The only way I could get back to sleep last night was to plan my morning smoothie, which somehow convinced my body back to dreamland. OK, body, I get it. You really want the smoothies to be a regular habit.
I'm in.
BREAKFAST:
1 cup almond milk
2 cups spinach
1 cup parsley
1 cup kale
1 banana
1 scoop Green Superfood.
1 T raw ginger
juice from 1 lemon.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
while I'm enjoying tea and home made cocoa and warm meals, there's nothing like a whole pile of raw food to get you going. I crave raw fruits and vegetables like I never did before this cleanse.
I've fallen into a current routine of raw smoothie + green tea for breakfast, raw lunch and raw snacks throughout the day, and a hot meal in the evenings. I've gotten used to not having a hot breakfast, and the tea warms me up so I'm good to go.
green smoothie + green tea = breakfast of CHAMPIONS! If you, like me, often find that green tea on a sorta empty stomach can make you nauseous, add a T of avocado or raw peanut butter to your smoothie- the fat will help coat your tummy so the green tea won't upset it. I am a delicate flower, apparently.
while I'm thinking on it, here's my go-to
VEGAN HOT CHOCOLATE RECIPE
1.5 cups almond milk (or milk sub of your choice.)
1 heaped T of raw organic cocoa powder
2 heaped T of raw organic cane sugar
whisk the sugar and the cocoa powder into the almond milk in a small pot on the stove. Whisk occasionally until good and warm (it will boil over super fast if you get it too hot, it *must* be watched.)
If you made this with a candy thermometer in the side of the pot, you could make sure it didn't get heated up too much and would still be raw foods.
I think I might have *just* been inspired to make chocolate apple flax crisps. Stay tuned!
