Day 2 Raw Food Challenge

Hi Everyone,
Well day 2 is almost over and I am feeling fantastic. Not hungry, tired, deprived or bloated, which is how I usually feel (especially when I go on yet another diet!!!). So breakfast it was a green smoothie, and let me tell you it was one of the best ones I have ever made.
It had 2 frozen banana's, to give it a thick texture, 3 fresh dates (pitted!), a handful of baby spinach. 4 leaves of cos lettuce and a squeeze of lime.Yumm ;)  I made salad and packed some fresh fruit for my lunch and left it on the kitchen table...arghhhh. So off to the fruit shop for lunch where I got some grapes, dates and a couple of plums.
Now that did me easily till dinner where I made a tomato rice special. I put parsnip and zucchini for the (rice) in the blender till it becomes a rice consistency.  For the sauce I blended 1 tomato 1/2 a red onion 2 garlic cloves (I love garlic) 1/2 cup semi dried tomatoes, 1 tbsp olive oil some coriander and blend.  It was really yummy and light, didn't leave you with that bloated heavy feeling pasta does.
So feeling really good, still waiting for the detox headaches to start though...lol
Till tomorrow, seeya :)
