The smoothie had home made almond milk, banana and kale. I am pretty sure it is going to be my breakfast for the foreseeable future. Today I also made myself a beet juice. And for dinner raw soup with tomatoes, garlic, cilantro, salt, pepper and avocado.</p> <p>Yesterday I made double mean green to drink during the day and at night I made some yummy almond milk and chocolate pudding with avocado. (I have a picture of it posted for day 4)</p> <p>So the fast is slowly morphing into raw foods, It feels very natural and intuitive. I am so excited to share some pictures of my raw pasta soon!  I have been making food plans and searching yummy recipes. (thanks for all the help!)</p> <p>My next goal is to get my Ashtanga practice back.  I was a hardcore Ashtangi until I injured myself, and I haven’t really gotten my practice back fully.  But I feel ready, my body is slowly losing the excess weight and I don’t feel sluggish or heavy anymore. Raw foods goes perfect with a daily yoga practice. (something I also need as a yoga teacher).</p>http://spicykale.tumblr.com/post/18537639443http://spicykale.tumblr.com/post/18537639443Wed, 29 Feb 2012 23:36:00 -0500juice fastraw veganraw foodshealthyashtangayoga<p>I ordered a spiralizer, to help me transition to raw, I love pasta and I think this one gadget will be my lifeline.  I am looking forward to making things like RAW; spaghetti, Pad Thai, Pesto, etc&#8230; Does anyone have unique recipes for me?</p>http://spicykale.tumblr.com/post/18438761275http://spicykale.tumblr.com/post/18438761275Tue, 28 Feb 2012 10:34:00 -0500healthyraw foodsraw vegan<p>Thank you! <3</p>http://spicykale.tumblr.com/post/18435669605http://spicykale.tumblr.com/post/18435669605Tue, 28 Feb 2012 08:22:17 -0500
