More Raw Food Headlines


Finally a dietician who is teaching raw: Courier Press
Also, an article on how the raw food movement is taking hold in Bali: The Australian

I really hear David Wolfe's words in my head from 10-13 years ago when I read all these articles today and see how raw food is spreading.He used to talk about how raw foods were just gonna be the accepted norm. Well, we aren't there yet, but man is it spreading like wildfire! It is so funny to have to explain raw food to people, because it is the most natural thing in the world. Instead people would rather argue as to why its natural to kill an animal. Poor human beings. We all do come around eventually though.

Stuffed Cabbage Raw Salad Lunch


This wasn't really a salad, but my "Southern Greens" recipe made with just swiss chard. After it was done, I put it in a red cabbage shell and ate it like a burrito. I put tomato slices on my husbands (see pic). I love red cabbage; it is extremely high in vitamin K. Let food be your medicine... as all crucifers are high in antioxidant phytonutrients, helping our body eliminate harmful compounds! It was incredibly delicious and satisfying!

Today I also had a flax cracker with some mac/pinenut/herb spread, both also in my recipe ebook along with the special greens recipe above. This morning I had my green stamina smoothie, also in my recipe book, that was particularly delicious, with broccoli sprouts! So I've certainly gotten my fair share of magic cruciferous vegetables today!

Raw Vegans Thin But Healthy ~ 2005 Study

Have you seen already the 2005 Reuters article? "People who follow a raw food vegetarian diet are light in weight but healthy, according to US researchers."

Today we went to the farmers market in Santa Monica because I am really transitioning to eating mostly fruit, and needed a larger supply then what I find at the Pacific Palisades market on Sundays. We got fresh squeezed blood orange juice, and a special treat I haven't allowed myself in years....dates! We got amazing fruits....sapotes, passion fruits, organic strawberries and blueberries, amazing cherry tomatoes (best ever!), and lots of greens, sprouts, and olives. We also got baby artichokes that I have marinated in a big jar with lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and herbs to eat RAW!

I've been fasting all week from fats and solid foods, so when we went to Rawvolution and Mark got a piece of raw pie and I had a few bites, it made me really sick. I really don't like agave and cashews, I have never liked agave, these things just don't sit well with me, but the pie was really good however. Then I had a huge cup of ORMUS tea that TOTALLY made me feel better. It was awesome! Felt like I was drinking healing dirt :-). And it was very healing. I can't wait to get some of this tea to have at home. It is very pricey but I think worth it. Then I had an E3 live coconut shake which also made me feel better.

Then we ate fresh strawberries, tomatoes, dates, and olives this afternoon, and this evening ate a huge purple cabbage shell with a swiss chard creamy mix on the inside I call "Southern Creamy Greens" in my recipe eBook. I might have some fresh papaya later this evening. I also had Premier's Oncaplex this morning like I do every morning as well as some Phytoplankton and Max Stress B Complex. The first few years I went raw I used to eat E3 live every day, now I can't afford it, but hope to again soon as it is the best ever!

Raw Food Lunch



This is what we had for lunch today. A "cheese" spread and raw cracker both detailed in my new recipe ebook. As usual we had our Stamina Morning Superfood Smoothie and dinner will be a huge bowl of chopped greens with herbs, lemon juice, and apple cider vinegar. Then I'm off to teach 2 hours of Yoga in Pacific Palisades. Enjoy!
