2. RAW Juice
a. If you have access to a juice stand, get a nice kale apple ginger juice to spruce up your morning. Whole foods, Earthbound farms, or Jamba Juice can make this for you. Try to choose more greens and less fruit! Def include the ginger for immune boosting support and more!

a. – You can buy these at REI and then order online when you know which flavors you like

2. Stir Fry Veggies with Brown Rice and Braggs Sauce
3. Homemade Vegetable soup!
4. Brown Rice Tortilla Burrito Wrap with ½ a cup of beans and greens! Add homemade guac and salsa for some zing!
Sweet tooth:
- Make a small vega shake (or just mix chocolate powder with coconut water, yum)
- Eat a piece of fruit
- Buy Maca Sure Dark Chocolate at Whole foods! Increases energy, reduces stress, enhances libido, and helps your adrenals! How could one say No to this!
- Pure or Vega Bar if you burned lots of calories that day and you are still hungry
- Just want to munch : Brown rice cake, 1 tablespoon of raw almond butter, and a few drops of agave nectar!
The options above have a lot of carbs and fat and of course protein. Just not animal protein. When you eat raw / vegan, your body burns through it quickly. It is easily digested and transferred into energy. It does not slow you down like a high animal protein diet. So if you are going to eat red meat on top of this just be careful. I don’t eat dairy or meat high in fat, so I can eat raw nuts and almond butter because those are my only source of fat in my diet! Just be smart! We don’t have to count calories if we are choosing healthy choices! Stay away from packaged and preserved! Stay on the outsides of the grocery store, where raw and fresh are!
