100% Raw - Day One

Ok, so far so good - I am using some non-raw salad dressing, but give a girl a break, will ya? ;)

So far today I've had:
- green smoothie with 2 frozen bananas, frozen raspberries, fresh strawberries, and as much baby spinach as I could stuff in the blender
- Raw Revolution bar (spirulina/cashew)
- salad with lettuce, spinach, carrots, cucumbers, 1/2 avocado, hemp seeds, oil/vinegar salad dressing

I already made another smoothie using the other 1/2 avocado, 1 banana, 1 apple, lettuce/spinach, and watermelon (you can't really taste the watermelon-oh well). I will most likely have that for dinner tonight. :)

Edited to add: I had WAY too much fat today! The biggest problem is that it is virtually impossible to store part of an avocado- it gets all brown and nasty. One whole avocado, plus the raw bar, hemp seeds, and the salad dressing resulted in fat overload. Oh well, you live, you learn. :)

Try slicing the avo in half, pulling it apart, and leave the pit in one half. Place that half with the pit in an airtight container in the fridge. It will keep for 24 to 48 hours without turning all brown and nasty. There's something about leaving the pit in that helps it keep better. I learned this trick several months ago and it's really nice to know.
