"Eat Food. Not too much. Mostly plants.""-Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food.

Just a few things on my regular high-raw menu today while I am easing into a diet that is RAW in entirety. Seemingly a minor alteration for already full-fledged vegan, (that does admit to having a bite of sticky toffee pudding last week, no thanks to you G) going raw does require a good amount of research/preparation to adequately satisfy my nutritional needs, and MORE importantly my appetite.

Breakfast smoothie (kale, spinach, banana, the last handful of blueberries on my tree, water, and a scoop of micro greens, a nutrient rich SUPERFOOD) Not the tastiest of green mystery powders; definitely something that takes some growing accustomed to. BUT since your insides will undoubtedly love it, your tastes buds will soon follow…

Lunch consisted of 3 veggie sides from my favorite new soho spot; raw carrot salad with cilantro, almonds, and a hint of cinnamon, green beans with coconut cashew dressing, and a kale salad with marinated plums. (Mind you, this is not completely raw due to the blanched green beans, but it is an easy fix either by not cooking them or substituting with asparagus, which is more palatable raw veggie;  I am learning quickly that I need to start preparing all of my own food if I want to be successful!)
Snack: handful of raw almonds and a cinnamon stripe cookie from One Lucky Duck, the takeaway counterpart to Pure Food and Wine; more to come about Sarma and her raw-food refuge at a later time. I am quacked out.

Sweet Greens,
