going raw

current obsession:



blended pineapple, frozen bananas and 1 tsp of chis seeds




dont remember if i added water. i think i did? since banana would give thick consistency but the pineapple would be quite watery? makes the concoction more 'slippery'

 

 let me tell u, this was AWESOME! best that i have blended so far! maybe i could be bias because i love pineapples.
the pineapple was sweet and also a little sour. this is how exactly i like my pineapples to be. yum!

 

 bought a huge whole watermelon. they are in season now.

prepared this - watermelon and raw broccoli.

but i ended up adding in one orange, to make it tangy and cover the taste. since this is my first attempt with green.

 



 

 they were good

 

this small bottle is for the little boy.

he must finish a bottle of what i have made. i even passed it to the babysitter in the morning and i will get feedback from the aunty if he finishes it. *wicked grin*


 
this is pure watermelon juice

green apple, carrot, celery and broccoli


 

 not as bad. still tasty because the watermelon was sweet!

despite us coughing our lungs out at this moment, i manage to convince myself to forget all the old wives tales and feed ourselves watermelon.

i said this because i thought some people said watermelon is 'heaty'? hence not to be eaten when coughing.

oh well.















this was my very very first attempt in going 'raw' actually. there are actually a group of raw foodist out there if u dont know ;) neither do i until last month.
therefore im now a much healthier person! *whistles*

bought a bag of cucumber.

blend cucumber, apple, lemon, celery, ginger

i usually prefer to eat my fruits directly so now my main reason to blend/juice (there is a difference between the two) is to incorporate more greens into our diet. raw green food that is.

green smoothies

the lemon was too sour and the father does not like celery. 

celery is a powerful vegetable, as well as the taste.

it overpowers the whole concoction and the father claimed it was like 'fear factor'.
besides, if you are careful, u would realize ginger is in it.
the size of the ginger should not be bigger than your thumb.
sole reason for me adding in the ginger is to treat the nose and throat congestion.
or for more benefits, read here.

nevertheless, everyone drank their share and i was glad.

kj's portion had to be mixed with a little apple juice (from the box).

little boy can cheat, but not the adults.

i did a few trials with the cucumber and they were not worth sharing. ha-ha.

this week, im excited to try out my new greens. stay tuned!

by the way, i'll make sure my new baby gets his share of greens as seen here.

awesome site on going RAW!
