Next I did a quick cardio to get my heart rate up and focus on some abs--I did this routine three (3) times through!! Just keep hitting replay.

Then I did a Barre routine for butt and thighs--felt like I was back to my ballet days ;)

Slammed my water, actually needed 16 more ounces I was sweating really badly. Took a shower and then blended a green, fruity soup. 

Here is today's recipe:


Bananas--4 to 5

1 C frozen fruit (Trader Joe's Organic Mixed Berry Blend)


3 C greens a combo of baby kale, spinach and Dino Kale





Few sprigs of dill


Water to blend to your desired consistency


40 oz of goodness...this is no whimpy meal. Most people wouldn't even  imagine eating this much smoothie/blended soup at one time, but those of you that are familiar with eating a low fat raw vegan diet can relate. Because fruits and veggies are low in calories you need to eat a lot of them in order to meet your caloric needs. This also helps stave off cravings of unhealthy foods.

 Dinner:


1/2 of a large pineapple, sprinkled with fresh dill




16 oz infused water


A few hours later made a smoothie of 3 bananas, 1/2 C water, 3 C fresh

 pineapple, 2 C organic baby spinach



16 oz infused water a couple of hours after my smoothie and then off to bed


+JMJ+ Today I am grateful for a great day filled with great food and a really tough workout!!

Another Salad Dressing Post

-
Today I would like to share some really great raw salad dressings. Wait, aren't all salad dressings considered raw? No they are not. Remember, you have to be very careful about the ingredients you use. Raw salad dressings are as unprocessed as possible. Using ingredients that are as close as possible to their natural state. That is why I choose first cold pressed olive oils, unpasteurized apple cider vinegar and coconut vinegar, fresh herbs, vegetables and fruits. You get the picture. But keep in mind sometimes I will use a small amount of ingredients that may not be truly raw. For example, real maple syrup is heated to reduce the amount of water content and to make the syrup into what it is when we purchase it in jars. And I am pretty sure balsamic vinegar is not raw. I still love the taste sometimes in dressings so I don't mind using a tiny amount. I am not an extreme raw foodist . If I choose to eat something that is not raw I am fine with that. Keep it simple or ...

~ JMJ ~ I am happy to start posting on my new blog. I should introduce myself first. I am a wife and a mother of five children. I home school all of my children for religious and academic reasons. I choose to eat a raw living food diet. I love raw food and how this living food makes me feel. I have been eating raw living foods since November, 2009. My goal is to consume foods as close as possible to the way they appear in nature, the way God created them to be. Here I will share my experiences with the raw food lifestyle and great recipes I make/create each day. I will share raw food recipes, my sprouting adventures, square foot gardening and container gardening, favorite raw food book titles, raw food products, kitchen appliances, and tools that have helped me with food preparation. From time-to-time I just might share some homeschooling thoughts, experiences, ideas, and tips. I will also take time to reflect back on my days and find all the ways I can experience g...

Each year we make it a point to travel up to our favorite spot in the mountains. Some times we even get up there twice in one year. We decided to plan a our trip during the week that we normally attend the Homeschooling Conference. This year I just didn't feel the need to go to the conference and preferred a relaxing week in the mountains instead. This is the new cabin we chose. It is in the same area that we always go but we wanted to try staying at a different cabin for some variety. The cabin was lovely and we loved the property. Our views were stunning.  Almost every night we enjoyed a blazing camp fire and even some glutenfree, vegan smores. We even could go on hikes right down the hill of the property we were renting. The kids had a blast exploring all that nature has to offer. We did many other fun things with the children to enjoy our time together. We took some of them horseback riding and the rest of us enjoyed following along in a c...
