To be honest, it's taken me a while to do one. I've had the green machine or the green smoothies from odwalla and naked, but I had never made one on my own. I was a little daunted. Part of me couldn't believe that spinach could taste so good with bananas and strawberries! I ended up doing 2 bananas, 1/4 raw wheat germ, 5-6 frozen strawberries, spinach to the top of the carafe and about 12 oz of almond milk. So delicious

I have basil pesto and cashew cheese in the freezer and I have ...

Well, for me it's a bit too early to determine, as I've only been completely raw a solid week now but it's 3:40 am and i woke myself up with a horrible nightmare. First, I tend to have some very bizarro dreams. In color. Incredibly vivid. Later in the morning they'll be lucid.

This dream was like others I've had before. I suppose you could even call it a recurring dream because the style is so similar each time. I'm driving/riding my scooter/riding a bike and I will completely lose ...

I can't believe I didn't see this coming. No, I'm not stressing about this, but I am feeling the negative effects. Live and learn.

I mixed 1.5 cups coconut milk with juice of 2 limes, 1 lemon, 4 cloves garlic, a grated thumb size piece of ginger, 1 tablespoon agave syrup, 1 serrano chile and whizzed it up in the vitamix. I also added a few drops of fish sauce, not convinced that it was going to ruin my progress. In the bowl I topped it with a handful of mung bean sprouts, 1 portabella cap ...

I'm sitting here having banana cobbler for dessert after about a liter of my green V8. Getting stuffed. So delicious. James faux cried over the deliciousness level of the cobbler.

Yesterday was a pretty good day overall, although it was not 100% raw. Went out with the friends to a great Nicaraguan restaurant and they had basically zero raw things on their menu. I had zucchini stuffed empanadas that were good and 2 small glasses of red wine. It's not the end of the world and I was really ...
