Ugh! Last night and today detox really hit me hard. My sleep was completely screwed up, and I'm feeling terrible today. I need to remember that this is what wheat does to me whenever pastry or bread looks good to me. I have this photo on the pantry cupboard to remind me what I am working for. It was taken in 1993.
I've not made the buckwheat bikkies yet, and will hopefully be able to do that tomorrow. I'm looking forward to them. Though I need to melt the coconut oil before adding it because it is solid!
I've made some butternut pumpkin (squash) bikkies and cheesecake, however I think the pumpkin is too rich for me as my innards weren't as appreciative as my taste buds were. I'll have to go through my "Have Your Cake and Eat It, Too" recipe book ~ http://tinyurl.com/lwfcsu ~ to see what other yummy treats I can find.
If you would like my recipe for a guacamole smoothie, then go to http://tinyurl.com/dfqdd7 and type "guacamole" into the search box. I have also been making a normal guacamole to eat. Here is what I use:
* avocado
* 1/2 loose leaf lettuce (remove the core as this is bitter)
* two roma tomatoes
* clove garlic, crushed
* teaspoon kelp powder
* teaspoon turmeric
* teaspoon cummin
* pinch chili powder
* small lemon, juiced
* a little water to help blend
You can add some red capsicum (bell pepper) as well if you like. I use the pulp from the lemon as well as the juice: just make sure no seeds go in! This is a lovely, thick guacamole and is full of flavour as well as goodness. If you are wanting something crunchy, then you could spread the guacamole onto corn thins or rice cakes. I don't do this any longer, as it triggers my desire to binge on wheat. Corn thins and rice cakes are a fantastic intermediate food when first transitioning to raw.
Tonight I'm having a lovely mango smoothie with soaked chia seeds, bananas, and baby English spinach. Mmmm.......
Blessings,
