Her name is Daphne. :) Isn't she so cute?!
Have you seen Thanksgiving's toll on turkeys? It's just awful.
Okay.... so on to my All-Raw-Organic food for today:
I started my morning with a large purple-ish brown smoothie. It had water, frozen cherries, banana, hemp seeds, hemp protein powder, RAW sunflower lecithin, red leaf lettuce, and probiotic powder.
I made two protein drinks with Sprout Living's new Vanilla Lucuma protein powder to have throughout the day. It's very good! It's the first ever vanilla protein powder that I like. Finally! And... it's raw, vegan, and certified organic (yay!). I mixed it with water, Greener Grasses, and pumpkin spice. They also sent me their Chocolate Maca flavor to try, as well as their plain flavor. I don't usually drink this much protein, but my postpartum hair shedding is out of control and I'm hoping some protein will help?! I also added a little extra zinc to my diet and I'm drinking organic nettle tea. (I blogged about some postpartum issues here).
Fall Delight - this is a mixture of shredded apple, pear, and carrot tossed with a handful of raisins, sprinkling of hemp seeds, 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin spice, and a small drizzle of yacon syrup.Salad - I tossed a large salad of green leaf lettuce with segmented oranges, chopped zucchini, and chopped persimmon. I squeezed a little fresh lemon juice on top. (Persimmons are one of my favorites! Read more about my obsession here.)
Zucchini Pasta with Velvet Wine Sauce - Mmmm soooooo gooooooood. I simply spiralized some zucchini pasta with my favorite raw pasta maker, added halved grape tomatoes, minced raw olives, and Velvet Wine Sauce. Lip smackin' delicious. I've written about my Velvet Wine Sauce here recently, and I shared the recipe in a limited edition of a recent email newsletter (hope you were on the list when I sent it out). If you don't have it, it's also available in my latest book EASY Raw Vegan Transition Recipes.
Cheezy Kale Chips from Blue Mountain Organics (I raved about them here where I also taught you how you can make your own). Personally, I can't get my hands on organic red bell pepper to make my Cheezy Hemp Nacho Sauce to make my own Cheezy Hemp Nacho Kale Chips. So, in the meantime, I'm enjoying Blue Mountain Organics' Cheezy Kale Chips.

I'm using a new organic produce delivery service, Nature's Garden Delivered. It's my second week trying them (thank you to the commenter in a previous post who turned me on to them). I'm quite happy (I love their access to local organic food). They don't have as much variety as Boxed Greens, but Nature's Garden Delivered is less expensive and does a better job with their packaging (they use less plastic). They don't deliver nationwide, but they're available in Arizona and Georgia.
