Default You Can Do it!

Funchy, I just want to say that I know you can stick this out if you just give it a little bit more time. I have been mostly raw for almost a year now and have had tremendous improvements.

One thing that has helped me is that I found a really great raw granola that I love, made by goodstuff by mom and me. I add almond milk (I make this myself, easy to do and delicious)and a banana in the morning and it is a delight. I can eat it almost every day and not get bored.
Lunch is a really big salad, lots of greens, reds, yellows. I like to mix it up with different combinations every day I throw in some olives, radishes, celery, avocado, beets,sprouts, nuts, dried fruits, etc... and I like to make a nice dressing or just add some squeezed lemon and sea salt.

Dinner I am having smoothies, usually spinach, frozen banana and then berries, pineapple or another tart fruit.

It is great, I can vary what I put into my salads and smoothies and sometimes I try simple recipes like raw zucchini pasta with marinara... out of this world.

And I lost stubborn weight that would not come off for years. It seemed to melt right off of me.
Dont be hard on yourself either if you submit to a non raw food once in a while.
All the best !!!!!!
