  • Joannabanana - Good wishes on a fast recovery! I had my wisdom teeth out last year, and survived on bananas mashed with orange juice for a week (this was pre-raw, so I didn't know about smoothies). Make sure to gargle your salt water! My holes got infected and it was a mess.

    Today:

    breakfast: green smoothie (orange, apple, chard)

    snack: 1 banana

    lunch: green smoothie (banana, pear, collards)

    snack: 1 dried banana, a little pineapple (shared from a coworker) raisins

    dinner: large salad (romaine lettuce, 1/2 tomato, peppers, 1 whole avocado)

    dessert: apple pie (apple, walnuts, sunflower seeds, raisins)

    I felt uncertain about eating dessert as I wasn't really hungry after my salad and didn't think I wanted nuts so late, but I had already promised my boyfriend I would make a dessert (he made dinner), so it all worked out. :)

  • joannabananajoannabanana Raw Newbie

    i'm so jealous of everyone's delicious meals!!!

    parsley, a little dessert sometimes just makes you happy. i'm glad it turned out good. also, do you have any tips about what i can do to get rid of the swelling? i look like a squirrel smuggling nuts and just feel really queezy.

  • Yesterday I had

    Banana

    Big salad with lots of leaves, olive oil, olives, toms, cuc, celery with some flax crackers.

    Dinner was amazing I made a sunflower type bread and had that with avo, tom, cuc and dehydrated mushrooms with a garlic cashew mayo and the potato crisps from this site. It was totally wonderful

    Then I had two raw choc's that I had made for Easter!

    Slurp making me hungry.

  • sv3sv3 Raw Newbie

  • RawaholicRawaholic Raw Newbie

    YESTERDAY - 3/10/09

    breakfast: a bowl of raw granola (oats, pecan, coconut. ect...) with a chopped up banana and 3 dollops of coconut vanilla creme. Also, 16 oz. green juice (kale, beet tops, spinach, parsley, apple, celery, lemon, ginger)

    snack: handful of macadamia nuts

    snack/lunch: 1 agave & cashew Raw Revolution bar

    snack: a banana and 2 medjool dates

    dinner: 3 cups of a smoothie (coconut water, banana, mango, bee pollen, maca, flaxseed, raw honey)

  • Pear, Apple, mango, blueberries, hemp milk, kiwi, sprouted wheat, Raw Revolution bar...thats all so far. Plannin on raw gRAWnola! and a large salad of fresh veggie straight from a local organic farm. Is anyone else involved with CSA? Community Supported Agriculture?? Its a great idea if it is available to you!

  • superfood2superfood2 Raw Newbie

    I used to use a CSA about 4 years ago, didn't quite like it, since I like to eat what I feel like on whatever particular day and they didn't have a great variety, except zucchini, zucchini, zucchini, basil, basil. I guess if I ate those two raw together at the time, I might have been happy!

    How are things going with raw eating, Sunrise?

    Today I had:

    Greens/berries/fungus/seaweed powder with green tea

    Green smoothie with apple, banana, collard, kale

    Cucumber-celery-tomato juice

    1 c. pineapple, 1/2 c. strawberries, 1 c. grapes

    3 mangoes

    Green smoothie with apple, mango, banana, collard, kale

    10 cups of mixed sprouts (they are so good.....plus I haven't had a large movement yet today; something is blocking me up; thought they'd help. :( not yet!)

    1 banana (plain, not in smoothie)

    And for when my banana digests, for later when I watch 24 with my boyfriend, I have made a cilantro, kale, collard, romaine, celery, cucumber, and carrot juice with three-seaweed mixture.

    If hungry after that, I will have a raw rice protein shake or a apple and pear.

  • RawaholicRawaholic Raw Newbie

    What a dreary day. It rained, and rained, and rained some more. Being inside made me antsy and hungry. Oh well, hopefully tomorrow will be sunny. If not I'm going to have to go to the gym so I can swim laps or something because I can't stand being cooped up! On the bright side yesterday I was able to obtain FOUR lovely champagne mangos, and today my superfood order came in!! I got some lucuma powder, cacao powder, cacao nibs, cacao beans (sample, can't wait to try them), and Artisana Coconut Butter. :D

    Anyway, moving on, today I had . . .

    Pre-Breakfast: 24 oz. green juice (pear, apple, celery, and parsley)

    Breakfast: 2 slices of raw banana cream pie and 3/4 cup of a superfood smoothie (mango, banana, coconut water, bee pollen, maca, raw honey, flaxseed.)

    Snack: Raw Revolution bar (spirulina)

    Lunch: Some sprouted wild rice with some vegetables I marinated in Nama Shoyu overnight and another slice of raw banana cream pie.

    Juice: 20 oz. Green Juice (kale, carrot, pear, lemon, ginger)

    Dinner: Large Salad (romaine, boston lettuce, spinach, beet tops, tomato, cucumber, peas, leek, avocado, macadamia nuts, hemp seed, nutritional yeast, flaxseed oil, and lemon juice).

