For breakfast I had two Valencia oranges.
For morning snack I made a juice of 6 small apples, 1 cup of defrosted cranberries and 2 thumbs of ginger root. It was very sweet, spicy and tangy. Loved it. I found that the ginger did help clear up quite a bit of the congestion but still sneezing like crazy. The juice made a very pretty rose colored drink:
Too bad I drank most of it before I thought to take a picture :\
For lunch I had a small mixed Italian lettuce salad with mixed sea vegetables and a 1/4 cup of cashews. I also had half of a slice of manna bread with raw nut butter and raw honey. On the side I had 4 sugar snap peas and 4 baby carrots. I made another rosy juice to drink.
For snack I had a large blueberry and banana smoothie. Two medium bananas, 1 cup frozen blueberries and 1 cup vanilla almond milk sweetened with raw honey. It came out like a dark concord grape color and very delicious. It made 2 1/2 cups.
I signed up for SparkPeople recipe database. I will put the recipes in as I go along. To start off I added the Raw Rosy Juice and the Raw Blueberry Banana Smoothie with Almond Milk. Under the Nutritional Info label is a link to "View full nutritional breakdown", in that link a pop-up window will tell you about the vitamins and minerals in the recipe.
For dinner I had 1 1/2 cups kelp noodles covered in a raw alfredo sauce. You can find this recipe here. The noodles were warmed under running hot water. The alfredo sauce was made up of a cup of pureed cashews with water (enough to blend), a large pinch of sea salt, 1/2 teaspoon of raw garlic (you might want to cut that down, I am trying to clear congestion), a squeeze of fresh lemon (a Tablespoon?), fresh black pepper and parsley. Makes enough sauce for two servings.
