Thirsty Thursday takes on a whole new meaning!

Hi everyone,
I'm sure the title of this blog took you back to your college days. You probably remembered that as Thursday night rolled around, your college campus would come alive with drinking parties, late night pizza slices, and embarrassing morning after pictures and ill feelings. This is known as a SAD diet by Raw foodists. This both because you feel sad and emotion eating this way and because it stands for Standard American Diet. I was reminded of these things when reminiscing with an old friend who remembered nicknames we would give cheap disgusting beer brands and people we would text or call at 3 in the morning to tell about our adventures. This made me think about something crazy! College kids are living toxic-super unhealthy lives despite being at the prime time of their lives. College students are ages 17-23 years old and most are drinking several nights a week, eating junk food, getting no sleep, getting very little exercise, and having stressful sleepless nights! They are setting the stage for habits and behaviors that they will carry with them for the rest of their adult lives. What is happening here!? We should be climbing mountains, running marathons, protecting the planet, volunteering and loving life not ignoring it with toxic drugs and alcohol.

Thirsty Thursday for me was a hot sweaty yoga class followed by drinking ice cold water and having cold freshly squeezed orange juice. mmmm yummy.
This bog is dedicated to my college friends who want a couple recipes for healthy, delicious raw foods that will fill them up with nutrients and energy instead of toxins and regret.

Salsa:
1 large tomato, diced
1 green pepper, diced
1 red pepper, diced
1/2 jalapeno pepper, finely diced
1/2 yellow onion, diced
juice of 1/2 a lemon
pinch of salt and ground black pepper
Mix in bowl and enjoy!

Guacamole:
1 avocado, mashed
1/2 tomato, diced
1/2 green pepper
1/2 jalapeno, finely diced (don't touch your eyes)
1/2 lemon, juiced
pinch of salt and ground black pepper
Mix and serve!

Enjoy these two delicious simple recipes with a green salad...I love mixed greens, spinach or boston lettuce!

If you come over I'll whip this up for you! Hey I might already have it made-it is my staple food!

Eat well and Be well!
