Sunday's HRAV food

Today was a HRAV (High Raw, All Vegan) day and here is what I had... (all organic)

2 bananas

I love how easy bananas are for a light and quick morning breakfast. I know it's not going to "stick" with me all morning, but it gets me going and is light on my digestion.


2 mugs ginger tea

I met mom at Starbucks to play cards and brought my own organic ginger tea (and my own mug from home, it's a Starbucks mug).


1/2 cup Holiday Chia Pudding
This stuff is so dang good!!! I LOVE the texture with the coconut in it. And the flavor - dynamite!

Veggie Bowl with Buckwheat Noodles

This is my High Raw dish. It consisted of buckwheat noodles that I lightly sauteed with a tablespoon of sesame oil for only a few minutes to warm them up. Then, I put them in a bowl and added a bunch of fresh raw produce - red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, carrot, handful of chopped cabbage (all the produce was from Doug, my favorite local organic farmer... I'm so excited because his CSA starts next week!!!)


1/4 cup sauerkraut (raw, unpasteurized)


3 cups Fresh Plant Blood

Pineapple, strawberries, and 1 tablespoon wheat grass powder


Miso soup

This is not Raw, but it is "living" and it's wonderful for my digestion. I love miso soup. The only brand I'll use is South River Miso. It's top of the line!


1/2 avocado with a pinch of Himalayan crystal salt

I love avocado and they contain lots of fiber as well as B-vitamins


Protein Shake

This was made with my favorite protein powders (Hemp & Rice). I blended it with water, strawberries, banana, and raspberries


3 prunes


More Holiday Chia Pudding


If I get hungry later, I'll probably have a Vega bar or some more veggies.

I have yet to do a day totally raw and your post gives me the inspiration to go for it!

Thanks for the Miso link. I've been wondering how to get it.

After a week of daily dandilions.... I do like green juice with dandelion, carrots, and apple. And ... I do feel good!

I started fermenting some cabbage about a month ago per a GSG recipe. I doubled the salt and omitted the whey.

Hi VeganWoman,
Thanks for commenting. Sometimes half the battle is having the food planned out. Go for it! YAY!

Hi Permission to Mother,
That's great about the dandelion... with carrots and apple it sounds terrific. And feeling good is what I like to hear :)

I used 1 tablespoon Himalayan crystal salt for each 2 pounds of cabbage. No whey (of course). It's on my counter now and I'll probably dive into it in 4 weeks. Oh... the wait!!! Boo-hoo! Good things come to those who wait though :)

Cheers,
Kristen

I have just GOT to make that chia pudding. Every time I see it here, I keep telling myself to remember to get chia seeds. I'll remember this time, though. I'm writing it down!

I just love that you met Mom at Starbucks to play cards! I'm gonna guess that you're Gin Rummy gals. Go Fish? :D

Sounds like a great food day. I am happy to see you are depriving yourself and you are really eating super healthy. Way to go = )

Ingrid said...

Health all day long! I started out with one banana for breakfast this morning.

And oh my gosh, buckwheat noodles! I use to eat loads of buckwheat noodles every time I ate Japanese food, which was quite often in the past. You've inspired me to whip out the miso and make miso soup for dinner tonight. :-)

I had a high raw day too. I like that I don't have to restrict myself to 100% raw. I need that in my life!

People laugh at me when I say that I drink ginger tea. I just peel, grate, heat and go. I don't even use sweetener. I have but prefer it without.

We love ginger. (Not Mary Ann)
