..Sunday Fun-day: My Raw Food Experience..

Gypsy Gems,


Today was a beautiful day - so beautiful that I would love to share it with you.


It started off just right with an early afternoon Raw Food Potluck. I was invited to this community event  by a lovely gem and I am so happy I accepted.


I have never tried a completely raw food recipe (on purpose), and I wanted to make sure I prepared it correctly to meet "raw food standards". I wasn't sure where to start or what I would make so I turned to my good friend, Google, to educate me on what constituted as raw food, and why raw food diets were sweeping the nation.


This is (briefly) what I learned:
A raw food diet consists of unprocessed vegan foods that have not been heated above 115 degrees Fahrenheit. It is believed that foods that are cooked above this temperature lose their enzymes and a significant amount of their nutritional value, which can be harmful to the body. Uncooked foods provide living enzymes and proper nutrition which can result in weight loss, more energy, clearer skin, improved digestion and overall health.


After I "educated" myself on raw foods I literally Googled: Easy Raw Food Recipes. I found an amazing recipe for Lettuce Burritos. They were easy, fun to make and were an absolute hit at the potluck.


I took some pictures of the beautiful and delicious foods that were offered today - there was so much variety: various salads and fruit, coconut chocolate covered banana pops, dill stuffed mushrooms, date squares, tahini hemp seed balls, and orange smoothies.


Today has inspired me to introduce more Raw Foods into my Diet - maybe I will even go on a Raw Food Cleanse. Care to join?


Until Next Time,


Much Love.
