Vegetarian/Almost Raw Meal
Preparing a Wrap

Preparing a Wrap

Most of the ingredients are organic. The cucumber came from our garden. I’m trying to substantially increase the percentage of raw I eat. I’ve eaten lots of fruit today. The wrap, of course, isn’t raw. Nor was the chai latte I had this morning. But other than that, the day has been raw.

I added some mango slices and black olives to the meal.

I want one
You do know that some cooked veggies are good for you right ?

I just want to go 50 - 75% raw. There is a movie out on it I want to see..."Simply Raw: Reversing Diabetes in Thirty Days."

Yes raw does have enzymes our body needs. I would bet that's want part of the movie is about

Was it good?

It looks good.

I'm glad that you're not going all raw, though, since cooking is beneficial in some cases (such as for carrots).
ChrisJerri S. Jul 19, 2009, 6:08pm EDT
I didn't know that. I had raw carrots today.
Heather ~of the Whippets~ M. Jul 19, 2009, 6:25pm EDT
Raw carrots are tasty and healthy. Cooking them does help make some nutrients more available to our bodies, though. The same is true for some other veggies.

This sounds interesting. I'm curious how it goes.

Raw foods are the key to health and so delicious, too. Your food looks fabulous. Another good idea is spring rolls.

Good thought about raw food! I'm sure we'd all feel better if we made the commitment to eat a little more sensibly.
That looks like a delicious meal~

I would like to know how it works for reversing diabetes.

I, too, am experimenting with being raw. It's hard, though, because I am the only one in my family interested in it. Although my husband will drink the green smoothies I send with him to work and eat the raw salads I make nearly every day. I'm pretty much going vegetarian, although occasionally I eat eggs, mostly because I am still nursing a baby and get so hungry. I'm not sure I'll ever be completely raw vegan, but will maybe come close.

Oh, and cheese. That's a little bit hard to give up. :-)
