Raw challenge day fourteen - that's it!

Two weeks accomplished. Now give me that green curry, soya"meat"balls and rice porridge!!! :)

Seriously speaking, what's up next? I'm thinking about keeping one huge salad on my menu at least once a day. Also, the green smoothies and raw porridges will certainly be often on my breakfast menu. I still have the same no-no's: meat, coffein, getting drunk :) They make me feel instantly bad and/or are a risk to my health. Also trying to keep the intake of white flour and sugar reasonable. I mean, saying "no" to a warm cinnamon bun would be just stupid. With all the sweets in general, I'll probably be doing more raw than baked in the future. It's a small change you can easily do, that benefits your health.

Today's "farewell dinner" was amazing! It must be partly habituation to the raw, but the cheese sauce on this pasta tasted do cheesy, you cannot imagine! Although the raw two weeks are now ending, I know this is going to be my lunch tomorrow.


And yes, a big portion of smashed potatoes, soyaballs and lingonberry jam in the evening :)

Pasta with cheese sauce


Pasta: 
Slice zucchini into thin slices (cheese slicer is a good help)
blend with one tablespoon of coconut flour

Cheese sauce: 
1 dl cashews (soak for 1-2 hrs)
quality salt
black pepper
1 tbsp soya sauce / tamari
1 tbsp lemon juice
(1 tsp lemon zest)
1 tbsp nutritional yeast flakes
(thyme)
water (not the soaking water of cashews)

Blend it into the most delicious pasta sauce! I didn't have lemon, so I used half a lime instead. Worked just fine!


Last, but not least, a big thank you to Katja of Moments-blog, for handing out all these recipes!

  2. Voi kiitos kovasti!! Oli kyllä mukava kokeilu ja tosiaan löytyi muutamia aivan ihania reseptejä suosikkilistaan :)

    Tee ihmeessä aiheesta e-book, sille varmasti olisi lukijoita! Olen nyt tässä nautiskellut ihan "tavallisesta ruuasta" haasteen päätyttyä, mutta tiedän, että kun valoisuus alkaa kevään myötä lisääntymään, lisääntyy luonnostaan myös raakaruuan määrä.

    Aivan ihanaa, tunnelmallista joulua sinulle <3
