Sample

I was asked for sample meals. Well, we're not always completely raw but here is what we ate yesterday:

- breakfast: fruit smoothie (I am addicted so I don't vary but you can): 1 banana, defrost mango chunks and equal amount of frozen 4 berries with small amount of water. Put everything in blender and blend until thick and yummy. Drink your fruits (easy way to get sugar high - uh - all your fruits).
- lunch: big salad (yesterday was traditional with olives and feta cheese (which I believe is cheating but I am hungry so not feeling fussy at all).
- dinner: fake hamburger: you take a shitaake mushroom (or 2, but 1 was enough) for the bun, add a nut spread for dressing + tomato and lettuce. Side of fries is actually jicama (yeah, I didn't know what that was either. It is sold in the vegetable section. Quite fibrous and watery) peeled and cut to resemble fries and seasoned with the recommended dressing. Swiss chard salad with pine nuts and raisins. Bits of chocolate from a chocolate bar I bought at the pharmacy yesterday (I used to eat that quite a bit but found it very sweet and not that good yesterday - new taste buds?). Usually we skip dessert or have a fruit.
Though yesterday we had a fake chocolate cake (dough made with dates brownie-like) choco cake yesterday topped with cherries - absolutely decadent).

Mmm, all sounds super tasty. Funny I eat very similar. But of course I do eat cooked meat. But lots of fruit and raw veggies. Love smoothies. Don't know if you can have dairy but throwing in some 0% cottage cheese makes things creamy.
If you have any links to some good raw sites - please post them.
I hear you with the chocolate - losing my taste for it as well. (Except true Belgian chocolate...)

I'll try Belgian and see if my taste for it returns!
