Raw Food Menu: June 2, 2013 & Meal Plan Week Eleven
ingredients
- 2 big handfuls greens (kale, romaine, etc) ($.75)
- 3 bananas, sliced and frozen ($.75)
- 1 cup blueberries ($1.00)
- 2 tablespoon ground flax seeds ($.20)
- 4 tablespoons hemp protein powder ($.90)
- about 2 cups water for blending
I love making big, sweet, hearty green smoothies in the morning, and
this is what I had this morning. I’m pretty sure I put just about
everything I had in it, hence the name “(everything but the) Kitchen
Sink Smoothie!”
My blender is small and weak, poor thing (but has lasted forever), so I
blend my greens first. If you don’t have a VitaMix or other high powered
blender, this might work better for you, too. They get pretty smooth if
I process them for a minute or two.
I also used Manitoba Harvest Hemp Pro 50, 50% Protein Powder, 32-Ounce which is my favorite hemp powder. Manitoba Harvest leaves all the good omega-3s intact.
Just blend everything well until smooth and serve.
Salad
4 oz lettuce (1.30)
1 cup watermelon, chopped (1.50)
1 tomato, sliced ($1.00)
1 cucumber, sliced ($.50)
1 small onion, sliced ($.20)

1 tablespoon tahini ($.20)
4 dates ($.40)
1 orange, peeled ($.50)
1 clove garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Red pepper flakes
Assemble the salad by arranging the greens and then topping with the watermelon, tomato, cucumber, and onion. Then, in a small blender, process the mango, tahini, dates, orange, garlic, salt, and pepper until very smooth. Pour over the salad and top with red pepper flakes. Any leftover dressing will last a day or two in the refrigerator.

Here’s a short Meal Plan video, if you want to know more about how it works. About 1,000 people have tried the meal plans so far and the feedback has been great. I’ve heard from people who’ve greatly lowered their dosage of insulin, moms who want some help staying organized on raw, a grandma who has lost almost 30 pounds. I’m really pleased they seem to help people and be a useful tool for staying on a raw lifestyle.
that cheesecake looks magnificent! yum!
Thank you, GFHT :).
Is there a tomato in the sweet potato noodles? It says the soup may warm up? Thanks for all you do!
Oops, that was a total typo, thanks for pointing it out! I've edited it and the recipe is as it should be now.
Girl, you are so clever!! I just adore your recipes.
Peace and Raw Health,
Elizabeth
TY Elizabeth!
Green never looked so tasty as on your header! Cool.
Thanks Cheryl!
How long should almonds be soaked?
Hi dajewel … in the cheesecake recipe above the almonds should be soaked for at least several hours and overnight is better. They don't need to be dehydrated after.
