YU 30, Day 1

Friday, February, 1st

Bay & I went grocery shopping for a variety of vegetables and fruits from the local market the Kruger’s Farm and our favorite store People's Coop in SE Portland, Or. We bought a whole bunch of glass mason jars for easy storage for legumes, nuts, smoothies, and dressings. My favorites jars thus far are my leftover organic peanut butter and almond butter jars. The lid doesn't separate which I LOVE!! These jars make it easy to make a smoothie and take it to go.

We are firm believers in starting your day with a huge glass of water. The body naturally loses two gallons of water when you sleep. Gross! Right? Then we make a delicious smoothie of our choice. SO many bananas!! Ha ha. Right now our favorite sites to check for new smoothie recipes are: Yum Universe, This Raw Some Vegan Life,  Smoothie Alchemy and Young and Raw.

Breakfast: 
Interesting texture and scrumptious, Peanut Butter Hempster Smoothie

Lunch: 
Salad: spinach, tomatoes, pumpkin seeds for protein, red onion soaked in red wine vinegar for an hour, carrots with a Garlic Lime Sauce


Dinner: 
This soup was delicious!!! Bay- bay is such a good cook,
Autumn Parsnip & Apple Soup. She showed me how to cook the parsnip. I never knew what a parsnip was until today. It tastes exactly like a carrot. We researched it and the parsnip comes from the carrot family.

Local Farm Produce Bin.

I love going to the local farmers market, Krugers Farm, with my twine produce bag and picking up some fresh produce. I want cheap, local, organic produce brought to me. I'm know Bay & I will still pick up a few items from the market, but I want to majority of my food brought to me.

I remember a few years back picking up a produce bin from a local farm every Wednesday. I really liked the connivence of getting produce every week from one place. However, shelling out $300 up front for three months worth of produce was a lot of money.

I found an awesome organization called Organics to You in Portland, Oregon. You can pick out what ever you want in a bin as well as size. Give them your address and they send organic produce to your house! Their is no contract for it either. You can set up if you want it every week, month, year, etc. For two people it only costs $33 for a week of produce. That's way cheaper than going to different stores.

I can't wait until Bay and I live together to get the bins!! xo.
