but a coworker made me a smoothie that is known as a Grasshopper on our menu.
one ounce each of apple, grape, pineapple, and orange. plus ice and apple juice. and to add a green hue and fresh taste, a little spinach and cilantro. it sounds odd, but you don't even taste the leaves, it mostly tastes like apples and oranges.
after work i stop by my other job to spend my tips on a raw food bar. it's raw revolution and i got the coconut chocolate flavor. it's a lot like a dense clif bar, but without the soy bean pieces. it's not a 100% raw, which is fine. this one says 84% raw, there were others at 55% and 70% or something. the packages feel they must justify this and explain that the nuts and seeds must be cooked to kill the enzyme inhibitors that mess with the digest of the nuts.
that may be what they have to do in order to make a ton of these bars. but it is also possible to soak nuts and seeds to get rid of the icky stuff. which i do, and will explain later, along with the step beyond that, sprouting.
i'll be having little bites of this yummy bar to satisfy my chocolate desires. i also got some sesame seeds to use in something later.

and dinner starred some raw salsa!
hierloom tomatoes, limejuice, spring shallots (just like green onions), salt, soysauce, ,fishsauce, chili oil, cumin... i think that was all. it's watery but has a great flavor. as good or better than normal salsa. plus it has no bell peppers (which make me go "bleck")
