Going fully raw isn’t easy. But remember you don’t have to become fully raw to reap the benefits. Adding raw foods to your regular diet can be helpful as well. Try by starting out with 1 meal a day raw – breakfast might be the easiest and I have a raw smoothie recipe below to help! You can double this recipe if you want to consume more – this recipe makes a 16 oz smoothie.

You could also jump right in to the Raw food world and try a raw food cleanse to see if the diet is right for you. First check out our previous post “What Can A Raw Food Cleanse Do For You?”. We have apps for trying a cleanse out. You can do 3 days, 7 days, 14 days or 28 days. These cleanses will help rejuvenate your body, mind and even your spirit. If you can feel a difference after 3 days – imagine what it would feel like after 28 days! AMAZING! Our apps simply give you loads of recipes (smoothies ((like this one below)), juices, soups, salads, entrees and snacks). We also let you track your foods, exercise, water intake and weight – because one benefit to a cleanse is weight loss! Let me know if you have any questions about these apps or suggestions you’d like to see in them by contacting me here.
