Day 5

Today was a good day. I did end up having tea with breakfast again, but otherwise was raw. Lynn, hopefully you did better than me with the caffeine today! I did a bunch of prep work for raw dishes I will be having later this week, too. During the day, I soaked almonds, chick peas, and buckwheat. Tonight, I turned the almonds into hummus and I have the chick peas in one colander sprouting and the buckwheat in another colander sprouting. In addition to making the hummus tonight, I also made corn tabouli. Yes, I am moving off my recent Mexican kick and onto a Middle Eastern one. Raw food is so fun! :-D

Breakfast: half slice sprouted cinnamon raisin bread, milk
Lunch: one and a half sprouted tortilla wraps - spread with halvah, wrapped around a banana, apple
Snack: tangerine
Dinner: Mexican salad - mixed greens, corn, salsa, Mexican veggie nut stuffer, shredded cheese plus Milk

Almond Hummus

1 cup almonds, soaked at least 4 hours
2 Tbsp tahini
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp cumin powder
3 lemons, freshly squeezed
half to one Cup water, as needed for right consistency

Blend all together in your Vita Mix. If you do not have one, it is a super powerful blender. Try it in your regular blender, but you may need to add a bit more water. This should come out nice and smooth.
