Day 3 of my Raw Food Fast!

Okay! So here I am, a new morning with so much I have owned up to when it comes to eating.  I see how I catch myself  wanting to mindlessly eat.  I believe if you can't tell me I can't ....I might find a way.  What a great way to see/keep my self in "check"!  I really had to be creative.  Being a Vegan with cooked/raw foods is a great way to get through any day. I have had so much fun cooking, juicing and creating a much healthier version of my favorite foods. But going Raw for this week has been at times a challenge.  My hat is off to those who have more will power to stay in this form of eating.

My menu for this week has been Raspberry and Mint Smoothies, Broccoli Salad with dried cranberries, Alfredo Zucchini Noodles...so yummy!  My goal is to not eat the same thing every day. (creature of habit),  even though I am tempted. 

My snacks have been fruit~ ANY!  I am spoiled by those health bars...so I having them around to grab anytime...but now...it is fruit.
Staring at my son's Vegan cookies that are in our fruit bowl...has truly been the biggest temptation...oh just one bite! Right! Not! So then I remembered...aha, let's make my raw vegan choc chip no bake cookies (in about five minutes!) I was saved from above ;)  These are very easy, quick and did the trick.  Here  is the recipe below:

Shopping has been so interesting too. Shopping only in the nuts, vege and fruit isles...what a snap.  Now off to home with a beat in my step, so now my thougts are of course  I can do this :)

My son helps me with the food processor and I chase my husband around...asking him to "try this honey"!  I even exercised first thing (arms) this morning before beginning the day.  Fun in the kitchen...They say it is the "nuturing" part of the home!  So make it a great day! Add a vege or fruit and do something good for yourself.
