Raw Food Mondays

So I've been thinking...Why not try Raw Food Mondays? Starting tomorrow, I'm going raw one day a week. Here is the menu:

Breakfast-Banana

Lunch-Organic romaine with beets, mushrooms, carrots, cucumber, flax seeds in a raw tomato provencal dressing.

Fresh Fruit-strawberries, apple, raspberries, and pineapple

Snack-apple or Larabar

Post Run-Raw Blueberry Smoothie from Ani's Raw Food Kitchen

Dinner-??

Any ideas for dinner?

Fresh Summer Corn and Bean Salad

After a long run today, I came home to this delicious salad. I added fresh herbs and tossed everything in a red wine vinaigrette. Mmmm good.

Today's Lunch

Homemade raw pasta with zucchini, squash, carrots, pinenuts, basil, tomato, spinach, garlic, cashews, and ground flax seeds.

Sacred Chow-Vegan Bistro NYC

A few weeks ago, I went to Sacred Chow, a vegan tapas bistro located in Greenwich Village. The menu has an assortment of protein rich plates, complex carb plates, heroes, salads, fresh juices, smoothies, and desserts. If you go, defintely try the 4 seasons salad (seasonal greens, shredded beets, carrots, apples, and crunchy yuba strips in a dijon vinaigrette). YUM! What else did I order? Scroll down to find out:)
