Last of the raw marinara is gone, time to move on to greener pastures. Today's experiment was the hemp milk, which worked out alright, it certainly looked like strawberry milk, though I didn't have any agave nectar so it wasn't even the slightest bit sweet. Still, I'm declaring the breakfast shake idea to be a good one though in need of further development. Some agave nectar, a little banana, a dash of flax seed to make it even more nutritious. On the upside, the slightly grainy flavour of the hemp was a welcome change from fruits and veggies.

I still miss grains.

Nothing much else to report, feeling pretty tired today, have yet to experience the increased energy people talk about with raw food. I don't feel sluggish in the same way I used to, but I don't feel at all energetic. Now I just feel slightly healthier after sleeping till noon rather than slightly disgusted with myself. I suppose my diet just needs some balancing, more carbohydrates and protein will likely help.

Going to my folks place tomorrow for thanksgiving. In the interests of not turning my nose up at my own mother's cooking I am going to be eating cooked food. However I will remain vegetarian and abstain from alcohol, so don't worry. Though I will be taking a day off from this fast, I won't enjoy it too much.

I haven't said this for a few days, so just to reiterate, I should have done this in September.

Happy Thanksgiving!
