My menu is very straightforward.

I eat about 75-80% raw now. Most of my meals are smoothies that I make in the blender. I eat 3-4 of these per day. I put them in 1 liter bottles and bring to the office with me. This is the general recipe that I use for my smoothies:

½ cup of water
¼ cup of almond, hazel nut, soy, or rice milk (protein, unsaturated fats, and flavonoids in the soy). I actually haven't been using any of these milks lately. I just use water now, but it doesn't hurt to use one of the nut milks.

1 bunch or large leaf of kale, red kale, chard, bok choi, collard green, mustard green, dandelion, or any other green of your choosing (You need the greens for the calcium, magnesium, iron, protein, chlorophyll, and other good things they provide.) I don’t recommend spinach because of the taste.

1 apple, pear, banana, or peach (a little bulk, fiber, and other nutrients)
1 cup of a combination or mix of blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, raspberries, pineapple, mango, or cherries (the majority of your antioxidants, phytonutrients, carotenoids, glyconutrients, and vitamins and minerals)

I also add a ¼ cup of either pumpkin seeds, walnuts, chia seeds, Brazil nuts, and/or flax seed for omega III FAs.
I also sometimes add something else like goji berries or mulberries as a change in taste.

The key for me is to mix fruit with something green and walnuts, chia seeds, or flax seed to get the omega IIIs. This really is nature’s perfect meal for humans. It’s high in nutrition, low to moderate in calories, and tastes great. If you buy some of the fruit frozen, then you’ll have an even more “smoothie” feel to it. Anything green will also be our best source of protein as well.

Other things that I eat are brown rice, sweet potatoes, spinach, occasionally some white beans, and salads of romaine lettuce, tomatoes, onions, peppers, carrots, shallots, garlic, and celery. I try to eat as simply as possible, as nature intended for us to eat. If it looks like it came out of the ground or off the tree, then that’s how we’ll best metabolize it. If it looks like something else, then it’s not food that we’ll process very well.

Will that work for you?
