Banana boring??? Never May! Hope it was a good ol' spotty skinned sweet one!

Hehehe.  Nooooo, yukky spots.  I like 'em only just past the green tipped stage :)

I had homemade buckwheat crackers for dinner with avocado, tomato and mushroom.  Not very 811 but I've been struggling with that lately so just happy to be raw.

right now I'm just drinkin' some lemonwater, I've really gotten into that lately, isn't it weird that just water and lemon can taste that good!!  :laugh:

Earlier....mushrooms stuffed with avo pesto & d'dried tom sauce

Not the best to follow with juicy fruits but...

2 massive custard apples!mmmm

A packet of chia seed mexican crackers from raw stand at Vegan Expo....

Fresh Dandelion leaves! I went to the organic markets at Miami this morning (I rocked up late at 10am - sorry I missed you Jen!) and they had huge bunches of freshly picked dandelion greens!!! This is the highlight of my day today! I would have loved to have seen the plant they got from them from - massive! (yes, I'm in herbal heaven) So I bought a heap and have been munching  on them all day. I also bought an absolutely divine living chocolate crackle slice from the living foods cafe there..and scoffed it in record time. :laugh:

"the gods created certain kinds of beings to replenish our bodies.... they are the trees and the plants and the seeds"

Celery and bananas with a Cacao cream salsa(Cacao nibs, germinated almonds and honey), an altogether delightful dish inspired by the lovely May and Freedom!

Blessings,

Garfieldxx  :yahh: :ph34r: :ohyeah:  :)

Today I ate watermelon with lemon/lime juice squeezed over it all day! I'm starving now but don't want to eat just before bed. It's not comfy lying down with a belly full!

xoxoxo

YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY! I do love watermelon (dark green with the seeds) it's got to be my all time favourite fruit ever.

Excellent choice( and a excellent source of lycopene too)!

I just thought I share this recipe with all you lovely plp!

Feel Good Mexican Chilli

Grind Cacao nibs(approx 100g) with chilli pwd to a fine pwd. Add s / d tomatoes(little), 100g org almonds(germinated), handful of soaked sunflower seeds, hemp seeds and raw carrot. Process and serve with raw spinach or f / l parsley.

I was feeling a little pre-menstrual today and the chilli / cacoa combo cheered me up, hence the name!

BON APPETITO!   

Lemon Sherbet Surprize( reminiscent of lemon sherbet of by gone days / childhood) A light, zesty and refreshing dessert to cleanse the palate. For those with a ardent and profound 'sweet-tooth' please feel free to adapt the recipe by adding more medjool dates; the good thing about this recipe is there is no waste as you use the nutritious pith too(valuable source of bioflavonoids).

3 organic and unwaxed lemons(zest and pith, all except seeds)
3 ripe avocadoes
6 medjool dates* see note above and adjust according to personal preference

This dish offers just a hint of sweetness*, vitamins c and e and good fats from the avacadoes.

Adapted from a Gillian Mc Keith recipe

BON APITITO! 

I need someone to uncook for me, I really do!  And I nominate... Garfield!!! :yahh:  Your recipes are so different, yet sound so yummmm.  That Feel Good Mexican Chilli sounds particularly intrigueing.

I'm eating my current favourite, chopped bananas and strawberries in a bowl with a little agave drizzled over.

Love
May

It would be a pleasure and sheer privilege to uncook for you beautiful May(anytime sweetie)!

I feel blessed as hubby really loved the 'feel -good chilli' as he's a junk-food addict veggie(Pizza Hut).

The light and yet refreshing dessert went down well too.

I've been munching on Granny Smith apples and germinated almonds, YUM!

You're fruity meal sounds yummy(nice combo berries and nana)! 

Yum Garfield, you are quite the uncook!

Just munched down 6 juicy lemonades...

Earlier had a picnic with Steveabe and we had swiss brown mushies topped with date, peruvian olives, cherry toms and iceberg lettuce...nice combo & the mushies were so juicy

Having raw zucchini spaghetti with marinara sauce. old fav

Mmm, slurping a big gs, so simple - just nanas, 1/2 a date, some beet leaves and a splash of water. Yum Yum!

THANK-YOU Freelearaw(Really enjoy creating nice things)! the lemonades sounds really cool and refreshing!

Chocolate brownie( it's really carob) and macadamia nuts, I craved something RICH and now I'm craving GREENS!

