RAWesome Nibbles

by J3nn (Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) on April 29, 2011

Ever since I did my semi-raw diet experiment last summer I’ve had a new appreciation for raw foods. I’ve been fascinated by the preparation techniques and creativity of it for awhile, and obviously I have always eaten raw foods in one way or another, but there are so many raw foods that I never would have imagined wanting to eat. Like for instance: Raw crackers and raw tacos! The possibilities are endless. And now that summery weather is here, it’s rekindling my passion for eating more raw foods.

Yesterday, nothing sounded better for lunch than a plate loaded with raw goodies. I bought this bag of GoRaw super cookies a few months ago and have been nibbling on them slowly, trying to ration out the yumminess so I don’t run out, lol. They’re tasty enough to eat the whole bag in one sitting, though!!

Only 3 ingredients but SO much flavor! They’re SO GOOD! Next time I go to Mother Earth’s or Nature’s Pantry I hope to find another flavor, maybe a savory one.

I had some for lunch along with a bunch of other raw and cooked nibbles.

  • Raw celery sticks (LOVE the leaves!!!) sprinkled with nutritional yeast
  • Raw baby carrots
  • Raw Go Raw original super cookies
  • Lindsay low sodium black olives
  • Dill pickle
  • Scoop of Fage full-fat Greek yogurt
  • Pace picante

Note Tiny bubbles…Note Seltzer is another summery-weather favorite. Red heart

Yummy! Fun to eat, too.

Do you enjoy eating raw foods? What are some of your favorites? There’s a bunch of raw recipes all over the ‘sphere that I am dying to try, like:  Gena’s Raw Goat Cheese and Averie’s Raw Cheezy Kale Chips and Christine’s Hemp Seed Alfredo Sauce and Raw Eggplant BACON!

It’s much less humid today—thankfully! But SHE just rolled into town, so I have a whole new type of discomfort today, haha. Off to eat and then I have another post on last night’s dinner, which was SO YUM! I decided the lima bean pasta salad wasn’t recipe-worthy, so I’m not going to be posting that, but last night’s dinner made up for it.

Be back soon!

Saturday was the last day of my semi-raw diet experiment. And the conclusion couldn’t have come soon enough. I had the worst night’s sleep on Saturday, my last day of raw eating.

SpongeBob SquarePants!! …’cause I ate his house for dessert! Sorry SpongeBob, it was delicious. The avocados I bought on Sunday are perfectly ripe all at the same time, so I’m eating them like it’s my job. I was thinking about making banana soft serve, but decided to kick it up a few notches after remembering [...]

July 15, 2010 Jenneral Posts

I found myself grazing most of the day yesterday. A piece of fruit here, handful of nuts there, a piece of cheese, a raw no-bake cookie, and before you know it, I really only ended up with one complete meal. My lunch consisted of olives, a piece of Jarlsberg Swiss cheese, and a Diet Coke [...]

Raw Diet Day Three: The Joy Of Not Cooking

July 14, 2010 Jenneral Posts

I’m trying to find the joy in this raw diet, which isn’t always easy, lol. There haven’t been any noticeable changes in the tummy situation, though I haven’t eaten much today and I also have a lot of questionable contributing factors, such as dairy. I took some Gas-X a few hours ago, but haven’t noticed [...]
