My Journey Into Raw Foods

I still believe and follow an Ayurvedic diet. And because of this, I have become more and more aware now of how intelligent my body really is. All I need to do is just learn to listen to it instead of telling it what to do. My body tells me that moderation is key to everything, most especially in what we eat. I am more conscious now of what goes in and out of my body. And I believe if I balance both Ayurvedic and Raw foods, (that being focused more on a plant-based diet), not only will I be saving myself, I will just as well contribute to saving the world..

Here are my baby steps into taking that raw food action into my system:

A beginners journey: Making my own raw green smoothies everyday and upping the doses gradually.

Pechay and Saba Smoothie

..Since dairy is slowly becoming the enemy now, I just realized that I get even better nutrients without the animal fat from nuts and seeds. So I learned that making my own homemade almond milk tastes so much better and healthier! It's a little tedious, but its worth it!

Almond Nut Milk

..And there are so many recipes out there that teach you how to make use of the left over almond pulp! Be sure not to throw it away! Here are some of my experiments:

Raw Vegan Chocolate Cake

Almond-Coconut Macaroons

Chia Seeds! (I love snacking on this with almond milk and saba like a cereal or making it into a smoothie with fruit). It's really worth it to stock up on these wonderful seeds. You'll be amazed of the healthy benefits this wonderful seed has to offer! :)

Here's to the start of making half of my diet raw vegan! :)
