The Skinny On January

I’ve been researching a raw vegan diet for a few days now. I have decided to go completely raw. So, in my last post I lied. Not really, but I did change my mind. What are you gonna do? We were surfing the web and looking at different meal replacements available. We went through the ingredients of all of them, even the "natural" ones. Basically, they are all crap. I don’t care what they tell you, they are no good. Sorry, get over it! Soy Protein Isolate is just not good for you no matter how you cut it. You can read why at Dr. Mercola’s site, because I just don’t have time to spell it all out for you. (Hey, a moment w/o one of the 3 kids on me are few and far between!)

You can do a "meal replacement" by yourself that will benefit your body much more than the scientifically proven a million times and then some that are available on the market. Why don’t people do this? Laziness. That’s right, people are lazy. They rather have a scoop of crap than take the time to peel an orange and put it in a blender. Maybe, it’s not laziness, but still hoping for that magic pill, or in this case the magic fake chocolate powder! They all seem to have their own patented blend of something. Be honest, you have no idea what that really is and they aren’t going to tell you!

If you want a meal replacement or a something to make sure you are getting better ingredients or whatever the reason, DO IT YOURSELF. The only way to know what is in you are eating is to make it in your own kitchen. Buy the food, prepare the food, eat the food and love it! You can make the most incredible, nutritious shakes on your own. I would personally invest in a Vitamix! They are worth every penny. You can make raw, whole fruit veggie and fruit smoothies, soups, dips, nut butters, milk and the list goes on! I use mine a couple times a day! It will change how you eat.

So, stop being lazy, or whatever other excuse you have handy and make yourself something whole, raw and yummy!
