Raw Kitchen Tales

Breakfast: Groovy Tangy Raw Smoothie (recipe from Green Appetite)

• 1 banana
• 1 kiwi
• 1/2 cup frozen raspberries
• Small piece of fresh ginger
• 1 cup filtered water

Combine everything in the blender.

Lunch: Raw Tomato Soup

Another repeat soup.

Dinner: Raw Veggie Bowl

Quick & easy supper tonight. I pretty much threw all the veggies that I needed to use up in a bowl and topped with olive oil and lemon. My bowl used: zucchini (julienned), broccoli, romaine lettuce, orange bell pepper, cucumber, carrots (julienned), mango, parsley and mint. Normally I would have put some tomato in there too, but I left it out today because I had tomato soup for lunch.

Dessert: Raw Raspberry Delight (my own creation)

• 1 cup cashews, soaked for at least 3 hours
• 1/4 cup raw coconut oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 2-4 tablespoons raw sweetener (depending on taste)
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (alcohol free or use seeds from a vanilla bean)
• 2 handfuls of raspberries
• water

Combine everything in the blender. Add enough water to make it blend. Pour into dessert cups and chill for a few hours. Garnish with mint (if you want). This one is so delicious I couldn't stop eating it!
