Day 1 Green smoothie ingredients

DAY 2 of THE 30 DAY RAW CHALLENGE

As the sun rises over Combe Martin on what we know as Good Friday, I am contemplating what a crazy energy we have given to this day. Millions of people gather to mourn the death of Christ. How, I am sure, he would prefer to remember us is for his Resurrection. How he overcame the limitations of his physical body and set us the example of how to do this ourselves.

With the full moon and eclipse now behind us we missed the opportunity to plant our potatoes on a waxing moon but, instead we have started work to repair the beautiful 18th Century wall that surrounds our garden. If anyone would like to come and help us in exchange for board and lodging for a few days that would be great!

Back to the raw challenge. I have been reading ‘Raw Family’ by Victoria, Igor, Sergei and Valya Boutenko, they managed to go trekking and wild camping across America living off mainly wild greens and a few almonds with other food as they could find it. If they could do this I can enjoy my raw diet with all the mod cons of a vitamix, great ingredients and other gear to create some amazing raw recipes.

Yesterday, I made a great desert with the ingredients above, blended in the Vitamix to create a sweet mousse and added water and Kale to make some smoothies  which I put in jars ready for this morning.

My dinner: Kale massaged with Sunita Tahini, lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil. Marinaded turnip, mushrooms and peppers marinaded with  clearspring tamari and  toasted  sesame oil. A bit of Laurie’s amazing live organic sauerkraut on the side.
