I just came back from a week at a Teen Girls camp where I was one of the Cabin Leaders and survived a week on raw food.
So the week prior I made a week's worth of Raw meals for me, my mom and sister who would also be going. For breakfast I usually had a Spirulina shake with fruit or fruit salad chopped up or raw oatmeal with raisins, lunch was usually salad or a nori wrap with a fruit roll up or nuts and dates, dinner was either the salad, nori wrap or crackers with a spread, and then a fruit for dessert or fudge balls or raw energy balls. The thing was my sister did all the meal prep for me which made it easy. So I got to thinking how could I do this if I had to make the meals myself?
As a Cabin Leader I'm with the kids all the time but there is always another leader so I could leave for a little bit to prep some things but I'd like things that are just grab and go but still meet my needs. Any ideas out there?
I thought Spirulina health bars would be one idea, and the raw oatmeal soaked the night before with a banana and agave would work, also the nori wraps dont take much prep time either. I would just ask the kitchen for some fridge space and could go in and get things as I need.
I'd love some other thoughts on this as I plan to go up again next year.
