Carrots of many colors. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Minimal preparation is my challenge for the week. Monday through Friday I will be eating as vegan and healthy as possible. Just for fun I want to see if I can go a whole week with the least amount of preparation needed using whole foods. My criteria is simple:
* Eat whole fruits without cutting or cooking. Apples, oranges, bananas, tangerines, grapes, pears, and berries.
* Eat whole raw vegetables without cutting or cooking. Green beans, grape tomatoes, baby cucumbers, baby peppers, carrots, and celery.
* Eat Almonds and Walnuts for easy and healthy fats and protein.
* Drink Water
A sample menu:
Breakfast: Two fruits eaten by hand with a handful of nuts. No dish or cleanup necessary.
Lunch: Baby cucumbers, carrots, fresh green beans, and a piece of fruit.
Snack: Handful of nuts and some grapes
Suggestions for dinner?

I like this idea
Unfortunately, here at the cottage, fire is much needed for the foods that the rest of the family likes – but I do tend to introduce as much non-cooking as possible.

By the end of the week you may find you are feeling better than ever before. I have done a similar thing for extended periods of time, especially in the summer months when I am not craving warmth and feel wonderful, even sleep better.
I love the idea so much. But I dislike most fruits. Can’t do it. Don’t get much “raw” in the diet, unfortunately. Been doing more carrots lately. So that’s something, right?
