Day 36 of 90 - Raw Food Secrets

People keep asking me what I eat, so I will share one big secret of Raw Food regimen: Smoothies! Most Raw Foodies slurp at least one smoothie each day. So, now you are going to ask me for a recipe or two and I have none. There are tons of smoothie recipes on-line and in cookbooks, but I haven't used a recipe yet. Sometimes my smoothies take awhile to drink while other times I suck them right down. The secret is to find out what you like and what works for you. Tonight I am having a late dinner and the smoothie has what was ready to go in my kitchen - 1 banana, 1 peach, 2 cups (about) of watermelon, 1 teaspoon of raw honey, and 1 tablespoon of black strap molasses. I am using the molasses as a source of iron and calcium. I think I talked about it yesterday.

The color is not so great actually because blackstrap is, well, black. Mix watermelon with blackstrap and you get a pukish red-brown color. But I am not attached to it looking delicious, just tasting delicious and it does. Very refreshing for a summer time beverage.

One tip is that bananas always make everything taste better. If you get a smoothie with bitter greens in it or just an odd mix of flavors, add a banana.

I went to three green networking and education events tonight except one doesn't count because only one person was there when I arrived. I always meet great people! I always have fun! That is another blog though!
