Hi everyone, hope you are well! Today is day 10 being fully raw *woop*! This morning I made this absolutely delicious coconut banana smoothie which tasted like heaven! Something I love about Dubai are the wide variety of fruits and vegetables available (especially at the farmer’s markets).
I picked up some young coconuts the other day (costs equivalent to $2.50) and decided to use both the water and flesh in a smoothie. I had placed some bananas in the freezer last night so decided to use those too. And then I added some cinnamon and dates to give a really nice flavor! It turned out delicious ♥ You can also use coconut meat to make raw yoghurts and puddings – yum!
Place all ingredients into a high-speed blender, and voila!
(You can also put this back into the fridge / freezer to make it even cooler)
As mentioned in the video, eating fully raw was always something I wanted to do – but honestly, the thought of it scared me a little. I’d think things like “will I get enough variety?” / “will I get bored of eating the same food?” “will I be hungry?” but in reality, it’s SO much easier than I expected and I haven’t had any trouble getting varieties of foods into my diet, and I definitely haven’t gotten “bored” of the food. In fact, I’ve found a whole new excitement and love for fruits & veg – as crazy as that may sound 🙂 Anyway my point is, there are just so many varieties on a raw food diet! And to anyone who is thinking about starting this lifestyle, and may have doubts, just TRY it! Go for maybe 3 days eating raw and do research, find recipes and I’m sure you will love it too! ♥
That look and sound so delicious that I have to try it. On my next visit to the grocery store I will definitely be buying the ingredients.
Hi Annie! I am fifteen, from the Netherlands, and I'm considering going fully raw when I move out of my parent's house (then I'll be about 17/18, it's still far way, yes. We just can't afford eating vegan or anything and my family members think it's 'bullshit'). You mentioned a few people (fullyrawkristina, freelee the banana girl) below your last video that also really inspired me to go eating raw. Unfortunately they only speak of the good aspects of being raw, not of any down sides there could possibly be. You said you've looked into it before you started this change in your diet. Could you please make a video about eating raw and the changes you felt after eating raw for a month? Also, what would happen if you stop eating raw after a year and start to eat meat again? Lastly, this video made me change my beliefs completely. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KE-Yb6MVl8c

Thanks Annie for this amazing recipe! It looks delicious and super healthy! I was looking into making dome dragon fruit smoothies with coconut water and cranberries. You are an inspiration and I hope raw die will be suitable for you.
Annie, how much of the coconut meat do you use? I'm afraid of the amount of saturated fat it contains
Sounds so delicious! I love coconut! I always thought you'd go fully raw & now you're doing it! It sounds very exciting 🙂

omigosh that sounds so good! check out this chia seed pudding recipe I am sure you'll love! http://katysshadeofblue.blogspot.com/2014/03/chia-seed-pudding.html
Hy beautiful,
I watched your video where you talked about how this lifestyle cleaned out your skin.I have found out about this a year ago and ever since then planing to do it for a few days and see how it goes but I'm scared of losing my muscles. I know raw food belivers say you get enough protein trough fruits, vegetables and nuts (and also enzimes) but i would like to hear how did it effect on your body, did you see any gain/lost of muscles and general weight? One more thing, are you afraid thet you will get just to eating a lot of food and then gain weight once you stop doing it (if you are planing to stop offcourse)?
Hope you have a lovely day 🙂
Hey Annie, I think you will like this other raw pasta sauce. I just made it for myself and it tasted so fresh and good! You can put it on your salat or use it as a dip.
sweet tomatoes (2 cups)
fresh Basil (1 Handful)
fresh Crushed Garlic (2-3 cloves)
Olive Oil (1 cup)
Salt and Pepper
you can let it sit for 2-8hours after mixing it all together in a bowl or blend it lightly in a mixer. I choosed to blend it and have it right away and it already was so good!
Much love and best wishes for your health sweety.
XOXO <3
