How Do You Keep it Interesting?
September 29, 2009
When eating a healthy diet, how do you keep it interesting? Specifically, when eating a raw food diet, it’s important to change up what you eat from time to time. That way, it doesn’t get boring and also adds nutrients you don’t normally get when eating all the same things everyday.
You can change fruits and veggies according to what’s in season. Or you can vary what you put in your green salads to include veggies, seeds, nuts, dates, etc.
Just changing things a little or adding something different to your regular routine meals makes you look forward to it more.
Having said that, I eat the same thing for breakfast everyday, but do vary what I have for lunch and dinner. Snacks are pretty much fruit and seeds and nuts.
What do you do? Do you eat mainly the same things everyday? Or do you change it up often?

Got something to say?
I keep it simple, but from time to time, I like to change too. I’ll give you an example.
Ex. I had fruit for breakfast today, well tomorrow, I’ll have a green smoothie and it will not have any of the fruit that I ate today and the greens will be different from what I ate today.
I’m trying to venture out and try new things, because I know that eating a variety of foods is really good, but it is very hard for me to do.
We are starting to open up our favorite “cookbooks” from the past and doing recipe conversions! It’s not as difficult as you think. So far we have done a couple Thai recipes, and next we will be working on Indian food recipes. If you liked ethnic food before going raw, why stop? That’s how we have kept it interesting. Yes smoothies for breakfast are a must. We never make the same one. Lunches are leftovers, veggie sandwiches or wraps, dinner is never the same!
