Raw Food Challenge – We made day one!

So we really made the first day of our Raw Food Challenge. And I have to say, it wasn’t hard at all.

I thought, I might have more detox symptoms like a headache, but nothing. (Only my husband had a little headache, but I guess this is because he normally consumes coffee on a regular basis) Actually, my energy was very good and I had no strong cravings.

Here is what I ate:

 Two Green Smoothies

Three Dates

A lof of Raw Tacos

The raw tacos were inspired by lovely Sarah Britton from “My new roots”- Blog. They are so yummy and taste like the real deal. Here is the post.

Sarah is a holistic nutritionist and vegan chef and has a great talent for lovely recipes that also boost with nutrition and are just amazing for your health. The recipes are mostly vegan and she has a lot of great raw options, too. Especially her raw desserts are so mouthwatering. I will definitely try out this raw brownie in a couple of days.

But for now here are some pics of the raw tacos we made.

We put together tomatoes, avocados, cilantro, red onions, bell pepper with salt, pepper and some lime juice.

Then we made the walnut “meat” – Yes, that’s right! This grounded up stuff is NOT real meat, it’s walnuts. And believe me, you can hardly taste a difference. It is blended with olive oil, cumin and tamari (soy sauce).

And last but not least a cashew “sour cream” – Also absolutely devine. You would not miss the normal stuff.

Then you just take some salad leafs (we had romaine) and put all the stuff in and fold it like a little taco. Violà!

Stay healthy and happy!!!
