Day 3 Raw Foods are so simple

We have not had power because of a ice storm but we are back now. It is day 3 of my raw food detox. My old clothes starting to fit again. I'm loving it! It is so simple and easy to do raw food. One thing I've been craving lately is cantaloupes. They are very high in vitamins A and C, and they have more beta carotene than oranges. Another neat thing is they come in their own serving container. All you have to do is clean a spoon. They are also very high in antioxidants. Most people thump them to tell if they are ripe. If the sound is hollow, they are not very ripe. Dents and spots mean they are getting over ripe. Another way that you can tell is to scratch and sniff the blossom end. It should smell sweet. Usually you can find cantaloupes for pretty cheap, so that is another reason to keep some on hand.
So, I'm feeling good, still juicing and still doing smoothies, but I am also eating raw whole foods now. I'm am making sure to get a variety fruits and vegetables, but I've been loving the cantaloupes lately. Fen loves them too! He knows when we are getting ready to eat raw foods. It's the same for bananas...he comes running! So, tell me, what is YOUR favorite raw food?
I'm Steve, please like, subscribe, and peace and carrots!

That scratch stiff test for canteloupe I've never heard of. Good way to test it though, thanks for that tip. All those fruits with color, cantaloupes, papayas, mangos, watermelons, are all favorites. Bananas are good for on the go.

***** those are JoAnn's favorites too

My favorite fruit is the mango. Mango for the win! Bananas make a close second. You are correct...this is the simplest way to eat! And yummy!

I'd have to say cantaloupe is definitely at the top of my list of favorite fruits, but really whatever fruit is at it's peak of ripeness is my favorite. A perfectly ripe mango is like heaven, but they are far and few between.

My fave fruit lately has been strawberries and for raw veggies I LOVE yellow peppers! I eat the whole pepper like an apple and my co-workers think I'm a bit crazy. They always ask why I don't get a dip for my veggies, but that would just hide the awesome flavor of the vegetable!

EasilyChanged yeah, I'm the person who likes to have something on my veggies, either a vegan ranch or hummus.

I blended peeled cantaloupe with seeds with Sunfoods raw protein powder and 1/2 cup almond milk and honey in vitamix. Added some adaptegen herbs for my brain. Viola

Your videos are awesome, I love your energy! My favorite raw food is zoodles for sure, but you have to put a zucchini through a spiralizer so my favorite grab and go is tomato. I can eat them whole. I love them.

Wandering Vegan thanks! My favorite tomato is the Roma

Steve T Crider I will say I also put cilantro in and on everything. juice, wraps (raw of course), zoodles, my favorite.

Wandering Vegan I use cilantro sometimes, but I don't like things very spicy and to me cilantro makes things spicy. It's very good for you though

Steve T Crider Hi Steve. Highly recommend trying the jackfruit if you get a chance. It tastes like juicy fruit gum :-)

Cantaloupe, watermelon, strawberries and kiwi. I could eat cantaloupe all day long! :) My two dogs love veggies; I cannot peel, cut or slice cucumbers, carrots, green beans or raw potatoes (I'm not fully raw) without those two running into the kitchen and whining. My older beagle will dig her nails into the sides of my legs like she's in a panic for cucumbers and green beans almost like a junkie for their drug fix. Love my baby girls. :)

Mangos all day

@gillgamas 9 жыл бұрын

KStar Games what is the best way to peel them? And that seed in the middle!? They drive me crazy!!!

@kstar2k 9 жыл бұрын

Steve T Crider lol I understand they are intimidating. I actually didn't eat on until I was 29 yrs old!! I am from Upstate NY where they didn't sell Mangos and moved to Las Vegas at 29.. the first one I tried was too hard, second one was totally mushy and then the third was perfect. Heres how to peel like a pro... Cut the mango along the seed in the center. ... Take the smaller portion that you cut off and find where the flesh meets the skin. 3. Align that part with the edge of the glass - and push! There you have it. Consider your life changed!!! lifehacker.com/how-to-peel-a-mango-in-under-10-seconds-1603398060 You should be able to smell the Mangos through the house if you have a perfectly ripe one and its a wonderful thing. Go enjoy one alone or with smoothies.
