Hey!
Okay, so here's what I had over the WHOLE day (without breakfast):

- At least 600ml coconut water, with a few drops lemon juice in each glass.. mmmmmm

-3 BIG glasses juice made with beetroot/spinach/red pepper... diluted with coconut water (;



- 4 BIG glasses juice made with celery/red pepper/cucumber/apple/spinach ... YUM!

-Oh, and - naughty me...- a spoonful of raw honey... :o

-and, of course, water.. around a litre

I think this totals to around 3 litres of juice and coconut water (not counting water)...
I felt SO good today!!!!
Even though I didn't drink much... this was only for the first day...
I plan to juice more and drink up! (;

My parents were totally open... I was so surprised!!
Mum was a bit concerned at first, but I explained all about it etc...
I even invited them to join me!! -
They said they would on the Christmas holidays, when they'll be carrying (more ;) 'excess baggage'! (;

Awesome, Dad was listening to Radio 4, when they announced 'The person with the smallest Carbon footprint in the UK'. Guess what???... She's a RAW VEGAN!!!!!!! woo! (Well, it's logical really ;)
The interviewer was like "So if you don't cook your food.. what do you eat?"
hahaha!....

Woooooo!


Cakeeeeeeeee!

I think I might start typing up what I eat. I would have already done this, but I'm just too lazy to think back :)

Sooo, let's see... For breakfast I just had 2 glasses of Green Smoothie consisting of a gigantic mango (like really, one of the biggest I've seen!!), a whole head of lettuce, some extra spinach, and a few frozen raspberries. (All ingredients are organic). Ah, yes. I also sprinkled on fresh, local bee pollen.
This made a looooooot of smoothie. I gave a glass each to mum and dad. They LOVE Green Smoothies! (;

On the political side of things, I'm glad Obama won!! (ahh, I can't stand Palin...)
Hmm, although I did fall for his joke on April Fools when he said he was vegan.... What a shame he's not! We need someone like that in 'power'!
I was thinking actually, that if even just a group of raw foodists got a chance to be in 'charge', that they would and could end most of the global problems (:
Haha, does that even make sense, what I said?
Sorry, I'm just rambling ;)

Ohh nooo, none of my own photo's today....
So I'll leave you one i pinched off the internet, only because it looks so delicious. (:
YUM! This is a good.looking Raw cake! Who said raw is boring, eh?!

Hello!

Hi there!
I'm Aj (short for Alma-Jade), a 15-year old raw vegan teenager. In short, this blog (my first blog ever) will hopefully serve as much as an eye opener for a wide range of people as it will for myself! as it is a way to release a lot of held-back emotions clogging me up, plus telling my story along the way! :)

So, a quick résumé about me! :

During my journey of where I am now, i have been through very dark moments of self-hatred, self.abuse (some physical but mostly metal), and times when I felt so alone and isolated that i could have been the last person on earth and it wouldn't have make a difference. I went from being a very active social being, to one that shunned myself away, in fear of being ridiculed.

But, i find that the longer i am raw, the more confident I get, and i now really enjoy sharing and giving advice about the raw vegan lifestyle, and also I am not shy to talk to anyone, and now thoroughly enjoy expressing myself and spreading positive vibes to everyone I meet, even strangers on the bus :)

I am also truly blessed to have parents like mine, how have come to accept and embrace my way of life.

Another great gift in my life is my brother, Liam. He is truly the best brother in the world. I am sincerely grateful to him always.

And to my grandparents, especially Baka (meaning grandma in Croatian) who started this, and put me on the right track towards where I am now.

If you would like to, or are interested about finding out more about my journey, then i am currently in the middle of writing a book, so watch this space! :)

Hope you enjoy reading my blog! :)
Have an awesome day!
