30 Days 100% Raw: Day 2

Hello my lovely readers and my new readers!  Thank you to Raw Food Rehab on Facebook for sharing my blog on their page.  It was lovely to see!  I woke up today with a bit more energy then normal for me, at least lately.  It was a nice little change.  If this continues to be a trend I might just be able to kick the coffee habit a little sooner then expected.  I know in my last post I wrote the calories I ate, fat, and protein.  I am not planning on doing that for every post.  It's not really how I eat.  I like to eat more intuitive going toward eating what my body is signaling to me that it wants.  I also only eat when I am hungry or getting hungry for that matter. The stats were more for a reference so others can see that I can successfully get protein without consuming animal product.  It's a shock for some of them I know.  I still feel like I am going strong and not really tempted to eat cooked food yet.  I even made my husband his cooked dinner tonight with no wishes to try it.  So what did I eat today?

Breakfast:
1 Quart V5 Juice

Lunch:
2 Apples
1 Pear
1 T Homemade Almond Butter

Snack:
16oz. #6 Inta Juice

Dinner:
Zucchini Carrot Alfrado

Dessert:
Banana Ice Cream with Date Caramel Sauce

There are recipes for all of these that I will share when I write my book.  I can tell you everything here is 100% Raw Vegan and it was all very delicious.  I even got the approval from my husband when he tried Banana Ice Cream for the first time.  I am still liking doing more of an 80/10/10 diet then anything.  My body is really liking it and I am feeling really good.  I'll leave you with a little photo teaser of my dessert because being raw and healthy does not mean being boring!

Juice Feast: Day 2

Day 2 is almost over and so far this was the hardest day.  I had a hard time turning my mind off from the need to eat.  I was never hungry but with the food everywhere in the office I felt like I was missing out.  It's kind of funny when I look back on it.  I think it was more wanting something crunchy or crispy and less with the need to actually eat.  Leaving for lunch has helped a lot.  I went to the library today and then the dollar store.  I wonder where I will go next week.  So what did I have to eat (or should I say drink) today?
Breakfast (1.5 Quarts)
- Cucumber
- Strawberries
- Spinach
- Blueberries
- Water
Lunch (~ 1 Quart)
- Avocado
- Spinach
- Tomato
- Raw Protein Powder
- Spirulina
- Psyllium Husk
- Lemon
- Water
Dinner (1 Quart)

Tonight I also made some homemade raw almond milk.  I added dates for sweetness and homemade vanilla extract.  I am currently sipping some Chai Tea with a splash of this almond milk.  I would say today is a success.  I never thought this would be easy but is fascinating how tricky mentally it is right now.  Here's the calorie breakdown:
