Raw Food Vegan Recipes: Day 3 and 4 of Raw Eatings
My desire for food has diminished of the last couple of days. It is not gone by any means, but I am just not ravenous hungry. Last night, however, I had a craving for bread... but that went away since. Morning of Day 2 I started off by eating half of medium size Galia melon, later followed by a pear. For LUNCH I made Raw Taco Soup, although this time I used 4 tomatoes, added 1/4 green bell pepper and reduced water to 2 cups to make it thicker. It was filling! By about 4 pm I finally down the extra Banana Pear Green Smoothie I made yesterday. Dinner Dinner was more eventful. I whipped up two batches of Raw Borsh, and my husband asked for a crunchy salad, so I made him one of those too. Raw Borsh [Soup] Feeds 4 Ingredients Part I ~4 cups warm water ~2 large stalks celery ~3 cups white or red cabbage ~3 tbs white onion ~1-2 garlic cloves ~5 tbs apple cider vinegar ~1 tbs balsamic vinegar ~1/2 bell pepper [any color, but I used red] ~3 tbs [or about 4-5 springs] parsley ~2 medium carrots ~3 cups [2 smaller size] beets ~1 small-medium avocado ~1/2 cup cashews ~1 tsp Kirkland organic seasoning ~1.5 tsp Himalayan salt [or to taste] ~black or white pepper to taste Part II ~1 cucumber, shredded ~1 cup shredded cabbage ~1 cup green peas ~2 tbs chopped dill ~2 Roma tomatoes, cubed Preparation ~Blend all Part I ingredients in a high speed blender until smooth (about 60 seconds) [I use Soup setting on Blendtec Total Blender ~Pour into a bowl and add remaining ingredients; mix together~Let marinate for 20-30 minutes ~Store in a fridge, if you don't finish the whole portion ~Enjoy! Life is that simple! Crunchy Sesame Salad Ingredients ~5-6 leaves of dark leaf lettuce, torn into eatable pieces, or 3 cups of spinach ~1/2 red or orange pepper sliced into thing long slices ~1 Roma tomato sliced lenghtwise ~1 tbs toasted sesame seed oil ~Himalayan or sea salt to taste ~sprinkle of you favorite seasoning on top Toss all ingredients together and serve! Day 4 Morning Smoothie Ingredients ~3 cups water ~3 springs mint ~1 orange ~1 mango ~1 banana ~2 tbs dulse ~6 oz dark leafy lettuce ~dates or honey for sweetness, if lacking I had a great workout and followed it up with 1 glass of mint water kefir [I will blog about that in the future]. After that I made Cabbage salad and more Raw Borsh [borscht, if you will ;)]. Cabbage Salad ~3/4 large cabbage, shredded very thinly ~1 cup yellow corn ~1 cup green peas ~2-3 tbs fresh dill, chopped ~sea or Himalayan salt to taste Optional ~1 tbs Vegenaise [vegan mayo] Preparation ~after shredding cabbage add salt and massage it into the cabbage with your hands for 1-2 minutes--this will let the juices out ~add remaining ingredients and let marinate for 10-15 minutes before serving ~Enjoy! In the afternoon I attended a graduation party for my niece--she is smart, talented and beautiful--the whole package! We all are so proud of her. Zarina was a salutatorian of her class [along with a few more students]. On the way to the party I scored myself a whole flat of STRAWBERRIES! I missed fresh strawberries so much over the last year that I think I might overdose on them :) At the party I ate a HUGE green salad, which satisfied me until I got home... that is when true OVERdosing on strawberries happened. I made a couple of serving of a wonderful, refreshing strawberry smoothie, had Galia melon, some raw borsh, and more strawberries. Strawberry Banana Smoothie ~1.5 cups water ~2 quarts strawberries ~4 mint leaves [optional] ~2 tbs honey ~2 bananas Blend everything until smooth. then add 2 cups of ice and crush on a slower speed. MMMMMM..... MMMMMMM... so good! Stay tuned for Day 5 Raw Food intake, as I explored the wonderful world of Raw Desserts [imagine strawberry pudding and strawberry chocolate cheesecake.... YUM!] Happy Raw Eatings! Drop me a note and tell me if you had tried any of the recipes yet.
