Raw Dish!

Breakfast- Brazil nut milk and strawberry smoothie (home made Brazil nut milk, 3 cups strawberries, dates, bee pollen, coconut butter, vanilla, nutmeg

Dinner- open faced sandwich: 2 slices Love Force raw organic bread, dr-cow aged cashew nut cheese, Hawthorne Valley Farm Caraway Sauerkraut, 1 large sliced tomato

One of my ways of finding comfort is to go to the Galaxy Diner on early Saturday  morning and have a large leisurely traditional cooked food breakfast-without meat, but with coffee.  I had stopped for a long while, but since last fall when I began to eat some cooked food again I've gotten back in the habit.  This week I decided that I wasn't going to eat that for breakfast today.  I missed it in advance, and I realized that I needed to replace it with something raw that I really love to eat/drink.  The nut milk smoothie was the perfect choice.

I felt really tired this afternoon and at first I thought it was because of the heavy smoothie.  What I really think it was is that I had black tea on two mornings earlier in the week.  I am very sensitive to caffeine and it takes about three days for it to get out of the system so I think my body was just relaxing after the caffeine was completely gone.  Also, I've been eating mostly raw food but I've been also eating cooked regularly(see "Semi-Raw").  Inspired by Jeremy Safron, I've been eating 100% percent raw again, and I think that my body was also just relaxing after eating only raw for three days and the stimulating effects of cooked food were gone.
