I picked up my food for the next two days yesterday at Orb Cafe from Claire (Orb stands for Organic Raw Bountiful). See my challenge post here. It all looks delicious! I love that snacks are also included and cake! I can also add in some fruit too.
Here's what I ate today:
For breakfast - raw sprouted buckwheat fruit bread made with apples, pecans, raisins and cinnamon served with almond nut butter and raw jam with banana and a mug of Bellevue Sencha Green Tea.
It was really delicious, the almond butter and raw jam tasted divine and I was full until lunchtime. Although I did sneak in a snack of parsnip crisps which were peppery, salty and delicious.
For lunch - Avocado sandwich with pine nuts and spicy peppers with a side salad. This tasted really fresh and all the flavours went well together. The "bread" is Mediterranean sprouted buckwheat and is made in the dehydrator (like the fruit bread). The side salad came with a really tasty dressing.
I snacked on some grapes and some raw chocolate in the afternoon. The chocolate was really quite nice (not like Mr Popple's chocolate!). It contains fruit and is slightly sweet.
For dinner - Veggie Lasagne - courgette lasagne sheets layered with spinach, mushrooms, sweet tomato sauce and "cheese" sauce. This was simply delicious! All the flavours worked well together and I'd love to eat it again. I served it with some raw spinach.
Pudding too! - Pumpkin pie with cashew cream. This has a nut crust and the filling of pumpkin has a touch of cinnamon. This was really tasty. I served it with some blueberries and strawberries.
I also drank water and herbal teas throughout the day.
Thanks to Hannah who made up all my food to take away. I'm going in for lunch on Friday so I'll make sure and take some photos to show you how the food is presented in the cafe.

ReplyDeleteYou'd simply love it! Great flavours! I've been checking out the raw food cook books on Amazon x
DeleteWell done and what an amazing concept too, bet the cafe is buzzing all the time would love to try and do this, think it would do wonders for my health but it would have to be pre prepared meals like yours i think. x
ReplyDeleteFantastic I agree! I'm now trying to add more raw elements to my diet and hope to pick up a "cook" book or two. I've come across a lot of recipes browsing the blog too x
