RawFu Challenge - Day 14
Sunday, 23 August 2009Today’s theme… sentence fragments… a metaphor for my thought process.
An unproductive day. Ignored the housework. Tagged along with kids to ice skating rink for public skate. Chatted with Darren about the upcoming “school” year and our potentially overly scheduled calendar. Tried to solidify our educational and recreation expenses, so we know what to expect. In between, we made green smoothies, enjoyed some more of our homemade raw granola with almond milk, some leftover gazpacho from yesterday’s potluck, a nice salad and, few pieces of fruit, and my newest maca drink creation. Also started some more buckwheat groats sprouting, so I can start some more granola tomorrow night. Actually, a pretty low maintenance food day. I like those!
Spicy Macoa (maca + cacao) Banana Latte: a few soaked Brazil nuts, 2 cups water, 1 tsp maca, 1 tsp cacao powder, bit of vanilla powder, pinch of cinnamon, half a frozen banana, 2 soaked dates, pinch of salt, pinch of cayenne… whirl in the VitaMix… pour over ice. Nice kick!
Today’s Green Smoothie: 1 head escarole (3 more left in fridge), 1 frozen banana, 1 apple, 1 orange, 2 cups frozen yellow watermelon & water.

Oh, yeah. I forgot I bought a granola cereal to try. I might have to sneak past Dan on the couch and make some with the almond milk we made. I found a good recipe for granola bars that I am going to try and make tomorrow. I have had trouble figuring out how to make them "bars" and not just a trail mix. The bars would be much handier. I also found a website that talked about making your own deodorant. I ordered the supplies from Frontier. You can let me know if I stink! :P

I've been drooling over your granola. I have some chickpeas soaking and I want to make this recipe, only raw-i-fy it. LOL

You have me really curious about maca now. I just might have to try some!

Hmm... interesting... Chickpea granola... Of course, Joe's allergic to chickpeas, but I might try it sometime for myself... Wonder if it would work with any other kind of bean?
They sell maca at MOM's in Frederick... I believe that's where I got it. :-)

Oh crud! I can never remember which beans he's allergic to and which he's not. Sorry. :-(
I don't shop at MOM's. They are on my boycott list. I'll find the maca somewhere, I'm sure.

Well, you know, Natural Zing carries maca! :-)
