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