Food Journal: Omnivore, Gluten Free

By

Here’s my food journal from yesterday. Although I wouldn’t call it a strict paleo diet, it’s paleo -like. I’d say I’m a cross between Nourishing Traditions type foods and Paleo. Basically, I do Paleo plus grass fed butter… and on rare occasion I have raw grass fed cheese.

I prefer Straus European grass fed butters because of the higher fat content, but I'm at mom's and Kerrygold is what she had.

++ Please note that when I post a food journal it is simply a snap shot of a day in my life. My foods vary, with intention, and you can’t always see that when I randomly post food journals. Nonetheless, people continue to ask me to post my food journals. I’ll do my best to post them more often so you get a better picture.

Energizing Food Journal – High Raw

By

It’s time for a food journal post. I get requests for this quite a bit, and I understand the desire… I love reading about other people’s healthy eats. So, without further ado… here we go.

This stuff rocks the nutrient house.

1 Quart Green Juice with a tablespoon of  Vitamineral Green powder stirred in and 4 drops of raw coriander oil – this started my morning off with a bang. I’m a total Green Monster. (I was super pleased to learn that adding the Vitamineral Green powder to my Norwalk pressed green juice hardly altered the flavor. I was expecting to have to chug down my green juice but I barely noticed the green powder addition. That makes me so very happy because by adding some green powder to my potent green juice, well, I just kicked up that nutrition extra big time. I was flying high after drinking it.)

1 Quart Protein Power Smoothie: Protein powders with Cocochia, hemp seeds, spinach, acai powder, cucumber, and berries. I packed in the nutrients for this puppy. Fueling my body with everything it needed.

Core Defender Bar – love these. I have a weird addiction to them and have often had days where I eat two, sometimes three (gasp!), in a day.

1 Quart Green Juice with Greener Grasses and Sun Warrior’s Ormus Supergreens added. I was so elated to learn that mixing a nutrient dense green powder as hardcore as Vitamineral Green into my juice wouldn’t alter the flavor much, that I made a another but used different green powders. Again… it was completely enjoyable. Yeah baby!

Large salad. Homemade Veg and Bean Soup with hemp seeds stirred in. Core Defender Bar (I know, two in one day? Addicted)

2 cups raw organic coconut water post run.

Herbal tea

Here is today’s food journal :)

Breakfast: Herbal tea blend (nettles, raspberry leaf, lemon balm, chamomile, peppermint) and raw chocolate. Yup, I eat raw chocolate for breakfast often, err, I mean, sometimes. I followed that with a Sun Warrior protein shake (my new go-to flavor mix that I’ll blog about soon).

Snack: 2 cups Green Smoothie: kale, pili hemp milk, apple, banana, and celery

Lunch: 1 quart Green Protein Smoothie: spinach, apple, banana, water, ice, and protein powders

Dinner: beans, brown rice, and veggies with more herbal tea to drink

Dessert: raw chocolate brownie (here’s a great recipe to try)

Hope you all had a great weekend. Tomorrow, come on back, because I have a great post with goodies about Raw Vegan Transitioning.

60-Second Raw Nut Milk (VIDEO, Raw Vegan Recipe) & Food Journal

By

Fresh raw nut milks taste delicious, and there’s lots of variety in the nuts or seeds you can use to make them. Plus, they can be used in endless ways…

Earthbound Brazil Nut Milk
  • Drinking it plain – as in a tall glass o’ raw nut milk (add a handful of ice for extra refreshment… mmmm so good).
  • Use in place of water for creamy flavorful raw soups.
  • Super used in fruit or green smoothies. Bonus: it mellows out greens which means you can use less fruit, if desired.
  • Make your next protein shake with raw milk and get an extra boost of performance enhancing nutrients and protein.
  • Great in raw desserts like raw chocolate puddings, raw cheesecake, and raw mousse.
  • Use on raw granola or any cereal of choice, whether raw or not.
  • Add to coffee and tea.

The down side to keeping a ready-to-use stash of raw nut milk is that it generally means a routine of soaking, blending, and the dreaded straining in order to make it. Not anymore though! Here is a great way to make raw nut milks that is easy and fast. No straining! So… guess what that means? No excuses!
