New to the raw food thing. I have been a vegan for around 3 months and just started to get into raw. had my first mono meal breakfast april 1st and felt extraordinary so kept including more raw foods and mono meals in my days :)
I still have some vegan cooked in here but always always keeping it low fat high carb
Breakfast:
1/2lb dates and an orange or a 6-banana smoothie
Lunch: Cucumber sandwich (on whole wheat), 1 serving of dates, raisins, prunes, carrots and broccoli
Snack: 2 large apples
Dinner: 1/2cup quinoa, 2cups steamed broccoli, 2cups steamed mushrooms, 2cups cucumber, maybe 1/2cup-1cup beans (black or red kidney)
Snack: 2-banana, 2cup mango, 5cup romaine and 2cup baby spinach smoothie
Occaisionally i have oatmeal and 1tbsp flaxseed for breakfast or 1cup soymilk at night or 1oz of almonds/walnuts to get my fats in (once a week usually for the nuts)
I typically hit 2600kcals a day. Cronometer says i hit my vitamins besides b12 and vitamin D. But i take a multi so i am not worried. This is typical, i will have berries (blueberries, raspberries) during the week too, maybe 4cups total a week
Any improvements i can make? thanks
Loving raw food so much!!
