Paper Scraps Vol 1 : Raw Energy
The idea of Paper Scraps came me to today as I sat rifling through countless newspaper and magazine articles related to food and health that I have cut and saved with the hope of getting around to eventually reading and implementing them in my life. But I also don't want the information to get lost, so recording them in my blog seemed like a great idea. They would be there for quick reference if I needed them and also for others to share.
RAW ENERGY
-----------
1. Instead of a cooked breakfast or processed cereal, enjoy a bowl of fresh fruit salad or a fresh fruit smoothie. Adding active yoghurt boosts your protein intake
2. Eat two salads a day and make one into a huge, power salad. These can be made with sprouted seeds, capsicum, herbs, carrots, beetroots and apples.
3. Ease up on coffee and cut out soft drinks and processed juices. Increase water and natural juice intake.
4. Eat plenty of non-starchy fresh vegetables.
5. Get good quality protein from chicken, lean meat, soy products and fish.
6. Use cold-presses extra virgin olive oil, flaxseed oil and walnut oil on your salads.
7. Sprinkle unroasted and unsalted raw nuts and seeds on your food whenever you can.
RAW ENERGY MEAL SUGGESTIONS
----------------------------
1. A fruit salad with crushed nuts on top with a scoop of yoghurt.
2. A berry smoothie made with a few scoops of whey protein powder.
3. Gazpacho Soup.
4. Grilled salmon with raw vegetable salad made from avocado, carrots, capsicum, celery, nuts and mushroom.
5. Chicken Curry on a bed of brown rice with raw julienned vegetables.
6. Carrot Sticks and Salsa.
