High Raw Food Intake – Pregnancy Food Journal – Thursday

by Kristen in cherry chocolate bomb shake, food journal, garden of life, organic, pineapple, sun warrior rice protein

Wednesday I wasn’t feeling my best, so today I wanted to eat extra clean and a little on the lighter side. I’ve been craving a lot of fruits (especially red fruits, although today’s food in particular isn’t high in red because I already gobbled up the strawberries, raspberries, etc earlier this week).

Protein Shake – 1 scoop Sun Warrior Sprouted Brown Rice Protein Powder & 1 scoop Garden of Life RAW Protein Powder

Teeccino

Organic pineapple – a whole pineapple – I ate most of it in the morning, the rest in the green smoothie below

Organic apple

Protein bar from GoMacro (Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip) – I really like these. They’re available at Whole Foods, but I get mine online from Amazon.com by the box so it’s cheaper per bar.

Organic Green Smoothie – small head of romaine lettuce, pineapple, orange

Organic apple

Organic red bell pepper – sometimes I just eat these like an apple

Organic carrots

1/2 cup homemade organic raw sauerkraut

Cherry Chocolate Bomb Shake!

My day has a nice amount of protein, but I might need more calories. I’ll see how I feel tonight and eat more if needed.

Raw Vegan Recipe (video): Cherry Chocolate Bomb Shake

by Kristen in cherry chocolate bomb shake, raw recipe, video

Here is one of my latest and greatest concoctions! I love it so much that at night when I’m going to bed, I’m already looking forward to the next day when I get to make it. It’s that good! I named it Cherry Chocolate Bomb Shake because it’s the bomb! This fun shake is loaded with superior nutrition including superfood hemp seeds, raw chocolate powder, and hemp protein powder, along with organic fruit. It has about 35 grams of raw vegan protein, which is great for the little baby growing inside me. Oh, and I recently shared this recipe with another pregnant mama friend of mine and she went crazy for it. She loved it so much that she went to the store and stocked up on the ingredients so she could make it over and over.
YUM! I’m going to say it again…. YUM!!! OH! And this will make a perfect Valentine’s Day shake.

Yield 3 cups

1 cup filtered water
1 frozen banana, chopped
1 cup frozen cherries
1/4 cup hemp protein powder
2 tablespoons hemp seeds
2 tablespoons raw chocolate powder

Blend this goodness up, and enjoy it as it helps make your day one of the best days ever!
