@Magglepie I told my family last night that i think I'm going to stay raw and they FLIPPED OUT! They were saying stuff like I'm going to have vitamin deficiencies and i won't get enough protein, and...

@ mayaya welcome! I saw a video a while back and its helped me with being raw while still not going broke. She said to eat what's in season, since you'll get the prices. It makes a lot of sense too....

@ carolv what is in a raw snickers? Do you buy them or make them?

It was sooooooo good and now im...

I know I haven't checked in much, but I'm still going strong. Today is day 32 for me, I'm going to see how far I can take this because I feel so great, despite the constipation from all the bananas....

I subbed a cuke for the zucchini and I also added tomato.

Happy Saturday everyone! :)
Even though I haven't had time to post everyday, I am proud to say I've been raw for 24 days now! Yay! I'm glad everyone here has helped me stay focused and motivated....

I didn't make anything for breakfast since today was my (un)cooking day!
I knew I'd be tasting everything and it would add up to a meal anyway.

Today I made more marinara and salsa along with...

Thanks to everyone who recommended I add banana.

Sooo much better. I added ice too so I know that's helping! I'm virtually gulping this thing down now.

@robh .....I can completely agree about not having to preach. I notice people at work starting to bring healthier raw veggie snacks with them. I think I started a revolution!

To all asking; my smoothie was romaine lettuce, mint, oranges,and some blueberry. My guess is that i just didn't blend it long enough. I'm going to try and add bananas to it and see what happens.

Hmmmm....I made my first green smoothie today!

I am trying to force myself through it though since...
