Raw food- who knew it could be so good!

I began the day with my usual 'Greens & Eggs Raw Shake". My version of Dr. Seuss's Green Eggs & Ham. :) ( 260-275 cal ) I find that I do better with higher fat & low carb ratio on a low calorie diet - 1000-1200 daily intake.

1 scoop Green Vibrance (50 cal = 10 servings raw veggies)
2-3 c filtered water
1 scoop grapefruit fiber (10 cal)
1t cinnamon
stevia to taste
2T raw grated ginger (I really like the kick from raw ginger- great anti inflammatory)
2t MSM
1t chlorella powder

blend on high for 1-2 min.
add 2 raw organic, free range eggs (140 cal)
1/2 T flax seed oil (60 cal)

blend on low for 20 seconds: egg proteins and oils are fragile, to avoid altering them, mix minimally

Pour into large glass & drink immediately.

Lunch was Zucchini Pasta with Marinara Sauce & kippered herring

1c Marinara Sauce

1 ripe tomato, chopped, about 1/2 c
1/2 c sun-dried tomatoes (soaked or oil packed)
1/2 bell pepper, chopped, about 1/2 c
2T extra-virgin olive oil
1T minced fresh basil, or 1t dried
1t dried Oregano
1/2 t crushed garlic, or 1T if you love garlic and feed this to your sweetheart too
1t sea salt
dash pepper
dash cayenne

Combine all ingredients in a food processor with an s-blade, and process.

Cut zucchini into thin noodles using a vegetable spiral slicer. Or, use a vegetable peeler to create 'fettuccine'. You can also create shoot 'noodles' with a salad shooter.

Put zucchini noodles on a plate & cover with Marinara sauce. Garnish with chopped olives & parsley.

Open a tin of kippered herring & serve on the side. Eat a fresh apple for dessert.

I felt so-o-o good after this meal!

snack was

Not tuna Pate - 6-8 servings - a snack is 1/4 c.

2 c soaked raw sunflower seeds
1 c soaked raw almonds
1/2 c water
1/4 c fresh lemon juice - I added 1/2 c
1/3 c minced celery
1/4 c red onion
1/4 c minced fresh parsley
3/4 t sea salt

Process sunflower seeds, almonds, lemon juice & water into a paste. transfer to a small mixing bowl & stir in other ingredients. Store in a sealed container in the fridge. It will keep foe several days. I added curry to one batch & it tasted great.

Dinner was Curried Basa & Zucchini noodles with a Raw Vegan Chocolate Mousse.

Steam the basa fish slowly add curry, garlic & sea salt. Serve over raw zucchini noodles.

1/2 c pitted dates, soaked
1/2 c agave nectar
1 t vanilla
1 1/2 c mashed avocados
3/4 c unsweetened cocoa or carob powder
1/2 c water

Process dates & agave in food processor until smooth. Add the rest & process until creamy.
Incredibly rich, to be eaten in small quantities. You would never know the avocados were there if you didn't see them go in...

Garnish with shredded coconut and/or walnuts.

Tom hates avocados, but he loved this dessert.
