My favorite gazpacho

Gazpacho (chilled soup)

YUM

I came up with this gazpacho using my brain power and creativity....

Nahhhhh, I just threw random stuff in the blender!

hahah

I was expecting something blah, 

but it was SO GOOD!

What you will need:

*Vitamix Blender*

*2 large tomatoes*

*1/2 of a cucumber*

*handful of basil (more if you like the taste)*

*pinch of salt*

*juice of a lime, not to much*

*1/8 of an avocado*

*some water*

If you want, I noticed most gazpachos call for some olive oil...

if you choose to use it, use about 1-2 Tbsp!

Mix all the ingredients in your Vitamix blender!

It shouldn't take long for the gazpacho to be ready to slurrrrp.

;)

Top with your extra avocado, cucumber, tomato, and basil :)

I would recommend putting toppings on it and using a bit in every bite!

YUMMY YUMMY IN MY TUMMY!

I <3 THIS GAZPACHO!

Pasta pasta pasta, a new way!

Zucchini Pasta w/ Raw Marinara

"Who woulda thunk ;)"

YES, you read the description right, ZUCCHINI PASTA!
It is soooo yum! 
At first I was a little thrown off... but when I got home last night and noticed this on the counter...........

 I ran right to the refrigerator and grabbed my zucchini!!!!

 

LOOK HOW FLIPPIN' COOL THIS IS!!!

It is also, hands down, the easiest little thing to use !!

FullyRawKristina's Spirilizer!!

What you will need:

For the "pasta"

*A Spirilizer*

(or cut the zucchini into thin strips.. I did that before I got my spirilizer)

*2 little zucchini's*

For the Marinara:

*Vitamix*

*2 tomatoes*

(REMOVE THE SEEDS).. my marinara was watery 

*1 Celery Stalk*

*Lemon Juice (to taste, not to much)*

*handful of cilantro*

*handful of basil*

*half of a red bell pepper*

(I think adding some green onion would be yummy, I am going to try that next time)

Then pour your Marinara on top of your zuchinni pasta 

AND SCARFFF!

*Remember* 

This is made with 100% veggies, eat as much as you want to!!!!

XOXO 

Salad Time !

Welcome, My Favorite Salad!

Have you ever heard of "Eating the Rainbow" ?! 

Well that's what you should do, at least

once a day!!!

Throw as many veggies into a bowl, even veggies you don't like!

There are so many veggies you won't even 

notice they are there !!

What I put in my HUGE salads:

*VEGGIES*

Spinach

Collard Greens

Kale

Cilantro

Basil

Green Onion

Zucchini

Tomatoes

Carrots

Celery

*PROTEIN/NUTS/SEEDS*

Quinoa

Raw; almonds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and pistachios

Raw Goji Berries

and 

Organic Raisins

*DRESSING*

Guacamole

(made with only tomato and lemon juice)

FIRST:

*Wash your GREENS!*

They may be Organic, but you should always

wash your veggies!!

Toss them up!

Mix them up!

Shake, Shake, Shake 

Dry off your GREENS and put  them in a big ol' bowl!!!!!!!

Getting my protein in, QUINOA

all day, every day!

yum yum yum :)

Add in your "RAINBOW" of veggies!!

Don't be afraid to load up!

Now for the Nuts, Goji Berries and Raisins !

Finally add your Guacamole

(this guac includes ONLY tomatoes and lemon juice)

Look at that GREEN GUACAMOLE!!!!!!!

It's pure deliciousness 

:)

<3

What I hope you take away from this post:

*Eat the rainbow :)

*Load up on veggies, do not worry about the "calories"

 if you aren't using fatty calorie filled dressings,

eat to your hearts content!

*Make sure to get protein in your salad like quinoa, beans, or anything you like

*Eat an array of nuts and seeds, be careful not to eat to much (like they say, to much of a good thing [healthy fat] can be a bad thing)

*Make your dressings, HEALTHY!

Throw the fatty calorie filled yucky dressings away!

BE HEALTHY, STAY FIT, WORK HARD!

You rock!
