At lunch today, I decided to stop by my salon, Bella, for some TLC. When I was there, I saw that they were opening up a cafe on the side. It officially doesn't open until Tuesday but they were serving a couple of items to passersby. It turns out that they only serve raw, vegan, gluten free food and they were serving pizza today. I have been gluten free for several months now but have never tried "raw" foods aside from the obvious. To make a food "raw" it can't be heated above 118 degrees, has to be unprocessed and organic. I had never heard of raw pizza, so I thought I would give it a try. While they were making my pizza, the owner started showing me before & after pictures off of some website of people that switched to a raw food diet of at least 75% or more. Not only was there weightloss but what caught my eye was the fact that these people looked remarkably younger than they did when they were eating cooked, processed foods. I decided that this was something I needed to research more. I know myself and there is no way that I could stick to a 100% raw diet but I believe 75% is doable. I am really interested to learn more about this way of eating. Especially if I can learn how to make the food like I had at lunch. The pizza was really amazing. The first bite was a little offputting because the crust was a foreign taste to me but everything tasted so fresh that I wanted another slice by the time I was done with it. I also purchased an avocado key lime pie that I
WILL learn how to make. The crust was made up of macadamia nuts and coconut. I need to find out how they fuse it all together. Project!!!!!!!!!!
