Day 2

Sorry guys it's gonna be a bit of a short entry this time. I've been working 8 am till 8 pm every day and I had a few errands to run today. To sum things up I'm beat! But I'm still kicken and that's a good thing I suppose. Despite my lack of time I managed to scarf back a mango raspberry smoothie with a tea spoon of Spirulina. I've gotta say it's got an odd taste to it but, it turns me into the energizer bunny when I need it. Mostly a fruit day being as I haven't managed to get home till late.

One major thing I would like to share with anyone reading is this FABULOUS raw brownie recipe! A friend made it for me once and they have got to be the best brownies I have ever eaten. I'm hard pressed not to eat the whole batch when she brings them by!

Raw Vegan Dessert – Brownie – Recipe:
Get Your Ingredients:
1.5 cups raw almonds
~15 dried figs
1/2 cup raw cacao powder
1/3 cup shredded coconut
1/8 cup water
Hurry and Make It Already:
1. Blend the almonds in a food processor for about 30 seconds until you have a fine consistency.
2. Add the figs and cacao powder to the food processor; blend for another 30 seconds.
3. Add the coconut powder and pulse 5 times.
4. Add the water and pulse 5 times or until the mixture begins to solidify.
5. Spread the mixture onto one half of a small baking tray lined with parchment paper; fold the parchment paper over the mixture and mold the mixture into a block approximately 1″ thick.
6. Place the baking tray into the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
7. Remove the tray from the refrigerator and cut the block into bite-sized pieces.

Easy right? I'll be making some tomorrow after I get home from work and I'll post a picture of the final results then. I'm also going to try my hand at making my own Oat Milk. I'll post the recipe for that too.

Otherwise I still don't feel too different. If anything I had a little more energy to spare at the end of the day. Biking to and from work can really burn me out sometimes. Especially on really hot and sunny days like it was today. Anywho I'll try and make a 2.5 entry tomorrow sometime with some interesting information for you guys to gnaw on. For now though I'm going to go to bed and dream all my crazy dreams. Until next time!
