Eating raw is yummy!

Just had a yummy lunch, so I had to drop a line and tell you all about it!  I picked up a beautiful big head of romaine lettuce yesterday, so I took two big leaves, spread some hummus on them, sprinkled some sprouted beans on (I bought them already sprouted at the grocery store - I know you can make your own, but I just haven’t gotten that adventurous yet!), put some cut up cherry tomatoes on, rolled them up lengthwise and voila!  A raw burrito! 

I have to tell you I was a little skeptical at first, after all, how can lettuce and sprouts taste delicious!  But you know what - it was delicious!  I think it must have been the sweetness of the tomato, mixed with the punch of the hummus, and the crunch of the lettuce and sprouts.  Whatever it was, I am having the same thing for lunch tomorrow!

Oh ya, I had a green smoothie this morning with apple, banana, strawberries and spinach.  Yum - I should have energy all day!

Confession time - I still haven’t given up my half cup of coffee in the morning - guess if that is my only vice I am not doing so bad!  (And the Friday night glass of wine Wink)

ps - my knee is improving, although I am not back to running yet - needs a bit more rest!
