Not enough healthy food around? Here’s my tips

My little boy is forever opening the fridge to peer into it, looking for something to eat. He’s a fruit bat, so, generally, so long as I have fruits, he’s happy.

That got me thinking.

I have received emails from people saying they don’t have access to healthful raw food to eat when they are out there working. What to do?

Here’s my tip! Always make extra when you create your masterpieces.

Juicing carrots this morning? Make extra, keep in the glass jar and pop them into the fridge. Bring the drink to work. I know, I know that experts say juice biodegrade, and we should always take them fresh, but who has all that time? It’s not like there’s a juicer at the office pantry right?

Another good tip to know is that vegetable juice lasts longer than fruit juices, plus it’s way healthier. You can keep vegetable juice for about 2 days in the fridge. So, yeah, make large batches of them.

Keep your recipes simple. Simple food are faster to make. You see, the raw food diet is a just a mindset in my opinion. People think there’s all sorts of rules to eating raw food, and that raw food creations are complicated. But no. That’s one of the reasons why hubby and I like raw food. Durians don’t take much time to cut, open and eat. Full of protein, and tastes yummy! My family and I always pop extra into the freezer, and eat the ones from the freezer, ice cold, creamy like ice cream. My raw smoothies take, the most, 5 minutes to make as well, and the kids love them. There’s always a big jug of some drink in the fridge everyday. Raw vegan ice creams and raw vegan puddings take about 5 mins – 15 mins to make as opposed to cooked ice creams and puddings take a while to make. Healthy stuff. And I try to make more, though often times, they disappear too fast.

In my previous blog at eatrawfoodtoday.blogspot.com, I always encourage people to eat more raw food, as opposed to totally cutting off cooked food. Way too radical for most people. Once a enthusiastic raw foodie realizes how easy it is to eat raw food, generally, they tend to eat more of it as they go along. Not as hard as people perceive.
