Our little girl is going to be a month old tomorrow - time flies! Also my husband goes back to work after being home with us and being a great help, not sure how I will manage without him being here 24/7! And on top of all I've decided to give another go with raw food transition, starting tomorrow. Is it a good time to start now when I'll be on my own with a month old baby and an active toddler? Time will show. I guess this is as good time as any other.
So the plan is to start with Natalia Rose's raw food transition - no radical changes at once, but a more gentle and sensible transition. It still means leaving out lots of "baddies" such as bread, processed meat, cow's cheese - all my favourites. I also need to make sure I get enough protein as I'm breast feeding. I'll do lots of juicing and green smoothies to get plenty of nutrition from fresh fruit and vegetables. I'm under no illusion that it's going to be easy - I do give in to temptations very easily and when I'm stressed I often choose the easy, not so health options. And I'm bound to be stressed looking after 2 kids - at least until I get a hang of it.
I'm hoping that I'll also have more time to keep my blog journal about the progress, even if it's just a quick update from my mobile.
To start off, here is a delicious raw food ice cream recipe I made few days ago, courtesy of Raw Mums:
1 frozen banana
1 fresh banana
1-2 cups of frozen cherries (or blueberries or strawberries)
handful of fresh cherries, pitted and halved
agave syrup for taste
Blend frozen banana and cherries and fresh banana in blender until smooth and creamy, adding some agave or maple syrup. Serve with fresh berries on top, delicious! Any left over can be frozen to be eaten later.
