    It has been one year since this thread began. Can you believe it? Looking back on some of my older posts here has shown me how far I have come in my raw journey as well as the progress of others. Amazing thread!

    Yesterday:

    21 Ataulfo Mangoes

    15 Strawberries

    10 Bananas

    Today:

    Fresh squeezed OJ all day! :-)

    My Whole Foods was selling Ataulfo Mango for 99 cents a piece! When I saw that I went over to one of the employees stocking the shelfs, asked him for one of his empty boxes, and filled it to the brim with mango. Two words were running through my head while I was doing thie, "JACK POT!" :-D LOL

    Blimey, can't believe it's been a year since this thread started!

    It's funny looking back at my old eating habits - some things are exactly the same and other things (like nut/seed pates) I've not touched for yonks.

    It's probably due to all the fruit lovers on this site but I'd say my fruit consumption has grown considerably. :-)

    Feel like I've been neglecting my salad intake recently though, so should really start making more of an effort. Now spring has sprung this will hopefully come naturally.

    Today...

    Banana, spinach and blueberry smoothie

    carrots & hummus

    mixed veggies and aubergine pesto with n'yeast sprinkled on top

    handful of raisins

    few figs

    Dinner later will be a fruit salad of melon, pineapple, mango and grapes. YUM!

  • swayzeswayze Raw Newbie

    My Costco ALWAYS sells Ataulfos for $.99 each...and I thought that was high! :P

    Swayze

     

  • RawaholicRawaholic Raw Newbie

    My Whole Food usually sells them for a $1.50 a piece! I wish I had your COSTCO.

  • I. Freakin'. Love. Ataulfos.

  • RawaholicRawaholic Raw Newbie

    Got some more Ataulfo Mangoes today! Guess what I am eating tomorrow? Hehe.

    Today:

    2 large apples chopped up and covered in caramel sauce (8 medjool dates + 2 small bananas)

    12.5 cups chapped canteloupe melon

    9 frozen bananas blended into ice cream with 170g of raspberries sprinkled on top

  • joannabananajoannabanana Raw Newbie

    my blender broke a few days ago and it's been torture! i never knew how much i relied on it. my dad brought his blender over to my house today, thank heavens! i made a strawberry banana smoothie asap and it has never tasted so delicious and creamy.

  • sv3sv3 Raw Newbie

    Rawaholic, I like the sound of your caramel sauce - I'm going to give it a try!

  • cupcakes revengecupcakes revenge Raw Newbie

    I had half a green almond milk smoothie (the strawberries were sour and magic bullets suck so it was not good - like as in they don't properly blend things and there were chunks of spinach ick!) and raw banana bread for breakfast (recipe at http://kellysfacesmells.blogspot.com/2009/07/what-im-eating-right-now.html)

    the raw chef's nut free bread for snack (well, an adaptation of it)

    salad for lunch

    raspberries for afternoon snack

    a couple of walnuts and dates for 2nd afternoon snack

    raw chef's wilted kale salad with my own dressing for dinner (dressing = lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, jalapeno pepper)

  • RawaholicRawaholic Raw Newbie

    sv3, I hope you enjoy the sauce! It's so sweet and delicous that if it weren't raw I would swear it was bad for me. LOL!

    Today:

    2 Honeydew Melons

    10 Navel Oranges

    15 Ataulfo Mangoes

    My last Chocolate Sapote

  • it's been awhile

    yesterday

    half a watermelon

    6 bananas 2 containers of strawberries- smoothie soup

    10 dates

    head of romaine + some grape tomatoes and red pepper(while using some of those dates)

    kinda like a big sandwich

    and then the rest of the tomatoes with some destringed celery in a bowl

    today

    2 cantolopes

    4 apples +10 dates mixed like a pudding

    6 bananas and 2 containers of strawberries-smoothie soup

    the same romaine sandwich only this time i added a little dill

    and i'll probably do the tomato cerlery thingy again

    yum

  • awe joannabanana :( i feel for you, i love my blender, mine broke last week and got a new one immediatley after. like i mean right after. yay for dads though. im happy he pulled through for you. i couldn't handle not having a smoothie for very long either:)

  • cupcakes revengecupcakes revenge Raw Newbie

    joannabanana that sucks! My blender broke a while ago and all I've had to use is a crappy magic bullet. Let me tell you, they are NOT your friend for green smoothies. Or for anything! My cashew ice cream had blatant chunks of cashews in it! and my green smoothie had whole chunks of spinach - NOT appealing in a breakfast beverage.

  • ladydaventryladydaventry Raw Newbie

    Brekkie - 1 small rockmelon

    Snack - 3 bananas and 3 mini sugar bananas

    Lunch - 2 small cherimoya, 200 red grapes

    Snack - 6 peaches

    Dinner - small avo with lime juice and 3 carrot to dip

    2 hours later - 200g spinach with 200g grape tomatoes, 1 cucumber

    Naughty late night snack - sugar bananas!

  • joannabananajoannabanana Raw Newbie

    colleen and cupcakes, my dad's blender sucks, too haha sometimes you just can't win, but it's better than not having one at all. i've been a on big frozen banana ice cream kick and this blender takes 20 minutes to blend frozen fruits. my absolute favorite right now it 3 cups frozen strawberries and 3 ripe bananas (or the other way around- 3 cups ripe strawberries and 3 frozen bananas- both ways are insanely good). you have to try it. i use about a 1/3-1/2 cup water to get my blender going. it's just so simple but it reminds me of Rita's when I'd get strawberry Misto shakes!! ahaha

  • yummmmm. yes i totally love frozen strawberries and bananas. lately i have been able to get fresh strawberries ppetty cheap so i'm mowing down on those. sooo good. my favorite combonation right now for sure., is strawberry and bananas yum yum yum!! :)i really like your poher smoothie too, i was addicted for a while, the ones with the grapes too. i haven't tried it with frozen bananas yet. i think i definatley must try it, i completey trust in your smoothie creations : )

    awe that's too bad about the blender. wowza, 20 minutes that's a forever blender, i feel for you. i guess it is better than nothing though, i hope a new one falls in your hands soon :)

  • RawaholicRawaholic Raw Newbie

    I feel for you guys out there without a decent blender right now. I remember how it felt for my last summer when my blender broke, not fun. It was two weeks before I was able to get a new blender. I dind't really realize just how much I used my blender until I didn't have one.

  • sv3sv3 Raw Newbie
