Overall we felt great! We had plenty of energy! Our stomachs are getting stronger everyday. :) We have had less and less gas, bloating, etc. We are finally seeing the other side. We know we will still experience some bad days but overall we are so HAPPY with where we are in our raw foods journey of good health. It always amazes us how each day we learn something new and how we can relate to something we have experienced before. Life truly is a journey!

As of now we are in the car driving down to Orlando,FL to hang out with the older sis and get ready for the marathon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Till next time,

The Twins

I love the look of all those chocolaty snacks!!! I was wondering though what is the benefit of putting the sunflower lecthin in your smoothie? Is it a nutritional benefit or a texture/flavor thing?

Thanks Kelly! The sunflower lecthin has many health benefits (helps digest fat and full of choline) and helps make the smoothie creamy and thick! We have done a post on it http://www.pure2raw.com/2009/11/2-cranberry-recipes-plus-new-ingredient/

Good luck with your marathon!

I made your gluten-free mac ‘n’ cheese recipe over the weekend (from your guest post on Love Veggies & Yoga) and just loved it! I had leftovers for lunch just now so that made me think of you. Of course, when I went to make it, I forgot I was out of quinoa so I subbed in some brown rice, but it came out great nonetheless!

Happy New Year, ladies :)

Diana, I am so happy to hear our gluten free mac-n-cheese worked out for you! We just love it too : )

Good luck on the marathon, I ran a disney half once about 6 yrs ago w/ hubs. It was our fave race, ever. We’ve ran about 200 races together and that was our fave.

The hot chocolate and some chocolate fudge coconut bites both look amazing. Cant wait to hear some recipe action on the bites if/when you ever plan to divulge it :)
