Vegetarian Health Institute - Discover How to Thrive on a Plant Based Diet and Stop Being Vulnerable to Deficiencies

What Do Healthy Raw Fooders Eat In A Typical Day?

By Trevor Justice, Owner/Director

To show our students what real health experts eat, I asked eight chefs and authors to log what they ate during a typical day. I did the same. Then I published all eight food journals in Lesson 25 of The Vegan Mastery Program. I’m reprinting three of them here.

Dina Knight's 1-Day Food Journal

Breakfast
: Big 24-32 ounce Green Smoothie or Green juice, sometimes both, with chia seeds and spirulina.

Lunch: Sprout salad with mixed veggies and spicy spirulina dressing and sauerkraut. OR: Mixed marinated veggie taco and/or portabella fajita taco on romaine lettuce.

Snacks

Dinner
: Sea Vegetables with marinated kale and steamed quinoa with cashew, tamari, sesame, coconut sauce. OR: sprouts, red bell pepper, tomatoes, cashew cheese, cilantro, spinach, avocado and dulse on raw onion bread.

Dina says "Some days I'm hungrier than others, so it just depends on what I'm doing… Some days I do more blended foods if I'm really busy and just need functional food. I always recommend lots of greens and sea veggies for high mineral/vitamin content."

Breakfast
: Green smoothie (1 banana, 3 rehydrated apricots, several leaves of kale, 1 cup of water).

Mid-morning meal: Chopped up acid fruit (such as strawberries, kiwis, or oranges) or subacid fruit (such as peaches or pears) with raw almond butter.

Lunch
: Big salad with spinach, romaine lettuce, or red leaf lettuce, topped with sprouts, olives, and other veggies and guacamole (instead of regular dressing).

Snack: cacao shake. (1.5 cups almond milk, 2 Tbsp Xylitol, 1 Tbsp cacao, 2 tsp sunflower seeds, 1 Brazil nut)

Dinner
: Raw corn chowder (from "The Raw Gourmet") with a side salad.

Night time snack
: chopped up acid fruit topped with tahini and coconut nectar. When I eat this, I eat it several hours after dinner.

Throughout the day, I drink green tea, herbal Chai, or lemonade sweetened with Xylitol or coconut nectar. Several times a week, I get a 16 ounce green juice from the local juice bar. It is primarily cucumber, celery, chard, and kale. But I ask for 1-2 carrots to help offset the bitterness of the kale.

As a Mastery Program student, you’ll get access to the rest of our Sample Daily Menus lesson, plus a 1-hour Q&A call on the topic. And this is just one of the 50 weekly lessons you’ll receive!

“As a recipe book author and 30-year teacher of macrobiotics, vegan and live foods preparation classes, I found the Vegan Mastery Program to be very comprehensive. The expert Q&A calls were particularly useful. And Dr. Klaper is exceptionally knowledgeable and easy to listen to. Considering how much I've gotten, you definitely undercharge.”

Why remain vulnerable to vitamin or mineral deficiencies when you can find out exactly how to eat and absorb enough calcium, iron, Omega 3s, and Vitamins A, B12, and D?

Just one oversight or deficiency -- if ignored for too long -- can leave you vulnerable to disease, and potentially thousands in doctor or dental bills. Why take that gamble when you can thrive on a high raw vegan diet now and for the rest of your life?
