Watermelon (3 1/2 cups)
Bleh Protein Smoothie
OK, this kind of tasted like crap. I winced the whole time I was drinking it. It had filtered water, raw rice protein powder (vanilla flavor, I like the chocolate much better), hemp protein powder, Amazing Grass wheat grass powder, and an orange (peeled). I chugged it down and was glad to be done with it. Bleh.
Watermelon (2 cups)
Remember! One of the main food combining rules (to always follow) is eating melons alone. So, I had this watermelon more than an hour after my protein shake (giving my shake time to digest and leave my stomach).
Fresh Green Juice (3 cups)
Vibrant, delicious, nutritious... this stuff made my cells dance all day long. Green juice, or as you know I love to call it, Plant Blood, is SO good for you!!! Today's concoction had (all organic) dinosaur kale, celery, dandelion greens, oranges and apple. I used my good ol' Green Star for this baby! That machine is amazing and is truly worth every penny.
Watermelon (3 cups)
What can I say? I LOVE WATERMELON!!!!!!!!!!!!
Plain Sauerkraut (1/2 cup), 3 Prunes
I made another batch of sauerkraut today but this time I made it with cabbage, carrots, and a little cayenne pepper. I shot some video of the process and will post it later this week. Stay tuned!
Giant Fresh Salad
Tonight's salad was a big bowl filled with romaine lettuce, shredded carrot, diced avocado and a special dressing that I made using an ingredient I've not used before now. I will report back later about what it was. Know this, it was scrumptious!
Plain Sauerkraut (1/2 cup), 2 Prunes
I suspect I'll get hungry later. If (when) I do, I plan on eating organic cherries and maybe the organic white peach I picked up at Whole Foods last night.

So excited about videos! I'm new to raw and have been doing a lot of reading. Videos are a great enhancement for the learning process. Thank you.
Oh! Great, Team Heri, glad to hear you're excited about the videos. More to come!

You are sooo cute. I love that you have a kitchen helper too! Isn't that such a great job for our guys? Hehe.
Totally, SS! He's a great helper... I needed to put those big muscles to work pushing those greens through my GreenStar. ;)
Hugs,

Ok now I want some watermelon. I could go a day just eating that alone! haha
I too am a watermelon addict. Fruit just doesn't get any better!
I have become a watermelon fan this summer! :) I am sooo obsessed, can't get enough!
Love the video, can't wait for that kraut video..mmmm!
Have a lovely day!
question:
why eat melon alone? first time i've heard that, just curious.
i use melon sometimes as a green smoothie base and didn't want to be doing something wrong!
HI Irene,
Melons digest so quickly that if you eat them with anything else, it can slow their journey through your body. When this happens, it causes them to ferment. Melons always alone is the one rule of food combining that I'm militant about. Best to eat on an empty stomach. If you eat something after, wait a good 20-30 minutes for the melon to pass. And, if you had food previously, depending on the food, you should wait a good 2-4 hours before eating melon.
Cheers,
Kristen
Yummy juice ! Drewl...
Thanks Cecilia! I'm off to make another batch right now... kale, dandelion and apples. Yum!
I'm just starting to read up on food combining now. YIKES! It's definitely intriguing though. :) Yummy plant blood!
