Foray Into Raw Foods

Long ago in a faraway place...
Sounds like a story coming on, hold tight and I will make it short.
I was in my 20's and living in a one bedroom flat with a wooden door and a foam pad I had propped up flat on cinder blocks for my bed. I was traveling and settled light those days.
I went on the Master Cleanse Diet. I was having a lot of upper respiratory colds and infections and a friend told me about it. I was a waitress at the time and I lasted 3 days then went on to eating only raw foods. Veggies, Fruits, Sprouts and Wheatgrass. I did this for about 2 years. I was healthy and managed quiet well. My mother was the only one who regularly would stress on her weekly phone calls to me.
Over the years of course I brought back into my life the foods I had ignored. Dating a pasty chef and a sous chef made it easy to do!
Which brings us up to now;
This latest bout of Bronchial Pneumonia has scared me enough to begin the Master Cleanse 6 days and now breaking fast with raw foods again. I don't plan on just doing a raw foods diet but I do plan on keeping mostly raw foods on my plate and working hard to stay healthy.
The reason I am telling you this is I will be blogging about the foods and if you want to try some well, jump right in. You might actually enjoy a few. Oh, and I will be using ONLY organic food.
My first is,
Coco Avo
1/2banana
1/4 avocado
1 Tbsp finely shredded coconut
6 crushed walnut pieces
Did you know Avocado is a Fruit, and it tastes yummy with banana!
Mash up the 1st three ingredients together with a fork, then stir in the walnuts and eat.
This kind of eating is healthy and simple.
More involved creating with raw foods to come late...
