I'll copy paste my menu here in a second, but first I want to say, if you'd like to join me, I believe that 3 days of raw is better than none! And 2 weeks is better than 3 days... I'm aiming for a month, but as the mother of young children, my life has enough stress without this causing me anxiety as well, so if it's not a pleasant experience, I'm out! I've created a 2-week menu, and if I'm enjoying it, I'll repeat the 2 weeks again.

Tips: drink water only, with fruit slices to flavor, unless you have a juicer!
Keep raw nuts, seeds, and dried fruit in a container in your purse or car, for the munchies!
If you don’t have a food processor, a blender should be fine, though maybe more effort.
If you're joining in, email me at hale dot crys at gmail dot com, and I will email you with the recipes. And let me know if you have any questions!
I love this idea, and the dishes sound fantastic! I don't know if it's practical for me to dive in 100% since the availability of fresh, organic produce here is nearly non existent and raw nuts and seeds, when available, are ridiculously cost-prohibitive, BUT I am always wanting to try more creative raw food recipes. I definitely would love to try at least some of these ... maybe a raw meal a day? :) Emailing you!