    Dessert: 1 big slice of banana cream pie

    By the end of today my mom and I have polished off the entire banana cream pie! Hehe. This recipe I made up myself and I will assuredly be using this pie recipe on my none raw friends. I can't wait to see their faces when they try it and I tell them it's raw. Hehe . . . :D

  • sv3sv3 Raw Newbie

    sv3,

    I'm hoping to post my Banana Cream Pie recipe by the end of this month. I just don't want to post it until I can get the picture uploaded. My camera has not been working right this week but hopefully I can fix it.

    Today I started out drowsy (probably because of the rain). After school though the sun came out and I took my dog for a walk. By the time I got back to the house it was so weird but I had just a HUGE amount of energy to burn! I cleaned my room, my bathroom, did all my laundry, and spent three and a half hours preparing some raw meals in advance for the next couple of days, washing veggies and fruits, starting some sprouts and wheatgrass, and making dinner for my vegetarian brother. All in all a fantastic day!! :)

    Pre-Breakfast: 1 quart of water with lemon wedge (drank over the course of an hour).

    20 oz. Green Juice (apple, pear, celery, parsley)

    Breakfast: 3 cups Green Smoothie (kale, blackberries, banana, bee pollen, flaxseed, coconut water.

    Lunch: Mung Bean Salad (mung beans, shredded carrots, diced heirloom tomato, and a cashew cheese dressing)

    Snack: A couple tablespoons of coconut butter on a chopped champagne mango, and a raw cacao bean.

    Dinner: 1. 25 cups of smoothie (almond mylk, coconut meat, banana, stevia, vanilla extract, and Nuvitas Naturals' Superfruit Antioxidant Blend and Sprouted Omega Blend)

    1 bar of my slightly tweeked version of Shazzie's "Go Go Go Chew" (I just got my superfood in and HAD to make it this afternoon. SO HAPPY!!)

    Later Guys!

  • Hey Joannabanana! How's your mouth feeling? I didn't experience much swelling until I got infected, but what I did was walk around for a day with a clove of garlic shoved down the infected hole. The swelling went down within 4 hours, as did the pain! I bet I was a pain for everyone else though! My boyfriend still managed to kiss me, somehow.

    Today:

    Breakfast: 3 oranges and spinach smoothis

    Lunch: 1 grapefruit and a plantain, apple, collard smoothie

    Snack: 1 plantain, 1/2 apple, 2 collard leaf smoothie

    Dinner: Some cauliflower in "refried beans" from this site, 1/2 bell pepper. Wasn't really hungry

    Post dinner: banana milk, strawberries, dried mango

    How do people feel about eating after dinner or later at night?

  • superfood2superfood2 Raw Newbie

    I eat whenever I want, but if it's later in the day (like after 8 p), I try to keep the sweet fruit to a minimum.

  • joannabananajoannabanana Raw Newbie

    parsley, that garlic trick is an amazing idea!! i have no infections (yet) and my stitches have fallen out. i managed to split open my stitches from trying to eat an avocado roll so now i have a lovely slit in my mouth haha my cheeks are still kind of big and everyone says i look like a chipmunk- lovely, i know.

    my main problem is getting off the drugs the dentist had me on. ever heard of ativan??? i was on it all last week and this week i feel miserable. i haven't slept more than 2 hours a night. my therapist said it's because the ativan takes a week for it to be fully out of my system. i can't wait til that day comes!

  • nycgrrlnycgrrl Raw Newbie

    today:

    3 bananas/strawberries/cacao/e3live smoothie

    Craving something sweet now so may have to have a date or three!

  • joannabananajoannabanana Raw Newbie

    9:00 am breakfast- 1 banana + 2 oranges blended together with water- delicious!!

    11:15 mid-morning snack- 3 bananas

    12:30 lunch- 1 1/2 lb red seedless grapes

    i'll probably have a huge spinach salad when i get home from school around 3:30 or 4. does anyone else really like spinach?? i sometimes just have a big bowl of plain spinach with nothing on it. it has such a salty taste. i'll probably throw some olives and sundried tomatoes on it. i'm in the mood for a mediterranean meal.

  • superfood2superfood2 Raw Newbie

    I get 16 0z. containers of spinach and sit there like some people eat popcorn and eat the whole thing!

  • RawaholicRawaholic Raw Newbie

    Spinach all by itself is simply delightful. Lots of people enjoy fruit mono meals, so why shouldn't some people find veggie mono meals just as scrumptious?

    I swam laps today and walked/jogged a couple miles as well as spending a couple hours in the kitchen making my family some vegan (but not raw cookies), because they begged me to. Hehe . . . :)

    Pre-Breakfast: Quart of water w/ pinch of sea salt.

    Breakfast/Workout Recovery Meal: 3.5 cups green smoothie (2 kale leaves, hemp seed, flaxseed, 6 dates, cinnamon, 2 bananas).

    Snack: 18 oz juice (beet, carrot, apple, orange, grape).

    Dinner: 2.5 cups (banana, brazil nut mylk, vanilla, stevia, Nuvitas Naturals' Superfruit Antioxidant Blend, and Nuvitas Naturals' Omega Blend) and another Go Go Go Chew Bar.

    2 bananas, 2 mangoes

    Acai banana berry smoothie (and half of my friend's coconut/mango/banana smoothie!)

    2 raw cocoa/mint bars

    Snack:
