Apparently if you eat one raw meal a day you will have a lot more energy. "Raw" meaning un cooked fruits and veggies- and no processed foods- IE no processed salad dressings-no juices from concentrate or pasteurized fruit juices. At least that is my understanding. A full raw diet is supposed to be very good for you. It boosts your immune system and cleanses your body. It gives you energy and helps you loose weight. I am all about the energy and boosted immune system. I'm also about getting my kids to get enough fruits and veggies. I am not that disciplined and too lazy to figure out the correct food combos to ensure maximum nutrition and full proteins...so for now I'll try one raw meal a day and I'm trying to get in one green smoothie a day. I'm not so good at it. So far we have done green smoothies several times a week...but I love my carbs, so it is hard to do one raw meal a day.
Jake loves his green smoothies and often has a green mustache.
here is what Maesyn thinks of green smoothies...
My green smoothies are just fruit smoothies with baby spinach in them. When it is on sale I buy tons of bags and then put them in the freezer. A simple combo is fresh oranges and spinach...but it is green. Maes will eat them if i have berries in them- black berries and raspberries make them dark purple. Spinach is a super food. If I have left over smoothie I will make pop cycles out of them.
