High Raw, All Vegan Food Intake - Pregnancy Food Journal

My food intake for Thursday!
  • 1/2 Crunchy Buckwheat Biscuit (pic to right)
  • 1 cup-ish raw granola from Kaia Foods
  • 1/4 trail mix (Kaia Foods Garlic Salt Sprouted Sunflower Seeds along with raisins and goji berries)
  • Huge organic salad (romaine, avocado, orange bell pepper, lemon juice, Himalayan crystal salt, black pepper)
  • Crunchy Buckwheat Biscuit
  • 2 Mesquite-n-Protein Chocolates
  • 3 cups fresh organic green juice made with my Hurom Juicer (veganic tomatoes, kale, cucumbers, garlic, lemon)
And.... for dinner? Salads, MEXICAN PIZZA (cooked vegan), Raw Vegan Pumpkin Pie








  • Huge organic salad (same as above)
  • I took a flat bread type crust from Whole Foods and warmed it up. Then, I topped it with black bean vegan chili, salsa, avocado, and Daiya cheese. Put it under the broiler to melt the cheese a bit and voila! My husband was looking forward to this all week! It did not disappoint. 
  • We split a piece of Raw Vegan Pumpkin Pie from my EASY Raw Vegan Holidays book - Yum! (I made the pie around Thanksgiving time and froze individual slices so I could easily take a piece out to thaw, like I did today.
  • 2 Mesquite-n-Protein Chocolates (OOPS! After this second serving of raw chocolate, I realized I overdid it a bit with the chocolate and I was buzzed up all night. I took a fast paced walk and banged out a bunch of work)
  • Brown Rice Protein Shake (certified organic) from Sprout Living (they sent me samples to review and I'm quite pleased. I suspect they'll give Sun Warrior a run for their money seeing as Sprout Living is "certified organic" while SunWarrior is only non-gmo)

  1. I am fairly new to your blog and have been going back over lots of your old posts. You mention sending out lots of recipes in your newsletter but I wasn't able to sign up until I found it now! I was wondering if you had an archive somewhere so I could gain access to all of these recipes!?! Thanks

  5. Oooh, I <3 Mexican food!

    Thanks for being so inspiring Kristen! I've 'gone raw' until dinner for the last two days, and already have my food for tomorrow planned out. HUMONGOUS salad beasts with avocado dressing (Is there anything that avocado's CAN'T do?) and tons of fruit and seeds for crunch! I've gotta go replenish my hemp seed stash so I can make more nacho sauce now!

    happy vegan eating!

  7. Hi Bitt!

    The recipe is perfected and almost ready for sharing. I'm featuring it in my upcoming book, and when the time comes, I'll probably feature it on my blog since I've talked about them so much. :)

    Cheers,
    Kristen

  10. Yummy! Those Crunchy Buckwheat Biscuits look really good! I can't wait to see the recipe and I'm looking forward to this new book. You definitely need to write one about a high raw, vegan pregnancy.....unless that is what the new book will be?

  11. Kelly, you can purchase Kristen's cookbooks with many wonderful recipes. Her recipes are out of this world.

    Kristen, do you have any suggestions on how to store hemp seeds? I purchased a tub of them and made the cheese sauce. Now I don't know how to store them. Thank you.

  17. I have a Jack Lalanne Juicer, but want to upgrade to one of the fancier/better juicers. I know you have the Greenstar and Hurom. Do you prefer the Hurom now? Trying to decide which to get. Easy cleanup is important to me since I have two toddlers. But it would also be nice if I could make juice in the evening for the following morning. Mornings are so hectic, but I love having my juice!