I have just finished my glass of water with 'braggs' Vinegar with honey in it. I have this 1 hour before every meal. I dont know if it is doing anything but hay Braggs says it does.

THen I will be eating Bananas bananas bananas that is what I feel like today.

I now feel really sick, stuffed and bloated. Let's hope I make it through the night without bumping into my mate Ralph !!!

.

Yet again, I am drinking the beautiful Heaven in a Glass smoothie of mango, banana, orange   mmmmmmm!

It was absolutely gorgeous going down, but not so nice coming back up at 4am this morning! 

%)

I am feeling ashamed and sorry for myself today and only have myself to blame.

RawNaturopathJen, the Heaven in a Glass smoothie sounds like a great raw cure, I think I’ll join you.

Ah don't worry KittyKat, we all fall off the wagon at some stage! My whole life has been up & down like that but I now realise that everyone's life is like that & it may sound like a cliche but it will make u stonger, you are heading in the right direction that's all that matters, as AR would say 'your past doesn't equal your future' and the decision u make right now in this moment is what matters.... if I didn't have those slips ups I wouldn't be where I am now, happy & energetic, that thought always comforts me :-)....

veg juice strained and diluted with pure water

beetroot
silverbeet
celery
pear
apple
cucumber

veddy veddy good!

Hey Suay, what's the theory behind diluting your juices?  Is it to slow the rate of absorbtion or what?

Oh, and I'm currently munching on much the same as I was last night except without the iceburg and alfalfa sprouts.

nothing that scientific im afraid....  :uhuh:...it just doesnt taste as strong..esp vege juices,and doesnt give me an acid belly ever when i dilute it...i did read long ago the reasons for diluting,but cant recall now..

how are you doing anyway buddy?

I've had a couple of slip ups but I'm over that now.  No way will I be tempted to eat cooked when all the Summer fruits start rolling in.  I've re-learned that every action begins with a thought so if I'm not thinking about cooked food it's easier to keep off it.  Have been giving the low fat approach a go and loving the increased energy.  I've started doing a bit of weight training since getting kicked off the ship I was on for being too skinny.  Don't know if I've gained any weight yet but it's early days...

Thank you Steveabe for pointing out the above. I hadn't thought about applying this kind of reasoning to my eating. Many years ago I suffered from severe anxiety atacks. I only recovered once I realised every anxiety attack began with a thought only minutes before. It then became easier to deal with the thought and therefore the panic attack.
Cheers
OM

Yes, my slip up happened because I went into a shop to buy some oil. When I was in there I saw their tarts and chocolates. After buying the tarts and chocolates, I walked past a wine shop................and the rest is history!

Juicy watermelon...juice currently dribbling down my front :-D

New fave salad, sliced grapes with shredded mint... tastes like lollies! Wum.

xoxoxox

Mmmm, pizza... cashew/macadamia 'cheese', tomato sauce, dried tomatoes and flat leaf parsley with apple slices as the pizza base. Awesomeness!  :yahh:

Oh Freedom! You make some awesome combos. I will definitely try that sometime soon. I've used capsicum before as a base.


At the moment I am drinking a GS of silverbeet, cos, pawpaw, gold kiwifruit, water. It feels really heavy in my tummy but tasty.  

A gorgeous salad of cos lettuce, coriander, semi dried tomatoes (I dried), sunflower sprouts, cucumber with a dressing of: juice of one orange and half a lemon, salt, freshly ground black pepper, garlic and a teeny tiny amount of olive oil. Mmmm. And pinenuts as inspired by photos BB posted awhile back. Sooooo tasty. I might have to make another.

Kwor!!!

Just ran to the organic shop for my dinner.  Had 2 rockmelons, 5 mangoes and about 12 bananas.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm how were the mangos Steve?

A bit sour but still ok.  I actually wanted just watermelon but the only one they had was seedless and I'm not really a fan of seedless watermelon.

damn...yeh they arent very good start of season i find...we will ease into the lush ones later one..

ohh i dont like seedless melon either Steve.....had some choice melon yesterday..then i bought a large one for dinner from the org shop...and it was sour and awful...guess that 22$ will go towards something else next time i go...i get looked after there well..the good thing about being a regular customer!lol

I am about to have a salad as I am finally hungry now. Lettuce, tomato, red cap, cuc, mixed bean sprouts, carrot, corn, lil bit o' olive oil & balsam vinegar.

