Great to meet you, Allison! Thank you for coming in to the cafe. So glad you're enjoying the food. We look forward to seeing you again. Thanks for finding me here : )
Hi, Allison~Thanks so much for the encouragement. I am new to raw as well....I did a 30 day trial last November, but then couldn't seem to stick with it during the holidays-plus I live in Michigan and there is not a whole lot of organic fruit in November, which really helps me get through the first couple of weeks. I stuck to vegetarian January-May, but was working 60-70 hour weeks working full time and doing an internship for my Masters degree, so again, I shelved the raw-food lifestyle for the sake of convenience. I've been raw now for about a month, and agree with you that I don't want to go back. I feel fantastic! Hopefully, we can support each other....Let me know if you happen upon any good recipes :)
I never thought Green Smoothies could taste so good either! In fact, I do believe that the juices us raw foodists make are the absolute BEST on the planet!! Seriously! Yesterday was day 2 on my juice feast and just happened to be the one day of the week that I made my BF dinner (well, when we are married it will be a much more regular thing!) and once we sat down (him to eat, me to drink) and I started drinking the first juice (green), I was in heaven. The second was even better- sweeter with pineapple, apple, celery, and watermelon). And the two mixed together are bliss!! Who would have ever thought!!!!!
