Raw vegan for a day

Right so as promised I'm gonna blog about my experience being a raw vegan for a day yesterday. Well obviously there isn't much of a significant difference that I feel about being a raw vegan for a day. I think I need to be one for a week to feel the difference in my body. Which I am definitely going to try one day but probably when I live by myself so that I don't have to trouble my other family members who are not going raw vegan. Lots of food planning!

So I went to a totally strict raw vegan. Okay not totally strict, like maybe 95% raw or something. Cause I drank soymilk which I bought in the market so it's freshly squeezed. But usually these soymilk are added with syrup and pandan essence so... Not 100% raw right. But anyway if I want it to be a 100% I have to make it myself or something heh. So I leave it some slack.

You need to have a good planning for the meal you're eating. What to have for breakfast etc. So yesterday I only had two raw meals (because my dinner is at 3 AM hahaha). I'm going to list what I have for breakfast and lunch and also how to make them.

Avocado banana soymilk - my ABS smoothie mwahaha

For breakfast I had avocado, banana and soymilk smoothie. Made simply by just blending all these ingredients together into a thick smoothie. I think I added the right amount of ingredients for the first time so it was thick and filling. Tastes really good too! I think it'll go awesome with almond or rice milk. But I can't find it so too bad.

Tomato and shallot salad

For lunch it's a tomato and shallot salad with olive oil and lemon dressing. I just put slices of shallot into a small bowl of lemon juice to infuse the flavour wooooh hahaha. Put the chopped tomatoes inside and drizzle with olive oil, add salt and mix them together. I think shallots and tomatoes are best friends.  They taste really good and refreshing.

For the night before I made guacamole which is made simply by mashing avocadoes with lemon and salt and pepper. Something is missing I don't know what. I used to make guacamole when I was in Singapore and I feel the one I made last time tasted much better hahaha. I think I didn't add onions inside heh. I'll make more in the future for my vegan days.

I couldn't feel a lot of significant difference in my body. But firstly, I think I had a wonderful sleep last night. And also my digestive system is working in its finest. Not diarrhea but it feels good shitting! Hahaha. Well it's a method of detoxification too so I suppose my intestines will thank me. I want to try being a raw vegan for like a week to feel more difference!

Okay so I was really strict about being raw yesterday (except the soymilk part) that I didn't eat rice or any form of cooked carbohydrates. So I was feeling so hungry throughout the day. Not sure if I can be a raw vegan without proper carbo because I'm a sucker for rice haha. So maybe next raw vegan days I'll cut it more slack and eat rice as well. Because I read online you don't need to be 100% to be considered raw. 75-100% is considered raw already.

It's a pretty interesting experience I must say. And I can't wait to try it more often in the future! :)

Oh and...

3/5 done :)