I felt kinda funny peeling it and even more funny as I ate it, I could barely get my mouth round the thing!  It took like 5 minutes to eat but now Im full  :laugh:

That salad sounds yummy. Enjoy!

Hahaha :laugh: , I often chop up my narnas and eat them piece by piece, esp. if they are huge.

Granny Smith's apples um, juicy!

Green smoothie with 4 pears, bok choy, bean sprouts and water. Not my best creation but def not the worst either!

how are you? and the wee one?

Im okay thanks!

Keeping a low profile these days,...  the computer and reading of forums can zap too much time!

Only about 9 weeks to go til bub is born, cant wait. Starting to feel very very big indeed. Im getting much bigger week to week. I havent had a good nights sleep in months though, that sucks! Getting more uncomfortable in bed, with no good position to lie in,.. and a bit of reflux at night, as she is growing and pushing upwards. Other than that, Im good. Im working for another 3 weeks, then Im on extended maternity leave for 6-12 months.

Enjoying my rockmelons, green juices, kale salads, new season stone fruits and mangoes, and celery etc. Have been having a bit of chocolate though! Naughty! (its a pity raw chocolate keeps me awake and give me heart palpitations).

X  X

Just had half a rockmelon, one of my kitties ate some too :)

Will have a mango in a lil while

last meal of the day...

pudding blend
bananas and papaya

bit later peeled cucumber..mmmmmmmmmmmm

Just had 2 yummy mangoes been raw all day so far  :yahh:

I just had a mango too, plus some dates and a banana.

My final piece of raw chocolate hopefully I will get my 80/10/10 book soonish and can get started right way.

Strange I would have prefered a piece of watermelon but do not feel to get in the car and drive to the supermarket...

 ahuh! a lady that is truly in touch with her 'inner 801010" even though you chose to ignore it,lol

I know, I know!!  But you must know that chocolate especially raw life chocolate has a voice that can call you from the fridge. Almost like a mermaid singing and luring you to the fridge untill it is too late and you are lost.

Don't worry she has been dealt with, eaten, gone.... time for new friends aye?!

I had lettuce wraps for lunch, containing avo, cuc, tom, carrot & mixed bean sprouts :)

Looking fwd to another mango when I get home and some rockymelon

Mmm that sounds yummy and crunchy, Kitteh!

Me, I'm luxuriating in an all-mango GS, with baby spinach. Oh it's soooo silky! I thought I was doing well yesterday when I found mangoes for 5 for $5 but today have outdone myself in getting a tray of 18 for $10... yay! :yahh:..

Now, to get them home on the bus tonight, without dropping them!

Heheh I'm up for the challenge!

x
JJ

yummy mangoes

Mangoes! Is there an echo here? LOL

xoxoxo

They're everywhere at the moment!

I had 2 this morning, felt a bit sick :(

Just had 2 bananas blended w/ some almond milk I made on the weekend - yummy & v.filling.

 :yahh: only a couple more hours til my mangoes come...... ahhhh can't wait. They are devine.

I used to love working in a tropical *tail bar, not for the alcohol but for the yummy concoctions I could make myself with mangoes, strawberries, pinapple, kiwi fruit and bananas in the blenders. I love how silky mangoes go when blended. Oh and we had a cool starfruit tree there too although i reckon they look better sliced up than they actually taste hehe.
I only wish I knew back then how to open all the coconuts that would fall around us.... there were hundreds. And they used to all get thrown out by the garden crew.

xx K

just blended some frozen bananas and frozen raspberries mmmmm

i had a fruit pudding for my evening meal...bananas blended with ripest sweetest red papaya(it was so ripe it was nearly like jam...amazing!!

I had my gs this arvo (bubba spinach, 2 narnas, papaya, kiwi).

This evening I have had a mango, a banana, blueberries. And then I decided to make my usual beet, celery, carrot, green apple, ginger juice... only I added in a grapefruit I had - AWFUL combo! Ohmygoodness, it tasted so wrong :( I ruined my juice.

damn.....i know when i went raw...for the first couple years...i made some shocking tasting things...blerk....

