Raw Food Friday #1

Happy Friday!  As I mentioned on last week, I'll be making a few changes to our eating habits.  I hate the word "diet."  At some point in the last 6 months we started eating a bit less healthy so it's time to make a change.

I thoroughly enjoyed the No-Bake series I posted here a few months ago so I've decided to make a long-term series called Raw Food Friday.  There are SO MANY healthy, raw food meals out there and I can't wait to share them.  Every Friday I am going to try my darndest to eat raw.  All day!  I won't bore you with in-between snacks of carrot and celery sticks but I'll try to include more than one meal when possible.

Blueberry Mango Smoothie

Ingredients

1 tablespoon chia seeds (or flax seeds)

1/2 cup vanilla or plain yogurt

1/2 cup mango juice

1/4 cup fresh blueberries

1/4 cup fresh mango chunks

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
1 stalk of celery, chopped
1/c cup spinach

*I add 2 scoops of SP complete powder which is a whole food protein powder with veggies included* It also comes Dairy-free 
 

Directions

Add all of the ingredients into your blender and blend until smooth.   Add ice and blend until smooth.  Serve.  It might be easier if you blended your chia or flax seeds in a food processor first but that just makes more to clean up.

Today I'll have a shake for breakfast and another for lunch!  Dinner will be a large salad with homemade Apple Cider Viniagrette dressing!  It may not sound all that exciting but I'm looking forward to sharing more next week!

I'm over at It's Your Life today so stop by and say Hello!
