Nice thing about a raw diet, is there is always something "new" to try.
Last night I felt like Goldilocks! On my way home from work, I stopped at the Grocer. Not my regular grocer, but one around the corner. To my surprise the door was open, I just stepped on the magic carpet and the door opened up. I went in, and I found the most wonderful produce. Somehow my eyes had been opened. I hadn't gone to this grocer in awhile since it was the "cheaper" grocer, and they sometimes carry sub-standard fruits and veggies, not the type of produce you want when changing to a raw diet.
There was a large variety of produce that I was surprised by; they carry dandelion greens, kale, Chinese pears (which I have never seen before, but will be picking up soon). Upon my travels, I came across the most wonderful box of dates. I couldn't believe my eyes! Now, this is where I truly felt like Goldilocks!
I had only previously seen (and eaten) dates in bulk. The bulk dates are pretty gooey and sweet. They are great for a variety of raw food recipes, but I find them a bit much to eat alone (unless I am having an uncontrollable sweet tooth).
The dates I bought last night weren't too sweet, they weren't too gooey, they were just right! I ate a whole bowl and went right to bed (hopefully no bear will wake me!).
I have found a new favourite, and something that I would have never imagined purchasing before. I am a happy girl today, with a new love of dates!
PS - I successfully recommitted 100% yesterday, and am now on day 2. I just have to remember all of the benefits of a 100% raw diet - and yes, mind clarity is definitely one of them!