Hey Kitteh that's one of my staple juices too! I'll be sure not to let a rogue grapefruit slip its way in...
Ive heard of some people having juices with garlic in them. I just cant bring myself to try that!

yech! it would over power everything...even the neighbors 100kms away rofl

Haha, I'm glad you know now Chelle, it was so bad, the look on my face must have been priceless! And I figure I have to make a few mistakes too, RGG, I can't make brilliant combos all the time! Atleast I will remember that one ;)

I had some watermelon juice after the gym this morning, a mango for brekky, a narna & some strawbs mid-morning, a mango a lil while ago and now some of my usual lettuce wraps.

Looking fwd to a green smoothie of narna, baby spin, mango, raspberry this arvo.

I just had a smoothie of three large narna's blended with some filtered water.

Yummo!

Earlier I had : (http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2319/2179418394_6f36c8251c_m.jpg)

Lunch was lettuce wraps and now I am going to have my gs (b.spin, narnas, mango)

I just put some of mums raw almond hummus in some capsicum with some curry like spices (tumeric, coriander, cumin, cayenne) and baby spinach leaves. Mmm.

10 large bananas diced up and put in a bowl with 4 blended bananas poured over the top..

this is my "Banana pudding and custard" I love it!

Oh and this is dessert after a huge salad.    :yahh:

Tonight after my dinner salad with avocado dressing and seaweed is "Mamay Sapote's & a sapodilla" OMG... I'm in heaven!  Last night was a feast on Mango's.. lost count how many I had. Raw is so gourmet, I love it!.. 

:uhuh:is there any other way to eat?

xx

Well after reading all that, my tummy is growling, fresh fruit is what i want, i have a few mellons in the fridge, will have to attack them! :yahh:

Germinated sesame seeds, fresh coriander(cilantro),garlic, lemonjuice, avocado oil 'pesto' dip serve with raw crudite sticks.

That's a very "savoury" breakfast, garfield compared to most round here! When I was a kiddy I used to love hollowing out a big cucumber and stuffing it with olives (pitted of course) for brekky! I'm trying to eat just fruit before noon but your salad sounds yummo. I'm deciding between a big bunch of bananas and a big bowl of apricots from the backyard. I think apricots win!

I had a salad (lettuce, tom, cuc, carrot, capsicum) and tried to make a dressing w/ tahini and lemon juice, didn't really work and I feel a bit icky.

an apple vanilla & cinnamon kitzbar...delicious!

Hehehe, I'm not 100% sure Jungle, but I have a feeling Garfield might not be here in Aus... maybe that was dinner not brekky. :laugh: But maybe I'm wrong.

Just at the mo' I'm having a yummy GS with nanas, nectarines, silverbeet and some foraged foods - windmill weed, comfrey and sweet potato leaves. Yum!  :yahh:

Yummy salad, beetroot crazy with red cabbage carrot sprouted brown lentils, sprouted buckwheat, pepitas and dressing. so satisfying. cant wait till my beetroots are ready in the garden, fresh, they are so much more purple.
I think i have hit a beetroot phase again, havn't fancied it for weeks but gosh it was good today.

Mums been asking about rawfood a lot and Jen told me there is a cafe with rawfood options so mum and I are going to go now and check it out, Im full & satisfied though after having my frothy GS so I'll be only sticky-beaking

I'm about to be slurpin (does that count?) on a big green pudding with chia, pears, dates, vanilla bean, water and chopped narnas. Kwor....

hehe maybe a slight exaggeration  :snicker:
More like a 1200g - give or take.

Just had a nice variation of the above. Loads of juicy red grapes dumped in a bowl over a bed of baby spinach and wild rocket. Yummy!

lovely basic salad of baby cos, tomatoes and wakame. Delish! I'm finding these simple salads very easy to prepare and delish as well. I'm surprised I'm enjoying it because I was craving something a lot less pure!

xoxox

good for you Jen...simple is best all round,for time management,dishes,digestion and not overeating..

That sounds nice Frangi...

Tonight I had a salad of cos lettuce, grated carrot, with a dressing of blended cashews and soaked dried tomatoes. Simple and yummy. It was going to be a complicated salad but I just couldn't be bothered!

xoxoxo

I have just had a packet of Smith's Gravy flavoured chips.......yes, very un-raw I know. Saw them in the shops weeks ago and finally decided to give them a go. Expected to hate them very much indeed (OMG - you should see the yucky artificial ingredients) but surprisingly they were quite tasty and very moreish.

Last week I tried the Red Rock Deli Seasoned Roasted Garlic crisps and they were sensational, really lovely and really moreish.

I very rarely eat crisps as I find them too greasy, too artificial tasting and with too much MSG.

