Okay, so I am trying to go raw and I keep falling off the wagon. The biggest problem is I don’t know what to eat. I have been reading books and doing research, but I can’t find a simple meal plan. I am a teacher, so I need the equivalent to lesson plans with my food. What should I eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks? I usually plan my meals out every Sunday for the week. But the only thing that I have mastered is a smoothie for breakfast (and I’m not even sure if I’m doing that right). I take a salad for lunch, but I get bored with that. Please help me.

Maybe you could pick a few key ingredients you have or would like to try & type them in the ‘recipe’ section & see what comes up. There are so many smoothie ideas, different types of salads (maybe try a slaw), veggie wraps, sun burgers, soups, etc.
Thanks raw_mama. After I posted, I started looking at the smoothie recipes and they are great. So I am going to try them. I didn’t think about switching up my salad. I will look that up too.
Also try adding fruits to your salads. Think raisins, pineapple, apples, oranges, anything to give the veggies a little zip! It’s delicious! The more colors you have in your salads, the more appatizing they will be! (and more nutrients!) I know that sometimes there isn’t alot of time to chop up fruits and veggies, but there are some great “slicers” out there! You could even pick up a cheap one from wal mart.
I truly appreciate all of the knowledge and advice that you all are giving me!
Rawrider, I going to walmart today and look for a slicer. Sky Princess, great resource, I’ll check it out. Pianissima :-) you are wonderful, thank you for the breakdown. newbie, I’m still working on trying new recipes….I still haven’t figured out what “nori” is.Again, thank you all, I really needed some suport and I am implementing all of your ideas.
Culinarydiva: I find Karen Knowler’s site, http://www.therawfoodcoach.com/ very useful, she has lots of “new to raw foods” resources. In this document – http://www.therawfoodcoach.com/pdfs/So_You_Want… – you can find a menu planning document on page 16 – http://karenknowler.typepad.com/living_in_the_r…
I think it’s exactly what you’re looking for!
