it felt "preachy" I found the recipes worthwhile). The more I learn about raw vegan, the more it makes sense.
Now that said, I don't think I could do 100% raw vegan largely because of travel and such (I end up in some of the oddest places and plain salad non-stop in the winter can be a downer for me -- sometimes a good veggie soup does wonders). But aiming for any kind of raw vegan in one's diet is better than none IMO. I'm trying to get to 60-80% when at home and possibly, even on the road (especially in North America in the larger cities -- when I go overseas and such, it'll depend on the area).

The more raw vegan the better. I couldn't agree more, and your information is very helpful. This thread helps me get out of my usual routine and learn new ways to live veg! Thanks!

I also posted this on my other fav thread "What are you having for dinner tonight?"
spinach parsley cilantro ginger celery apple lemon delicious refreshing This way of nourishing my body is compelling me to make other changes as well. Coffee may be a thing of the past, it doesn't taste as good anymore cigar smoking? This weekend will be having green juices only no cooked food I want to see and feel where this takes me not only physically but emotionally, mentally, and spiritually as well. So many changes within myself already the green juices are enhancing my running with my mind clearer my body lighter I at times feel like I'm not running at all. That's it for me this evening. Have a great weekend everyone, Greco |
