A "mono meal" - one item. Rather monotonous? Not at all. Especially if the bowl is full of fruit. It could be just ONE type of fruit. Today I felt a craving for a mixed bowl of sweet and tart, juicy and crisp - but first I went blackberry picking!
After loading a bowl with jewels, I slipped a banana from it's skin and into the Vita-mix, added a heaping spoon of sin (that's raw cashew butter), a good dash of cinnamon, and blitzed it into a creamy topping. A nudge from somewhere in my head made me reach for the sesame seeds, and in they went. Next time I might grind them first, the creamy was a bit "seedy". But the extra helping of calcium seemed to be what I was needing. I "listen" to my body a lot when deciding what to eat...
After the picture was taken, I poured on about another 1/2 cup of that luscious cream!
I've had mono meals of just a couple of bananas for lunch. Or several cucumbers. A apple is usually in one of my bags, snack on the run.Raw life doesn't get much easier - or tastier.
Hi ,my name is Carly and I am a new follower.I enjoyed this post.Sometimes we tend to make things so complicated when it comes to raw foods.I get discouraged at times with all the very involved gourmet raw recipes...when something like a mono meal is so simple and satisfying!Thanks for the post.Visit my blog someday if you have a minute!=)
