Day 2 - Raw in 28 Days - Raw Food Journey with Holly Jo - Coconut and Almond Milk


Visited the local co-op this morning and purchased a case of young coconuts, red chard, adriatic figs, raw almonds, raw buckwheat groats, bananas, tomatoes, avocados and some raw crackers. Raw prepared foods are very expensive, so look forward to preparing some recipes on our own!



RECIPES:

Coconut milk: A perfect food is the young coconut; they are packed with electrolytes and good fat. Acquire a large meat cleaver and make four or five circular cuts on the top or point of the coconut. Drink the milk inside as well as scrape out the meat to eat. You may also use the meat and juice in raw food recipes.

Almond Milk : Rinse and soak almonds overnight. Throw out the water after soaking. Blend the nuts in Vita-mix, use cloth bag to strain milk into jars. You may add a little raw agave nectar if you'd like!

Cheers!

Day 1 - Raw in 28 Days - Raw Food Journey with Holly Jo - Green Drink

Today begins my journey in creating a habit of eating raw and living foods. I will share my experiences and recipes over 28 days.

Day 1
Recipe: Raw Green Fig Drink
Handful of red chard, half a basket of Adriatic figs, and cilantro blended in a Vita-mix 5000 blender.




Recipe: Tahini & Garlic Dip with vegetables

I used a mini Cuisinart and mixed three cloves of garlic, raw almonds, raw olive oil and raw tahini.

Here is my first day of eating raw food. Stay tuned for more adventure. After going to the farmer's market on Tuesday and meeting a couple influential people; I decided to create "Raw in 28 days" hoping to bring more health and vitality to my life.
