Green Smoothie Holdout Gives In
November 16, 2009
I had my first green smoothie last week, and I think I”m hooked! I heard about them for so long before I actually tried one. I have to admit, I guess I just didn’t “get it.” I couldn’t understand what a green smoothie actually was and why it was so good for you.
I have been looking at different recipes lately and getting accustomed to what actually goes into a green smoothie. I always thought the drinks looked pretty, but still didn’t give in to them until very recently.
So, last week, I tried one and it was really good! Here’s what I put in it:
1 pear
6 strawberries
1 cup spring mix
Almost a cup of water
I have had it three times since then and am still enjoying it. I just printed off some other recipes to try, so I think I”ll keep going on this little adventure!
Raw Food for Thanksgiving?
November 4, 2009
All you raw foodists, what are you planning for Thanksgiving dinner? I have to be honest and say we will be having a traditional Thanksgiving meal with turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, rolls, cranberries and pie for dessert. Shame on us, I know.
You know, I feel sometimes that traditions are important and this is what we have always had. We have only been into raw/vegan food for about two years, so we haven’t exactly made a new tradition at this point. And we will probably be having some guests, so I feel we should serve a typical meal.
What about you? What’s on your menu this year? Please post and share with us.
