Day 4-Emily

I'm very tired tonight so this blog will be short. Today Stephen and I had his and hers smoothies for breakfast. I had a strawberry banana pineapple smoothie and Stephen had his coconut banana smoothie. Today I was ready for some mix up. 

For lunch we had the same salad as usual and a fruit salad, but the kicker was dinner. I was really in the mood for something 'exotic' so I mixed up a big bowl of raw spaghetti. For the noodles I spiralized three zucchinis. I then blended five roma tomatoes with 1 cup of fresh basil in the blender, and added that mix to three smashed avocados. The sauce ended up being very similar to a basil pesto. I added chopped squash and red and green bell peppers in order to give it a real spaghetti sauce taste.

I'm beginning to feel my body detox from the diet. It's nice and somewhat disturbing to know what my body had in it before. We literally poison ourselves everyday when eating conventional foods. :( Stephen and I are both doing very well, though. I'm looking forward to the warm weather weekend. :)

  1. Just saw the yummies videos on youtube. Check them out. Search Raw Vanilla Cinnamon Rolls and Chocolate Cake by Primitive. I can't wait to make them when I'm done fasting. Oh, and look up Raw Curry, and Raw Pad Thai. I really really suggest learning how to make all of the yummy sauces that you love for dressings on any variety of veggies. It's ALL about the sauces and dressing and FLAVOR!

  4. This is unbelievably inspiring, im in university now too, and trying to do the raw thing, but the excitement begins when you feel those instant changes from the benefits and even those detox symptoms. Hold out so you can see what's on the other side of the detox! I still have yet to experience that.
