Before I get to my cleansing eats I want to share something fun. On Monday I was guest blogger on Bitt of Raw. It was Bitt’s post: 10 ways anyone can include MORE raw food into one’s diet that inspired me to go higher raw.
Stop by Bitt’s great blog for information on vegan, gluten-free and raw eats, and check out GUEST POST: JL goes high raw!

The Cleanse is on!
Last Friday my nutrition counselor, Jill, wrote a guest post describing the cleanse I’m on. It’s day four and it’s going well — I dragged a bit on Sunday and Monday because I crash hard when I go off coffee. I’m feeling energetic today, though!
In the morning I’m enjoying mostly raw breakfasts of green juice or green smoothies and my “snacks” mid-day are either raw juice or raw vegetables.
Here are some of the other meals from the meal plan that Jill put together for me:
Nutty Rice Porridge Breakfast
Quinoa-Date-Almond Salad with Olive Oil & Lemon Juice Dressing
Red Beans and Rice
Vegetable-Quinoa Soup with Wakame
See, cleansing is yummy! I love this food!
I made the porridge and the brown rice in the rice cooker and the quinoa, vegetable soup, red beans and vegetable soup all in the pressure cooker. By the way, this was my first batch of quinoa (mixed with red quinoa) in the pressure cooker
and it came out perfect!
This weekend on the cleanse: three raw days! I’ll be enjoying mostly juice, plus a few raw meals. I’ll post them next week.

I’m still working on the follow-up posts to my trip to San Francisco and Napa Valley. Posts on the Cakebread Cellars and Schug Carneros Estate tastings really are coming soon!
One thought on “This is cleansing? Nutty porridge, red beans & rice, quinoa salad, and more!”
