Guest guest Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Hi everyone,Some miscellaneous tidbits to share.Just found a small company that sells non-sulfured, dried fruit: http://www.funkymonkeysnacks.com They say that they are in most Whole Foods and also Kroger, Winn Dixie, even some Target! Just goes to show that you CAN find healthy snacks in many places. I'm just back from a Caribbean cruise - was on a major cruise line AND STAYED RAW. It just took a little preparation. We brought a bunch of fruit and veggies with us as well as a Tribest mini-blender, sharp knife and soft cutting board. We ate some of our fruit and some of the ship fruit (bananas, oranges, pineapple) for breakfast; made green smoothies to take on-shore with us along with more fruit for the day. For dinner we generally made our own dressing: zucchini, tomatoes/dried tomatoes, spices and then used their salad greens and cucumber. It was a blast! We'd done our research beforehand and bought our initial " haul " of fruit from a stand that specializes in tropical fruits. I tried several new fruits: sapote, sapodilla, guava and also had some slightly unusual favorites: passionfruit, starfruit and mangoes, mangoes, mangoes! What most of us don't know about mangoes, though is that they are not really raw. Huh?? Yeah, all mangoes imported into this country are dipped in very hot water and change the nature of the fruit. If you buy your fruit in a store where it's stored in the shipping box, take a look. It will say hot water treated. Should you still eat it? That's your call. I just like people to know what they're getting. Back to the cruise....we also had some spirulina and VitaMineralGreen with us. I like chlorella and popped a few tabs most days to ensure that I was getting a variety of quality greens in my diet. Had plenty of energy and a wonderful time. If you see me in the next week or so, you'll see my tan along with the raw glow ;-) LOL hugs and greens,SharonPS I've got a bunch of classes coming up: http://www.wildsuccess.us/products_and_workshops/workshops.html ~~Sharon Greenspan~~ Dissolve Your Sugar Habit ~~ Boost Your Immunity ~~ Have More EnergyBoard Certified Holistic Health Practitioner301-816-0752www.wildsuccess.us --for a healthy lifestyle www.wildsuccess.us/naturalzing --for healthy snacks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
