High Raw Food Intake - Pregnancy Food Journal - Sunday

My husband and I are enjoying a day of High Raw food day. All organic. And, that's me having fun in my third trimester - YAY! I am so happy being pregnant! (OH! On Monday I'm having another AWESOME GIVEAWAY so come on back tomorrow!!!)

1 large banana - I had mine fresh peeled, and my husband had his warmed in the dehydrator as semi-dehydrated slices

Teeccino with Raw Vegan Nutmilk - I am writing a post on getting over caffeine addictions this week, so stay tuned for that. For my Raw Vegan Nutmilk, I made a 1-Minute Nut Milk with 1 hefty tablespoon of Rejuvenative's Pecan Pie Butter (so extra yummy!) blended with a cup of water. It's aromatic, a hint of spice, a touch of sweet, and super delish!

1/2 cup fresh pineapple - I had mine fresh, and my husband had his warmed in the dehydrator as semi-dehydrated. He loves it like that.

Hearty Buckwheat Biscuits - This recipe will be in my next email newsletter, which goes out on Tuesday. I had one of these today and my husband had two. They're so good! I already need to make another batch!

Plant Blood - I made 2 quarts of organic green juice using my Hurom (love this juicer!). We each had about 2 cups and I'm saving the rest for later in the day. It had 1 bunch of celery, 1 bunch curly purple kale, 1 bunch cilantro, 2 large cucumbers, 2 large carrots, 1/2 inch knob of ginger, 1/2 pineapple, 1/2 cup water)

Protein Shakes - My husband will have one of his Protein Grenades and I will simply have a shake mix of Sun Warrior Brown Rice protein powder, Hemp protein powder, cinnamon, and water.

Huge Protein Salads - Giving my little monkey some extra protein now that we're in the third trimester. This salad has an awesome raw vegan dressing, cucumbers, red bell peppers, spinach, broccoli sprouts, raisins, and tofu.

Plant Blood - Leftover from earlier in the day.

Sauerkraut - This homemade kraut is sooooo good! I could eat a cup at a time. Yum! I'm enjoying this batch on top of another Hearty Buckwheat Biscuit. (Learn how I make my organic, unpasteurized sauerkraut here.)

Strawberries with Sweet Frosting Dip - The Sweet Frosting Dip recipe will be in my next book, due out in the next couple of months (hopefully before I give birth to my baby). Stay tuned!

Raw Vegan Truffles - My good friends, Dolly and Anthony (you might know him as Raw Model), are making Raw truffles that they sell (Blackbird Naturals is the name of the company) and they happen to live nearby! I bumped into them at the market over the weekend where they blessed me with FREE CHOCOLATE. And, um... about 2 hours later I went to Oakville Market where they sell them and I bought a package. I'm having them for dessert tonight!

Protein Shake - I'm undecided, but if I find myself hungry or needing more protein later tonight, I'll shake up another protein shake. Perhaps I'll have another banana, too!

  3. It's going to be a total surprise. I have had two dreams where I have a girl, but my mom and mom-in-law have mentioned boy. My step-mom thinks girl. So, who knows! LOL! But, now... it's getting extra fun to imagine the true surprise :)

    XOXO,
    Kristen

  7. Hi B,
    That's awesome - thank you!

    Hi Christine,
    It's an awesome hand me down from my girl, Malynda. I believe the brand is Old Navy but it's probably a few years old by now. ;)

    Cheers XOXO,
    Kristen

  13. You look radiant! I can't wait to see the recipe for your buckwheat biscuits. I just bought a ton of buckwheat groats at WF. I think I get your newsletter? I am trying to go very high raw in hopes that it will help me heal, physically, mentally, and spiritually. I have had a very rough few months and need to do something. YOu are such an inspiration to me. Thank you for all you do to support all of your blogging family! Hugs!

  17. How do you clean your kraut crock weights and lid? They are porous, right? Do you use soap on them?

  18. Hi Cindy,
    What I do was not necessarily recommended by the manufacturer, so you might want to check with them. However, here is what I've done:

    1) soak in hot water, sometimes with a tiny bit of unscented liquid soap and/or I use eco-friendly non-chlorine bleach

    2) allow to dry in the sun thoroughly

    3) Sometimes I do steps one and two above, twice

    4) one thing I haven't done, but plan to next time is soaking them in hot water with some vegetable grade hydrogen peroxide

  21. You look great! I love kimchi probably as much as you love sauerkraut. I just started making my own kimchi and eat it every day. I don't think I have ever tried sauerkraut though so I am going to give it a try. Off to check out your video!

  22. Love the dress! I hope I love being pregnant (one day) as much as you do. I guess you must love it even more after all you went through to concieve :)

  23. I started blending the chocolate Sun Warrior protein with half a frozen banana, about 2 cups water, 1 cup unsweetened raw almond milk, and a couple handfuls of spinach. Very green, but very good!

  24. Oh you naughty, naughty woman! Once I've completed my Candida cleanse I'm going to head over to Oakville Market for a treat. I knew following the blog of someone in the Valley could be harmful to my wallet. Thanks for the info on where to find the delicious looking/sounding truffles.

    Smiles,
    Anne
