Day 30 of the 30 day raw vegan challenge

Wow - I can't believe how quickly 30 day has gone by. Honestly, I could easily continue with eating raw vegan - I enjoy the food & how I feel immensely.  My clothes are looser (I lost 5.5 lbs. in the last 30 days), my energy, skin & digestion are great, I am sleeping more solidly than I have in years.  My taste in food has changed as well (I guess that 21 days to break a habit is true) - when I feel snacky now I crave a banana or an apple or some Goji cocao clusters - rather than a cookie or a cheese bun.  The fresh, delicious raw vegan meals I've been having from www.healthyfunkyfoods.com are amazing - I'd happily continue on eating like this - if I could afford to have someone continue to make meals for me everyday.
The thing I haven't done in this 30 days is learn how to make raw vegan meals - so today I want to go out & buy recipe book - for beginners that looks fairly easy & start out slow.  I do have a dehydrator & a blender (but not a good one - which is important) & I think there will be a lot of salads as I transition & learn how to tackle creating my own food.  Healthy funky foods at The Crossroads Market is open Fri., Sat & Sunday so I'll continue to pick up fresh pre-made meals from there to supplement what I make - Rayna just does it so much better!  She also is at a Farmer's Market on Tuesday so I will probably be tracking her down there as well.
So - the journey continues. But I leave you with the raw vegan raspberry cheez cake. I am actually not a huge fan of cheesecake I find it too creamy & sweet & it kind makes me phlegmy & feels heavy in my stomach - so I've always avoided it.  This raw vegan chez cake from www.healthyfunkyfoods.com is the opposite of what I've had for cheesecake ever before.  It's light & smooth & not too sweet & with tart raspberries blended on top - super, super good. One of my favourite desserts I've eaten - ever. I don't see it often over at Healthy Funky Foods - but if you do - try it - you won't be sorry.