However, I liked the Seasoned Roasted Garlic crisps so much that I am going to try and re-create a raw version of them once I get my dehydrator.

I had a perfectly ripe black sapote from the asian grocer in the Valley. The only one too.

My flatmate didn't know what it was sitting in the fruit bowl and had to 'touch it' out of curiousity!

I like eating them with the skin like an apple....

yesterday evening i had lettuce with black russian tomatoes-avocado-olive-cilantro blended to guacamole and a slice of buckwheat cracks... very yummy but took me a while to digest cos all the fats and silly me adding an extra large quantity of olive oil on the top...!! LOL

had just some peaches, banana, strawberrie, parsley smoothie... peaches are in season now , and with banana they are just tasting wonderful...

Ooh sun lover, that sounds mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! I once took one to a friends home and she chucked it in the bin thinking it was rotten! Lucky she had just changed the bin bag so I could still eat it!

I was dreaming of Black Russian tomatoes last night!

Before I squeezed 3kg of organic navel orange juice and munched on a few organic asparagus stalks which tasted of sesame sooo good I just ordered a 7kg box for friends and I!

he-he black russians... they are just wonderful... i'm looking forward to grow them at home ... ..
Asparagus are wonderful hey , we have biodynamics ones , and they just keep growing and growing once you plant em...

well today i had what i call a Cream of Heaven: 10 ripe Ladyfingers and some Maca blended to a creamy and golden smoothieee ....! Very yumm...

All Blessings in Tasmania...

Decided to try juicing cucmber, expecting to hate it and would it make me gag?

NO WAY!

I loved it - I dusted off my juicer and decided that I will juice my greens for a while instead of blending them.

Blending greens so far has made me a little nauseous. But I never know what to do with the left over fibre - it seems like such a waste of good stuff!

Anyway - longwinded way of saying I'm munching on (slurping, perhaps??)
cucumber juice!

xxx's Niqi

cucumbers and red grapes! Yummo. Looks like cucumbers are a bit of a theme today.

xooxo

Maybe cut back slightly on the quantity and you won't feel nauseous?
When you throw out the fibre you also throw out other good stuff like antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and various phytonutrients (plant nutrients).
I think juicing's alright time to time but it's refining of food and I find that always leads to imbalanced nutrition (like omega 3/6 out of whack, etc)...but of course there can be reasons like compromised digestion where juicing can be optimal at least for the short term (...oops, gone off on a tangent)

Bananas!

...and I'm up for cucumber soup straight after work!
(work = hitting the raw pleasure forum :)

Ouch. Hitting the forum? Giving it a punch!!! What's wrong with a loving caress Grant? LOL.

Bliss balls and a choc fudge bar. Yum!

xoxoxo

Banana wrapped in lettuce leaves with a touch of macadamia nut paste
Delicious
((())) fang:-)

A HUGE salad of lettuce, baby spinach, tomato, celery, red capsicum and orange juice as dressing. I'm back AGAIN!!! :ohyeah:

I only know how to hit with loving caress, you know that Jen :)

Still eating bananas...goes really well after "soursop"!

Oh... my favourite fruit. I've not seen that up here for aaaaaaaaaaaaaages. It's almost a physical pain the longing for it. Trying so hard right now to be all loving and not envy you at all but dammit, envy is oozing out of every pore! Not begrudging you though. Happy soursopping!

xoxo

Raw n fit! I missed your post. Welcome back again! Hugs...

Sounds nice Frangifang.

Olives. (found em!)

xoxoxo

Thanks Jen. Glad to be back. Must update my journal at some stage.

Yes please do. I'd love to hear what you have been up to.

Munching on water?

xoxoxo

Wow, I ate nearly 5kg of cucumber yesterday!!!

Right now I'm practicing breatharianism...until my next meal :)

Thanks! I sorta thought this might be the case, but will try cutting quantity. I hate not having the fibrous bits, they look at me with all the loving energy in them and cry 'don't throw me out, eat me! eat me!' LOLOLOLOL!

On to next experiment!

Thanks again, Niqi

It was liberating the day I finally learned that it is better to compost excess food in nature than to compost it in our bodies.

had some cherries crashed again.

xoxoxo

Purple Pudding presented to myself in a very long stem wine glass and garnished with a sprig of chocolate mint.

Rocky smoothie for brekky. Ran 20km yesterday...I'm hungry!
