My cleanse this time around was the raw equivalent to the American Fast Food diet, but don't let that discourage (or encourage) you! We all have unexpected events pop up (like sick kids and heavy work loads) and we all find ourselves crunched for time occasionally. The beauty of the industrialized age (if there is one) is convenience for all dietary needs. Of course I would prefer to sit down to a home made raw feast, but sometimes, that's simply not practical, so I am thankful for cruditees, finger-fruits, and snack bars. And let's not forget, juice can go anywhere (and it should)!
I open with this disclaimer to excuse the fact that I had a less-than-exemplary day on the cleanse today.
I started with a banana (not bad) and moved to a Lara Bar...then to a Raw Revolution bar (fructose, anyone?)...and then onto some cashews and an apple. I guess I was saving room and calories for dinner:
I stopped by the deli counter at Greenlife for a serving of Raw Falafel Wraps on a bed of sprouts and romaine lettuce. Once I got home, I whipped up some Raw Tahini Tzatziki Sauce, complete with cucumbers and dill (I didn't realize I had tomatoes, until my food was gone). Tasty, light, raw, and protein-packed!
Now it's time for water and homework...
