Today’s Raw Vegan food for us (boyfriend & me) was fit for a King & Queen. This might seem strange to some people since we don’t dine in 5-star restaurants, which is by choice since most 5-star restaurants don’t even serve organic. I laugh at it because, like come on, are these restaurants serious? There is no way that we’re paying top dollar to have food made with cheap and conventional ingredients. When you take a closer look at what we eat, you’ll see that we certainly dine in luxury. Our food is the healthiest cuisine on the planet, fit for royalty.
When it comes to my food and body care, I go first class, but what’s cool is that it doesn’t break the bank. As my Papa used to always say, “It doesn’t cost more to go first class.” I totally agree. Think about it… you either pay for cheap, crappy, refined, conventional food and body care products and have to pay for other things (doctor bills, medicine, zit cream, wrinkle fighting creams, expensive caffeinated beverages to give you energy, etc) OR you go first class with your food and body care (this is true luxury, my friends) and save on all of those other expenses. It’s a no-brainer to me.
In the past, I used to purchase the high end cosmetics (Chanel, Christian Dior, La Mer, etc), thinking I was doing a good thing. I happily wave good-bye to those days because these days I only purchase cosmetics and body care products that are truly natural, non-toxic, environmentally friendly, and organic (when available). These products aren’t always the least expensive, but they’re nowhere near the cost of my previous toxic and chemical laden purchases. Still, I feel more wrapped in luxury every time I use my organic, natural face soap. I feel like a queen with every pump of my organic, purely natural facial moisturizer. I feel like a first class babe when I’m washing my hair with mud (yup, you read that right… mud!). I’m thrilled and proud to be using products (I’ll blog my favorites tomorrow) with the finest ingredients on earth which are eco-friendly and good for my body. That’s royalty!
So, back to food and the healthiest cuisine that we enjoy every day. I have to tell you about the dressing I made us yesterday. I’ve been practically slurping up since I made it. It’s a super simple (6 easy ingredients), mega delicious dressing, and for now, it’s MY FAVORITE DRESSING! I’ll feature it in my monthly email newsletter for August. (Sign up here). It’s so EASY and takes only 2-minutes to make.
Today’s Raw Food For This King & Queen: You all already know the drill of metal detox, camu, vitamin B, vitamineral green, women’s tea, etc that I’m doing daily. (Details for newbies to my blog)
Then, I had the following (all organic, of course, it always is):
~3 cups Spicy Cancer Fighting Plant Blood (broccoli, carrot, cayenne)
~1 bowl cereal with raisins and raw hemp seed milk (made with hemp seed butter)
~Rockin’ Protein Smoothie (2 c water, 1 c spinach, 1/4 c hemp protein powder, 2 frozen bananas, 1/2 vanilla bean minced, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon) – it was so freakin’ great. I tell ya, I love my lifestyle. The food is so delicious and I feel so amazing! Okay… back to the rest of my food for the day (I’m just so happy and grateful and love sharing how I feel – haha – that sometimes I can’t help myself)…
~Spinach Sprout Salad I used my home grown sprouts on top of a bowl of spinach, quickly diced up a zucchini and avocado, poured some of My Favorite Dressing on top and I was one happy camper (oh, and my boyfriend was licking his bowl – no lie!).
Later on… I’ll have:
Another Spinach Salad Salad with My Favorite Dressing, sans sprouts because I can’t harvest more until tomorrow
Another energizing Plant Blood (celery, cucumber, kale this time)
Another Rockin’ Protein Smoothie, sans vanilla bean because it’s all gone, but I’ll throw in a clove for a little pizzaz!
As you can see, I’m all about living simply & easily. I certainly don’t mind repeat meals in the same day. I mean, how could you? The food is amazing!!! And, oh by the way, my lifestyle is fit for royalty with superior nutrition. Not bad, eh?
