Fast Food
I’ve been feeling pretty blah in my eating routine recently. I know that the food I’ve been eating hasn’t been making me feel the best ever, but I also don’t feel ready to move away from the “eat whatever whenever” routine that has been so healing for me. I don’t want to restrict, to count, to make rules to succeed or break. I want to listen to my body and nourish it. So in the new year, I’ve created the intention to choose good foods that I KNOW make me feel good, without needing to restrict any of the other stuff. Just add in the good. The key to choosing good food is having it available and easy. If I have greens and fruit available that is what I will chose 99.9% of the time.
My body needs fresh blended or juiced greens as much as possible, and that’s something I drifted away from in the past month. Sarma’s newest post on We Like it Raw reminded me of my favorite green smoothie combination — grapefruit and cilantro. Yes it seems unlikely, but you can check out her recipe in the post, or see what I like below.
- One grapefruit (I like them pink & juicy)
- big handful cilantro (1/2 bunch or so)
- Stevia extract, a few dashes to sweeten
- 1 lime, rind cut away
- a couple leaves of kale
- 1/2 cucumber
Add enough water to cover the blender blades, blend and enjoy! I love love love this smoothie. Grapefruits are very nutritious and healing, and do wonders for dissolving mucous (and cellulite!). I find this drink to be extremely hydrating and satisfying. Give it a try, and play with it as you like!
