Day 15 - Am I crazy (for going RAW vegan)?

My best friend thinks so. Her actual response when I told her my 30 day Raw food plan was 'Why the f&*k would you do that? But - you can still drink booze right?' I laughed so hard as I knew this is exactly what she would say & love her so much for speaking her mind.   She's Dutch - so for her giving up cheese even is just out of the question.  She really can't understand why I would give up - EVERYTHING - except raw vegan (delicious) food.
To this I say '"Nothing tastes as good as healthy feels"
Rather than let her awesome response deter me it makes me smile at myself & realize I am doing this for me. Just me - no one else & it really doesn't bother me that other people might find it a bit crazy to want to eat only Raw food, but really, I am totally enjoying it & continue to be amazed at what Rayna at www.healthyfunkyfoods.com keeps creating.

Who would think raw bagels would taste good? Warmed up in the dehydrator - these are a pretty good substitute when craving that dense, chewy bread. They come with a cream cheese spread - sometimes savoury, sometimes more plain & a fruit puree.  These are a great filling way to start your day & definitely don't leave a heavy lump in your tummy afterwards.  With some fresh raw orange juice & some fruit. Awesome - or should I say Rawsome :)
