Good morning, Steemians!
My wife and I decided that we want to start eating more raw foods. During hurricane Irma, we ate a lot of rice, cereal, and other very cheap and sometimes more processed foods. Having those types of foods around was vital for survival; foods that would store well for extended periods of time.
Now, we are not faced with such a threat, and we both agree that we feel our best eating raw vegan/whole food/plant- based. I decided that I wanted to try to eat about 90% of my diet from raw food. My digestion, my mood, and overall how I feel are just elevated when I'm eating more raw foods. I just bought a big container of coffee, so I'm still going to be drinking coffee in the morning. Another food that I think is pretty important to my diet are beans. Since I am allergic to all nuts, I still am going to eat cooked beans, but I think this is going to be one of the only cooked foods I allow myself to eat at least for the time being. I'm going to try my hardest to stay away from rice, bread, pasta, etc. and stick to more whole foods.
I know it's going to be more expensive and I know it's going to be harder for me to get the same amount of calories in. Knowing this, I'm still up for the challenge.
This is a picture of what we picked up from Publix this morning totaling $45.
Bananas are probably the cheapest and most calorie dense raw food ever. My diet might consist of upwards of 50% bananas. I'm ok with that. I want this to be nutritional yet economical at the same time.
I remember how much greens cost, so we're going to continue to try to grow as many of our own greens as we can. This one-pound tub of mixed greens cost seven dollars. I'm probably going to have a salad at the end of each day with tomatoes maybe a little bit of onion, cucumbers, cilantro, etc.
I know that the juice that we bought might be cooked, but I'm also OK with that.
Anyway, I thought I would just share the news and change in my diet basically.
Thanks for stopping by, Steemians!
Fruit and veggies seem to be good for the soul, makes me calm and happy!

Hey
Hey why not grow a banana tree? They are not too hard to get started from what I hear and they can produce really well, even indoors I've heard you can do dwarf.
You must be new to my page :) I am a fruit farmer and have many bananas!
holy shit that's a lot of 'nana ! (-:
Haha yeah but if I just eat 5 a day and my wife does too that's only 2 days!
whoa, your post just blew up dude, nice (-:
I saw that! Someone at @blocktrades likes raw vegan :D Thanks @blocktrades!!!
i'm only posting under #rawvegan from now on ! (-:
Haha!
Oh wow 45$ is quite much. I get a box of bananas (18kg) for 36€. Where do you live?
I live in south Florida. There are probably better places for me to buy wholesale fruits and veg, but for us, Publix is literally 3 minutes away so it makes sense. I will have to ask about whole boxes because I used to get a deal at Jewel Osco up in Illinois.
Thanks for this. What do you mean by the juice being cooked?
Many juices are heated for pasteurization. This is what I mean by "cooked."
OK gotcha. Does it then lose its nutritional value?
Somewhat yes!
Which parts of the nutrition mostly?
That I don't know.
Just curious. Thanks for connecting on here. I hope you have a WONDERFUL day!! 😝 😛
Bananas and jackfruit will be the most nutritious food in the world if food disaster occurs. @vegansilverstack
