Today I had a great telephone conversation with Bob McCauley. He can be found at http://watershed.net yet to sum it up, we spoke of the freshest things in life: GREENS! I have been eating a raw food diet for 9 years yet have not yet thrived. Oh sure, I have had some great days and tons of fun, yet just at the time I got into eating raw, it was "in vogue" to eat lots of raw plant fat. This trend has not lessened in the raw circles that spin around the festivals and Facebook.
Last year at Raw Spirit Fest Dr. Doug Graham got up on the stage and said, "This is a raw food festival, and there is no produce for sale!" The sad part, except for one small fruit stand, is that this was true. OK, there was one other vendor that had some cucumbers and tomatoes but when I went there to purchase some cucumbers he said he could only sell me three; he was almost out!
Greens, greens, greens! It is so easy, so obvious, yet so many of us tend to overlook that which is right under our nose. When I go for walks (I live in the Country) ALL that I see is GREEN! There are rabbits, boar, fox, deer, and an occasional bear wandering around and they are eating greens. The rabbits and deer are so fast, so lithe, and incredibly strong. I long to be strong, yet quick, light on my feet, clean, and green!
Lately I have been blending blueberries, strawberries, cinnamon, garlic, cucumber and spinach in the Vitamix. I was putting lots of spirulina in it and Ancient Sun Nutrition's Blue Green Algae, http://www.ancientsunnutrition.com yet the last couple of days tried it without. I think tomorrow I will add it back in; much more energizing, however, sometimes I like to drink my Blue Green Algae in water in the morning and have my spirulina in my smoothies and green soups later in the day.
Bob McCauley says he puts green powders like these on everything!
I think Bob may have more energy than anyone I have ever met. I am totally inspired and so will close now and go pump iron!!!!
Happy June, the time of year when greens are thriving and you too!
