Jan 19, Day 19 Raw


Looks like I might be able to do a little grocery shopping tomorrow. It is certainly time to add variety to my diet. I've been stretching the hummus/taboule thing for DAYS. This cannot be healthy!

I've been doing a little internet searching for new foods to add to my repertoire. This is Dr. Mercola's list for the best vegetables to eat on a raw food diet:

  • Asparagus
  • Avocado
  • Beet greens
  • Bok Choy
  • Broccoli
  • Brussel sprouts
  • Cauliflower
  • Celery
  • Chicory
  • Chinese cabbage
  • Chives
  • Collard greens
  • Dandelion greens
  • Endive
  • Escarole
  • Fennel
  • Green and red cabbage
  • Kale
  • Kohlrabi
  • Lettuce: romaine, red leaf, green leaf
  • Mustard greens
  • Onions
  • Parsley
  • Peppers: red, green, yellow and hot
  • Tomatoes
  • Turnips
  • Spinach
  • Zucchini

    I can't imagine eating raw brussels sprouts or asparagus but I'm willing to try raw zucchini and any of the green leafies. Dr. Joseph Mercola's website www.mercola.com is chock full of interesting health and nutrition information and well worth checking out. He is a skeptic, as am I, so I enjoy reading his articles.
