Today is day 3 of my 60-day 100% Raw vegan Challange

DAY 3


I have not updated my blog over the last two days! So I am here to catch up. I am trying to keep really good record of everything for my Dad, who is interested in taking a similar challenge at some point.
Anyways, yesterday I underate for some weird reason. I normally am starved by the time it comes to breakfast. However, I had no appetite, and ate my first meal at 1PM. I would not recommend that!!! Yesterday's fruits and veggies:
Breakfast:skipped :-(
Grande Soy latte (from Starbux!)
Lunch: Cauliflower "rice" and a small smoothie (2 bananas, 1 mango, 1 cup strawberries)
Snack: Vega bar (raw snack bar from Whole Foods) and orange juice
Dinner: Iceberg lettuce, chopped apple with strawberry dressing
Calories: under 2000 78% carbs, 13% fat (slightly under 30 grams), 9% protein (35ish grams)
Water: Just 500 ML
Exercise: Nothing really, helped my husband paint a little bit.
Sleep: 10-445 and 445-830
Side effects: Cranky by 3PM! Definitely need to pump up the fruit content of my lunch. Things like cauliflower rice, greens, etc. are awesome for nutrients, however more carbs are needed to maintain energy and sanity! I had to stop at the store and pick up something fast.
Comments: I still dabble in coffee. I sort of go back and forth on whether I should cut it out/incorporate something else like tea. Something about my lattes are so comforting in the morning! Anyways, I got my recipe for cauliflower rice off a forum. I honestly don't loooove it. I feel like something is missing. Jalopeno? Scallions? Maybe you can figure it out!


Cauliflower rice recipe:
1 head cauliflower
3 stalks celery
1 cucumber
3 tomatoes
Handful fresh cilantro
1 to 2 TB lemon juice
Just put it all in a food processor.


I also found this recipe for "strawberry shortcake" dressing on a forum too!
1 cup strawberries
1/2 avocado
3 dates
Juice from 1/2 a lime
Mix in the blender
This is a really yummy, sweet dressing. I actually think it would taste best with romaine lettuce.


Goals:
Drink 2 liters of water.
Eat more *which will be easier because I just bought a 40 pound box of bananas and a lot of oranges!


Peace&Love
