DAY FOUR - Diary of a Raw Foodist

August 4, 2009 - Toronto, ON - Turns out the day wasn't so nice, unless you're a fan of hail and thunderstorms. Nevertheless, the food continues to be amazing. Here's what was for lunch and dinner for day FOUR of the raw food challenge:

Lunch: Pumpkin Pie in a Bowl
Ingredients:

• 2 cups of carrot juice
• 3/4 cup chopped butternut squash
• 1/4 avocado
• 1 tsp of agave nectar
• generous sprinkle of cinnamon
• small sprinkle of nutmeg
• dash of salt

Directions:
Blend all ingredients in a blender until smooth and creamy. sooooooo GOOD!


Dinner: Spicy Corn Guacamole in lettuce wraps
Ingredients:

• 1 avocado
• juice of half a lime
• 1/4 cup of chopped tomatoes
• 1 chipotle pepper (or however spicy you like it)
• 1 clove of garlic
• dash of salt and pepper
• 1/2 corn from the cob
• large leafed lettuce (I used a unique head of lettuce I picked up at the market on the weekend)

Directions:
Scoop out the avocado meat and place in a bowl with the chopped tomatoes, corn and minced garlic, salt and pepper. Add the chopped chipotle pepper slowly adjusting to the spicyness you want. mash all together with a fork until you get a smoother consistency. place a spoonful on the leaf of lettuce and roll up like a fajita to eat!
