Activity: 40 minute walk
Food so far:
--2 c. papaya (not all at once! and pureed)
--spinach, artichokes, dill, parsley, cilantro, dulse, alfalfa, radish, lentil, clover and mung bean sprouts,
romaine, iceburg and a few cremini mushrooms, cucumber spaghetti (not all at once, some raw, some pureed) and celery, and green beans.
--about the juice of four lemons
--1/2 c. real cran. juice (in spritzers)
--lots of H20, oolong, jasmine, rooibos tea
--a banana
--a little fresh carrot juice as salad dressing base. Note: this is a great fat-free and flavourful salad dressing. Honestly!
--I'll probably have a little more fruit in awhile. I need something red.
I guess I'm having a starchy carb-phobic day and feel a little like cleansing. Interesting food combo note: steamed baby spinach and herbs, celery and raw fresh sprouts is awesome in the food processor--a demi-raw soup. The sprouts are a great "thickening" agent. Steamed artichokes are a treat, too. I probably should have had--no, I know I should have had a little cooked grain, i.e. millet or amaranth or quinoa--it would have tasted great with the creative green cuisine, but I was foolish and lazy and complex carb phobic, so I stuck to high SF fruits...a primitive day. I guess we have our moods! Must be the spring air.
Feel a little ambivalent re: new food pyramid guidelines. They are just that, guidelines.
Man, though--fresh papaya...YUM. Uh, it sounds like I spend a lot of time in prep., but seriously...i think it takes longer to do the dishes than anything else!
