Hi fellows, I had a really great week and made some big learning steps in my healthy living learning process. I will post more about them in my next post where I will be reviewing a great new book I bought.
I am experiencing some cravings for fatty foods (nuts and seeds) especially in the evenings, but I am working on this, by eating some fruits after dinner and after 18:00, I am trying to find a balance there. My cravings for bread have gone away! Yeah!
I’ve been doing experiments with a nut-bag for draining and blending vegetables with my vita-mix, and I am loving it :) I’m now taking in a lot vegetables that I would otherwise not eat that often and not in these quantities (like raw beet roots, raw cabbage, raw zucchini)
New goodies and some dehydrated nuts and crackers, I really love the spices on those nuts, but they probably aren’t that healthy…
My attempt at broccoli soup, but it tasted horrible ;( I had to add a lot of vegetable broth to make it more tasteful… I am not going to make this again anytime soon!
The result, looks a bit weird, but I don’t judge foods anymore on appearance, since blended vegetables or vegetable stews also don’t look appealing but are very healthy and can be delicious too.
Post-workout smoothie with sunwariour protein chocolate powder, with water and four dates blended, tasted pretty good.
Nom Nom Nom melon, just scoop it with a spoon ;)
Banana, blueberry with a few cherries smoothie, my returning favourite.
Wednesday refill :)
Big salad with nuts and seeds.
Frozen bananas with walnuts, carob, cacao and vanilla raw agave syrup. Mixed in the magimix until smooth. Makes a very delicious meal. Had this for lunch :) Sadly frozen/cold foods should be taken very moderate, due to digestion issues and intestinal flora damages.
I mixed some of the sauce through the mixture to make a chocolate ice cream look.
It’s going to be salad week ;) this time with the dehydrated and spiced nuts I bought.
My weekly apple sauce with nothing else then blended apples.
Look an other salad O_o
And a variation of my chocolate ice cream this time with a cup frozen and a cup of fresh strawberries, without any carob nibs.
Loving the magimix :)
And the delicious result.
And an other big salad with some steamed zucchini. I really like zucchini steamed. Some steamed vegetables can be a very good completion to a mostly raw diet!
Starting to experiment with making juices with my vita-mix blender and a nut bag for straining, so we see the pulp on the left and the juice on the right. It is amazing how much vegetables you can juice and the taste is very different when juiced. It seems almost sweet to me. I added a bit of lemon juice in this batch.
Pears to be blended and strained.
Very good! I see it oxidized very soon or it may be the seeds that where also blended.
One of my favourite Mexican mix meals :)
So good!
My precious mango’s!
About one litre of vegetable juice, with only one beet root, turning it all red!
Fruit refill :) See those small mango’s on the right, They are the best mango’s I ever tasted!
And a picture of the refrigerator, more home-grown vegetables where incoming from our garden.
Making my own invented salad dressing, with avocado, mustard, one tp agave nectar and water. (the salt and black pepper should be avoided next time)
It was a very good first attempt, next time a little bit less water.
About one litre of fresh orange juice with lots of pulp. I love this stuff, but oranges are acid-fruits and I try to eat them only two times a week.
Vegetable juice, lots of spinach so very green :)
One tb of walnut butter and sunwarior chocolate flavoured protein powder as post-workout smoothie. (this was on a Thursday evening)
About eight large apples blended with some cinnamon agave syrup as post-workout lunch after doing a nice sunny 16km Saturday morning run. Training went pretty good considering a small annoying right hip injury. Next duration training I will try to get up to the 18km or 20km, so almost half a marathon (we are getting there)!
And again a salad :)
Freaking amount of vegetable juice with one beetroot (no its not animal blood). Is one litre of vegetable juice to much as a meal? Is that overeating?
And finally my salad dinner of this evening with some steamed, just freshly picked organic zucchini.
I am only eating vegetables as dinner in the evening, so fill in the missing pictures with lots of fresh delicious fruits for breakfasts and lunches :D Furthermore no missteps this week.
Have a good one folks :)
