Day 1 - Raw Vegan for 30 Days


I decided to take the plunge and try 30 days of RAW Vegan. Today was my first day. It went quite well…I was pleased and surprised by several things:

Plates adorned with colorful organic fruit and vegetables were enough to make me excited for what I might come up with for the next meal. I didn’t dread trying to find something to put together and cook for any meals. In fact it was quite the leisurely experience to browse the fridge for amazing food combinations.

I was full before I expected to be. Lunch in particular…I had a loaded plate and chose to eat my “fatty” avocado dip and vegetables first leaving no room for an apple. The apple, however, did make an excellent afternoon snack with raw peanut butter.

Daily routine did not make me as tired as I have been lately. Instead of wanting to take advantage of a full 2 hour nap while the kids were sleeping, I found myself energized after only an hour of rest.

Tomorrow is full of promise as I’m looking forward to what other delicious meals and snacks I can come up with or repeat again.

Ever so grateful for the internet and those that post their successes, meals, observations and tips and I hope to be as helpful as I record my daily journey with RAW.
