Lunch: Kale & Avocado Massage Salad (I made a LOT)
Snaaaacks: Gorilla Food crackers; grape tomatoes; granola crunch; dates (speaking of which, a recipe from The Complete Book of Raw Food that sounded too easy to be delicious):
Raw Candy
Stick an almond inside a date. Eat it.
Dates are the most chocolatey non-chocolate I have eaten. Raw Candy is nature's chocolate-covered almond.

For dinner I had yet more Kale & Avocade Massage Salad (I reeeeeally made a lot) and then I made another green smoothie:
Recipe #9
3 bananas
a cup of papaya
4 big handfuls of baby spinach
2 cups of water
It is alright, a fairly neutral-tasting bananaey smoothie. (I think I may have accidentally put 4 bananas in.)

I am really liking that I can add lettuce and spinach to smoothies and it doesn't make them taste weird; the fruits are still the dominant flavour.

I also made halvah:
Carob Marble Halvah
1 cup sesame seeds
2 Tbsp Honey
1 Tbsp Raw Carob Powder
The recipe said you can substitute raw tahini, but a 2-cup jar at Capers was $16! So I ground my own seeds in a coffee grinder. This was fairly messy and they weren't all entirely ground, but it was good enough for my first halvah try.

2 Tbsp is maybe a bit too much honey. It could probably use more carob powder. And I added a bit of water, which was in the end maybe a bad idea, as it doesn't fully harden. Next time I'll just try grinding the seeds longer to form more of a paste.


I didn't love this meal, probably because of the raisins -- I'm not a huge raisin fan. Next time maybe I will substitute dried cranberries. ALSO. I only used two cloves of garlic and it is SO GARLICKY. Raw garlic, it turns out, is much more potent than cooked.
I also am doing the Raw Food Cleanse.. only on day 3 but not a big fan! I do feel great, but I could not do it for life. At least you have some great recipes!
