Cherimoya June 2, 2007

Oh, my god! I have never tasted anything quite so scrumptious as a cherimoya. According to Wikipedia

Mark Twain called the cherimoya “deliciousness itself”.  It was a little custardy, quite sweet, but It’s hard to describe the taste. In any case, I’m going to purchase more of them today. It was certainly worth the $5!

This morning I made an excellent smoothie with dandelion greens, baby spinach, watermelon,  and a little bit of mango (maybe a half mango) The mango was frozen, so it was a little hard to tell how much I used.

For lunch I whipped up a neat salad. 1 zucchini spiroolied into noodles, 1 avocado, juice of a 1/2 a lime, a handful of various bean sprouts purchased from whole foods, and a handful of sunflower seeds. It needed something, but I didn’t feel like just adding oil, so I threw in a little bit of garlic/lemon organic non raw salad dressing.

I’ve snacked on a couple medjool dates, and I had a bit of Mango, papaya, banana ice cream that I whipped up today. I can’t believe I didn’t know about this before. It’s so easy! Just process or blend it all, and put it in a bowl in the freezer. It tastes awesome. Especially in the heat we’ve had today.

Dinner was only sort of raw tonight. I made another salad with the sprouted beans, lettuce, pumpkin seeds, cabbage, carrots, and raw walnuts. More of the non raw dressing from lunch. I also ate 2 barbequed shrimp skewers. It was a nice treat, and I’m not feeling too guilty - also I shared a nice big bowl of cherries with the kids.

 added in late - I just ate a raw chocolate bar. I feel like I ate a lot today, but I was really hungry. I’m curious what effect this will have on my weight in the morning.
