This is a reminder not to combine fruit with fats or any other foods. Fruits should always be eaten alone as they digest super fast. When you combine fruit with other food (especially fats), it will drastically slow down their transit time, leading to gas, bloating, digestive upset and fermentation. The easiest way to avoid this, is to make sure you have fruit before anything else and leave a gap of 30 minutes before eating your next meal. It's okay to still have fruit salads and mix fruits together, but if you want the smoothest digestion possible, eat your fruit as a mono meal (1 fruit at a time like a big bowl of watermelon, a whole pineapple, a plate of mangos etc). If you're eating melons of any kind, always eat them as a mono meal as melon already comes pre-digested! Definitely DO NOT eat melon after a big meal. You will end up with a stomach ache and feel sick.

For those of you that are transitioning to an all raw way of eating, can you share what a day of eating looks like for you? Thanks!

Yesterday I spent the day hanging out with a friend, so I made a bunch of food to bring along for our hike and picnic. I brought coconut water, chopped watermelon, cucumber and bell pepper veggie sticks, a spicy homemade dip, and a tomato zoodle dish. My friend isn’t raw or even vegan, but he loved everything I made! 😋 I did use plastic containers, which obviously aren’t ideal, but they’re much lighter and easier to carry than glass! I spiralised the noodles beforehand and kept them separate from the tomato sauce. Once you mix the sauce with the noodles, they release a lot of water and can get soggy, so I just combined them when I was ready to eat. It’s actually so easy to eat raw when you’re out and about or adventuring. You don’t need to worry about ice packs or food spoiling as there's nothing to go bad! Some of my other favourite foods to bring on hikes are dried fruit, bananas and dates. They’re lightweight, easy to carry, and will give you plenty of calories and energy to keep going. What’s your favourite food to take hiking or camping? 👇

Feeling good, a few signs of detox already like fatigue and emotions coming up… but gonna keep going because I want to detox and heal 🙏🏻

Starting my day with the intention to nourish myself with a frozen fruit smoothie. Be well. Blessings 💚
