Day 1 of my Raw Food Bliss (or so I am hoping!)

 Ok, I am starting my 21 days of Raw Food Goodness.

The only things that will not be raw are my organic cup of coffee and glass of organic wine everyday.  There is only so much I can ask of myself.  ;)

This morning brought a glass of mixed veggie juice and coffee.

This afternoon was a power packed smoothie with tons of greens, avocado, bananas...in a base of water...not bad, but not great.

Tonight will be a cucumber sandwich.  Recipe below. 

Later tonight will be wine.  Oh yes.

Cucumber Sandwich

Serves 2

Ingredients

1 cucumber
1 avocado (small cubes)
1 tomato small cubes)
Squeeze of lime
salt & (cayenne)pepper
few cilantro leafs

Directions

1.     Peel the cucumber (optional)

2.     Cut cucumber lengthwise and horizontally. You now have 4 long "boats".

3.     With a spoon, scoop out the inner (soft) part of the cucumber.

4.     Put all other ingredients in a bowl. Mix gently.

5.     Fill the inner part of the cucumber with the avocado mixture.

6.     Eat as "boats" or put the other (empty) half of the cucumber on top of the filled one. (You have now a "whole" cucumber. Wrap with plastic wrap. Perfect for when on the go.

Tip

1.     Try this recipe with tapenade, pesto, nut pate, nut cheese, mellon or other filling!

2.     Great in your lunch box or on the go.
