I have read it is cheaper to buy raw produce then buying boxes and boxes and bags and packaging and wrapping, which when you don’t have that raw…how do I say…alkalinity you just can crave and go through many packages of manufactured “food”. It becomes less and less enjoyable when your body starts craving its usual avocado, or mango, or apple, or banana. The green smoothie a day has really helped my body start this raw love affair.
My mom gave me some raw food tips this weekend, one of which is just so simple I feel like a dolt not to have thought of it, anyway here it goes. Cut up some raw cabbage and toss it in a bag in the fridge. Whenever you are ready to make your favorite salad toss that in as a “filler”. Years ago I read cabbage has more vitamin C than grapefruit (my favorite fruit right now), is a wonder medicinal food all the way from the ancients, is super cheap, comes in purple and pink, and keeps in the fridge for ages.
These days for me my favorite salad means adding the cabbage to romaine, tomatoes, flax seed oil or Udo’s oil (even better), than olive oil, and soy sauce – delish!
i too love my green smoothie. my body craves it. so grateful i can have it daily.
purple cabbage pic is gorgeous color.
Hi Jessica,
Isn’t that fun? Making food with such beautiful raw foods is like painting a picture with many brilliant colors.
It was the Green Smoothie Experiment that inspired my green smoothies, it is over now. She is still leaving the blog up for a year though.
hey! i, too, looove cabbage. just an FYI, it seems to aggravate certain types of thyroid trouble, as does soy. as thyroid trouble is a common and serious ailment of our times, especially with all the soy consumption going on, it is worth keeping in mind. Tthank you for your lovely blog…
