Little Miss Sunshine's Blog (13)

I'm currently reading the book Green for Life by Victoria Boutenko and I'm trying out all of the deeee-lish green smoothie recipes I want to try them all (a new one every 2 days) and I'll add some reviews to this blog as I go along...

Igor's Favorite

Price (Not organic :-( ): about $6 To make a quart (1/2 a bunch of spinch, 1/2 a lime, 4 apples & a banana)

Ease of preparation: Kind of a pain to peel all of those apples but not bad

So, I was just talking to my roommate about the organic CSA that I’m getting involved in and I was smiling from ear to ear. My first successful attempt at sprouting was today and I swear I’m practically glowing. It’s just so funny to me how happy this stuff really makes me. 6 months ago I wouldn’t have even believed that all of these changes would be happening. It’s really a trip. I think I said it

I made two GREAT smoothies today & just wanted to share the recipes...

The first one is a decadent chocolatey treat

Water

3 TBSP cacoa powder

1 TBSP coconut oil

2 TBSP fine shredded coconut

2 medium bananas

1 TBSP raw honey

Had this one for breakfast and it was super satisfying, I couldn't even drink 1/2 of it so you might want to cut the recipe in 1/2 or just save some for later :-]

The smoothie I had for lunch was mo

When I go for a drive I like to pull off to the side
Of the road, turn out the lights, get out and look up at the sky
And I do this to remind me that I'm really, really tiny
In the grand scheme of things and sometimes this terrifies me

But it's only really scary cause it makes me feel serene
In a way I never thought I'd be because I've never been
So grounded, and so humbled, and so one with everything
I am grounded, I am humbled, I am one with everythin

So I'm back from spring break and since it's a college town, Chico is pretty much dead. It was a little lonely at first but I took advantage of it. I've been looking up raw youtube videos, went to the farmer's market, natural food store and started sprouting for the first time.

Why Raw?

I draw my food from the garden,

I draw my nourishment from the ground,

I draw motivation from within me,

I draw together the strength.

Why Raw?

Not to confuse my friends,

Not to complicate my life,

Not to impress my scale,

Not to jump on the bandwagon.

Why Raw?

I eat from the earth's bounty,

I eat from the sun's rays,

I eat to feed my cells,

I eat to feed my soul.

I'm on day eleven of my raw journey...it's had it's ups and downs so far...

Downs:

-Eating out/Eating at friends' houses= LLLLAAAAAMMMEEE/ "hey guys, can we go to Souplantation...again"

-Packing a lunch for work that won't get gross as it sits in my locker or car for 4 hours= sometimes sketchy

-Constant questioning about my new decision to go 100% for 30 days

Ups:

+Yummie, yummie love my fruits & veggies

+I'm the only one at work wh
