Day 5

Well, today surprised me. I was a little hungrier than yesterday, but then had a normal dinner and felt completely stuffed afterwards. I have not had that experience with eating raw food and it was not a good one. Next time I will realize that it's either soup OR a sandwich, not both. Which to be honest, seriously appeals to my lazy side. ;)

PH Level: 5.5 (this is almost perfect for the morning)

Breakfast:

Green Smoothie: (Try to be shocked)

• 2 cups spinach
• 1 cup strawberries
• 1/2 cup pineapple
• 1 apple
• 1 Tbsp coconut oil
• 1/2 orange
• 2 frozen bananas
  
• 1 cup water

Note: I could only drink half of this, so I'll be having the other half either for breakfast tomorrow or as a snack. Seriously weird...but at least I ate lunch today like a normal person!

Snack:

Tropical Smoothie: (Anna, I made this one for you, as it's NOT green!) :)

• 1 cup strawberries
• 1 cup pineapple
• 1 Tbsp coconut oil
• 2 oranges
• 1 cup water
• 2 frozen bananas

Lunch:

Green Salad: (This looks horrible as it traveled to work with me, but it tasted yummy)

• spinach
• tomatoes
• green onions
• goji berries
• alfalfa sprouts
• snack sprouts
  
• zucchini
• yellow squash
• cucumbers
• avocado
• cucumber dressing (I made this a few days ago and I forget what exactly was in it...cucumber juice, lemon juice, mint leaves, and onion, I think)

Snack: about 8  cashews

Sorry for being vague on some things today. I had a lot going on tonight. It's midnight and I haven't prepared anything for tomorrow. Yeah...but on the bright side, I think my rice should be about done soaking, you know because it takes FOREVER...or 3-5 days.
