I've recently tried to convert to a raw diet but found that it was difficult. So I've altered my blog to represent the fact that I'm gonna be cooking healthy vegetarian cooking. I'll be focusing on whole foods, lacto-ovo vegetarian, vegan and raw foods!
Why would you choose to eat raw?

Chocolate Pudding on a raw diet?
Yes sir! You can have chocolate pudding on a raw diet! I just made it and had it. Even let my sister and niece try it, both of who gave it a polite if not enthusiastic thumbs up. I think in part because, even before they knew what was in it, they knew it wasn't dairy so there was some reluctance to like it.
A big plus to this desert was that it was so easy!
Raw Chocolate Pudding
2 cups avocados
1/4 cup cocoa
1/4 agave nectar
4 dates (soaked at least 45 minutes)
1/4 cup date water
3 tbs fresh squeezed orange Juice
2 tsp orange zest
Throw in a blender till creamy. Keeps for two or three days in the fridge.
This is really good but there are a few things to note. I made two batches, one with Haas Avocados and a second one with Florida Avocados. The Haas seemed to work much better. There really was no comparing. Also I found no hint of Orange in the recipe so I don't think it is necessary. There are a number of different recipes on line, check other ones out. tell me what you think.
Today went pretty well. I had the previously stated Breakfast and lunch. For dinner i was pretty lazy and finished off the Sunburgers. I wasn't sure That I could make it through four days and was even starting to wonder if I could do a full three to four weeks. I'm now thinking I could. So I will finish up tomorrow and take the weekend off. But I will be careful not to eat wild. Thanks for the support out there! Nancy, I know you are keeping up with my blog while on vacation, right? lol Talk to ya when ya get back! Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteHi there!! I'm Joe's sister & didn't realize you had a blog. Very interesting!! I like!! I have a recipe for a chocolate cream pie made with tofu. I'm sure you could tweak the crust & the chocolate chips in it to fit your needs. If you would like it, let me know. Also, I follow a great blog by a woman who is vegan & sucessfully became a lifetimer at Weight Watchers, if you'd like that for some tips/inspiration. One question, how long have you been diabetic? I was diagnosed about 4 years ago, maybe we could share tips & such.... Keep up the good work!!!!
