There's only one problem with raw food

[livenraw]

There's so much variety, it's sometimes hard for me to figure out what I want to eat! So I'll sit there and ponder:

should I make a salad?

A smoothie?

Just grab a banana?

Should I whip up a date nut torte?

Or should I make my mockolate pudding?

Should I just grab a handful of nuts?

I mean, that's the only problem with raw: there's just so much...so much FREEDOM! Heh...maybe too much FREEDOM :)

The freedom has taken me a long time to get used to. Ironic, isn't it, considering that most people think raw is boring. Ha! I have eaten more of a variety in the past ten months than ever before.

What I do is take little bits of everything. In one bowl I'll put some salad, a dollop of guacamole, sneak in a chunk of the pizza crust, and then have fruit on the side. Eating a couple bites of everything that sounds good is the only solution I have come up with.

Ha! Like John Lennon once said, "There are no problems, only solutions..."

Wow, I SO agree with this!! I love my avocado & mango salad with macadamia nut/mango dressing - but then there's my chocolate banana almond nut milk shake that I am SO in love with that I can have an entire Vitamix full per day! And there's blueberries......ice cold watermelon eaten straight out of the God-made "bowl"...........icy cold pineapple cut in chunks that tastes like sugar on the cane from Hawaii.....OH! And freshly made guacamole salsa with organic cold carrots to dip in it.

Ha! I'm going shopping today.....can you tell!? Lots to buy, lots to make! The only thing I struggle with is that I *really* want to make sure I get at least one green smoothie in per day (as in, 13oz of blended greens or so) especially since I'm pregnant. I can't afford to eat an unbalanced diet when I'm responsible for this little soul. But I have too many other things to eat that are wayyyy more appealing! So I'm forcing myself to drink that green smoothie in the morning, then be done with it, and I can have whatever I want after that.

YUM! I love my "diet"! :D
