My Green Chopped Salad

Hi Veggies!


I have been thinking, and I believe this may be a more useful exercise if I try and write each day, updating my diet/exercise. That way you all can share this experience with me...and perhaps learn from my mistakes! Because believe me! I am making a few. LOL. Note: Strawberries and bananas actually do not make a great smoothie together. This is because sweets fruits and acid fruits do not combine well. Sweet fruits combine well with sub acid fruits.
Sub acid fruits combine well with acid fruits.
There are resources on the Internet that briefly describe food combining. However, this is important with fruit. Poor combinations = bloating + farts!
I learned that yesterday, I looked preggers by lunch time.
Anyways, I am so proud because I actually made-up my first raw recipe. I have no illustration, because I gobbled it down very quickly.


1 cup green grapes
1 peeled apple
3 stalks of celery
Always wash everything well! Peel and chop your apple. Cut the grapes in half. Chop your celery. Toss together in a bowl! Done!
That's 1 - cereal bowls - worth, you will likely want to multiply it if you are sharing or eating a substantial meal. I would probably triple/quadruple it, and eat it as my dinner.


All the tastes really compliment each other well. Plus, you need to make sure you are getting vegetables in your diet. Especially, if you are a high carb-low fat raw vegan! Not to mention, this recipe is great if you are looking for something less sweet. I ate it with a little orange juice on the side, and I am set for the night.


Unfortunately, I pulled something in my arm tossing  my son about the other week. It isn't hurt very badly. However, I noticed my one arm was way weaker during my biceps strength exercises. My form was compromised, and my husband suggested I not lift all week. Boo! So...I will stick to straight cardio and leg exercises all week! No cheating. I am into week 4 of the Gold's Gym Challenge, and I haven't been progressing well. Mostly, since I have been "transitioning" to raw veganism. However, my hope is with a daily log, I can hold myself a little more accountable and keep track of the progress I do make!


Peace and Love!!!! See you tomorrow...
