Why

I've started a new lifestyle for my family and wanted to share it with everyone. We quit eating sugar and processed food. We only eat whole wheat, raw foods and drink green smoothies. I will be collaborating my recipes for breakfast, snacks, lunches and dinners. I encourage everyone to try this!!
I've found ways to make this transition much easier for everyone. The first week was really rough. On the first day my 3 year old daughter was climbing the pantry saying 'I need candy!'. After that, I knew this was the right path we've chosen.

Step 1 - Empty your pantry, refrigerator & freezer
Get rid of any boxed food (other than whole wheat pasta), flour, sugar, cake mixes ... you name it! We are starting fresh. You do NOT want any kind of temptation. Take it to your local food bank. They will welcome it! Plus you will feel better about.
Step 2 - Replace your cooking staples with whole wheat flour, organic rolled oats, raw almond butter, almond milk, raw organic agave (costco), raw organic honey (costco) and grade B pure maple syrup. I get mine off of amazon. I will post a picture of it. Whole wheat bread (make sure there is no sugar in it), whole wheat bagels. NO more pop, crystal light or any other flavorings. You will only drink water, almond milk & green smoothies.
Step 3 - Get a Blentec or Vitamix. These are a must have for green smoothies. I got mine off of amazon. They cost about $420. OR, you can buy a refurbished one for half the price.

Typical Day

So a typical day of eating at our house would be:

Make green smoothie

Breakfast - Whole wheat pancakes or Oatmeal with Green Smoothie

Snack - Fruit & veggies

Lunch - Whole wheat bread or bagels with Almond Butter & Raw Honey with Green Smoothie (I try to have my kids finish off their smoothies by this point)
you could also go Tuna or Egg salad using very little mayo

Snack - Granola bar

Dinner - Large salad (try not to use store bought dressings. If you do, find one with the least amount of sugar)
I usually make either whole wheat pasta or a quinoa salad.
