Plumangoberry Smoothie

PEEEEAAAAACCCCCCEEEEEEE!!!!!!

Guess who's back!??

I couldn't remember my login to save my life...b.u.t I am here and it feels good!

There has been so much going on in the Cipher in the last few months; all of my Twitter fam knows what's up. *smile*

Let me bless you with a new smoothie video, this is so good and good for you!

Me and my Sick Cipher

Peace!

Our whole household is sick with the flu. Fever, mucus, all that nasty stuff. As of right now I don't have it nearly as bad as my boyfriend, who has pretty much been down for the count as of Friday, b.u.t I can feel it in my chest and I've been coughing since last night. My poor little baby has a fever, some coughing, b.u.t it's mainly to rid the mucus. Yuck.

*frown*

I think last time I had the flu was......I don't know. It's been a very very long time. All I know is that I don't like it.

There's lots of lemons, ginger, and cayenne circulating throughout the kitchen trying to alleviate some of our discomfort. I haven't even really been hungry. I just hope I don't get the full degree my boyfriend did. *frown*

I'm such a whimp when I get sick. =^_^=

Happy New Year (a day late!)

PEACE!!

Tomorrow is the end of our juice fast even though as of yesterday we're now officially Fruitarian. Woot!

I miss the whole concept of chewing so I put my coconut water in the freezer until it got nice and slushy and digging in. I never got to drink it yesterday either. =)

How did you celebrate the New Year?

Spring Equinox is the Next Level

Peace!

Spring is fast approaching and I'm really wanting to reap the best of this season and be in tune with myself more than I feel I have been recently.

My sweetie Divine, and I, will be partaking in a juice fast from March 18-22nd. The day after we will be eating strictly a fruitarian diet (I just keep going up the ladder, right?). We still get caught on the hook of occasional cooked food and I hate the way it makes me feel after I eat it (drowsy and sick). I'm tired of cleaning them skillets! =^_^=

I feel personally, this is the best way for me to stay raw. I'm still doing the knowledge on it, and if you'd like to learn more about it check out this link on how to become a fruitarian.

On a more positive note I am feeling better. I have been eating more broccoli and variety of greens and also squeezing a lemon (vitamin c) over the greens to help with the absorption of iron. =)

So this will elevate the remainder of my 120 day raw food experiment. I can carry my food around in my bookbag while out and about and not have to worry about leaky containers. Woot!

Raw when Anemic?

Peace,

Hmmmm....I think I'm anemic...again.

I have been in the past, especially during my pregnancies b.u.t if I am indeed going through anemia again, it will explain why I am so tired all the time.

Maybe I need to take an iron supplement or decide if I really do need to strive for 100% raw or not. When I was pregnant the drs tried to get me to eat red meat and THAT wasn't happening.

I will have to do some research to figure out my plan of action and how I can continue eating raw and getting the iron that I need in my system.

Any tips or ideas?

Peace

Day 3/120

Peace!

I'm about to make some tea and munch on an orange and apple.

The snow is still outside in abundance and I really miss the warmer weather that I became accustomed to during this time of year.

Yesterday I feasted on an amazing smoothie...it made a lot and made me think of the tropics:

Tropical Smoothie

• 1 mango diced
• 6 strawberries
• 1 kiwi
• juice of 1 lime
• bee pollen (optional)
• sweetner of choice
• Dole pina colada juice (not necessary b.u.t it's what I used)

Blend and enjoy!

Peace!

Officially on Youtube

Woot!



Tell me what you think!

In the Raw

Peace!

So yesterday we set out on our Raw journey; we probably should've eaten the non raw food in our fridge the day before to avoid it going to waste. The rest of our day prior to dinner time was raw so...I'm going to chalk that up to a 'test run' =^_^= Back to our regulary scheduled programming.

It's frigid outside and we got blasted by snow last night-so much for that springtime feeling just yet. I did purchase my video cam, and may do a smoothie video today to put up on Youtube.

I've created a new account, so request me as a friend and subscribe so I can keep you updated on everything from raw food, to the lastest artwork, culture and life in the Boro of Queens!

So this morning we're feasting on a smoothie made of carrot juice, mango, strawberry, banana and a splash of banana/pineapple/oj juice.

Lunch and dinner will be salads and/or smoothies.

That's pretty much it!

Peace!

120 Days 100% Raw

Peace!

So I've decided to stop b.s'ing b/c Spring is right around the corner and I would like to ring in the New Year (not the Gregorian New Year, b.u.t the Asiatic one) as in tune with myself (Earth) as possible. I've fluctuated in degrees of Raw for about a month, so on March 1st, I'm going 120 days of 100% Raw. The whole household will be partaking in this, especially since I'm the one preparing the meals!

At one point, I missed cooking. I missed the satisfaction of throwin' down and gettin' props on a bomb ass dish. To be honest now, I'm tired of it. I remembered how much time I spent in the kitchen (too much!). I'd rather use that time to build with my family or do something for myself.

I may actually cave in and get a video cam, and if I do, I will be documenting my journey on YouTube. Werd.

You may even come with me to Bed Bath and Beyond while I re-stock my culinary supplies (b/c they're still in Florida).

Peace!
