"Lunch:"
This is actually my second serving of mixed raw nuts today
(cashews, pepitas, peanuts, sunflower seeds).
I'm still pretty full from the smoothie and nuts from 2 hours ago,
so my portions here are small.
Of course, I'm drinking lots of water!
Remember, you need half of your body weight in ounces of water every day!
I'm finishing my 24th oz of water presently, with about 36 to go.

Dinner:
Rice-less Sushi:
Sweet Potatoes, Asparagus, Almond Butter, Nori, Avocado
(I'm still perfecting the avocado presentation)
I soaked the veggies in very hot water (removed from heat)
for 3 hours to soften them.

Bonus:
Yep, there's a Raw One for Men, too!
about what percentage of local produce do you incorporate into your diet?
ReplyDeleteAs much as the climate and season will allow. My general rule of thumb is: Eat Local All the Time! Except when you can't. :)
ReplyDeleteI subscribe to the macrobiotics theory, which states that our bodies are acclimated, like vegetation, to the zones in which they dwell. Being from a temperate zone, I eat produce that was grown in a temperate climate, whether it be from North Carolina, Georgia, or New York. This limits my intake of tropical fruits significantly (I view them as special treats).
So to answer your question, I always eat "local" produce, but I eat produce from my town when the season allows me to.

ReplyDeletePS - I make an exception for Avocados. Although they are a tropical fruit, they are also a phenomenal source of plant proteins and Omega-3 fatty acids, which are difficult to come by in a vegan diet.
