One Hundred Day Raw Challenge

Yesterday I began my 100 day raw foods challenge.  I've been raw off and on for about two years .  Nothing makes me feel better than when I'm giving my body live foods.  I feel lighter, have more energy  and have  a clearer head.  I have experienced healing benefits throughout the few years I've been on raw.  Having  multiple food allergies, I find it so easy to avoid all of the no no's eating real live foods, because there's nothing in them but nutrient dense goodness.  Also as I've stated before, I include natural cooked foods like grains and cooked veggies and some fish/chicken as well.  However, right now I really feel like I need the incredible healing abilities of what raw foods does for the body.  I will always be at least 80-90% raw,  but I don't want to exclude delicious cooked dishes throughout my life.
Here I'm showing just a few raw goodies that I've made.  Up top is a raw brownie/cookie before and after.  I also made some cheeze flax crackers using Nutritional Yeast (not a raw product) for the 'cheese'. Last I have a Hemp protein shake using Hemp powder, spinach, almond milk, and a banana.
I realize that I'm beginning this journey close to the holidays, but I'm doing this purposefully.  I will be able to keep control of what I eat and not delve into things that cause me problems.  Not having that post holiday oh-no-look-at-all-I-ate syndrome makes this all the more rewarding!
