5 Day No Processed Food Challenge!

 
Yep.. you read it right  I am continuing on a healthy advantage challenge, from No Flour to Nothing Processed 

This clearly present many challenges

So.. milk is not processed yet it comes in a container.. so in some way it is processed.
  Eggs come in a carton, yet they clearly have gone through no processing.
Cheeses are tricky, I bought one that was made by the woman I bought it from, a goats milk.
Found that at the farmer's market a good place to make good choices.


I will consider things of that nature to be Not Processed.. although clearly I would consider Velvetta or such Brands to be processed.




Taking only 5 Days to begin will allow me to ease myself into a complete de-toxification of things that I snack on which are mostly unhealthy! (Not always but sometimes)

So the task is to eat as much pure foods as possible
Today the day began with a green drink Something that looked like this... it had zucchini, collards, celery, arugula, watercress and grapefruit (2) and I added equal amounts of filtered water and chia seeds.
 Lunch was a mild hand made goat cheese with almonds and nuts dehydrated with herbs and honey, and a pear
Dinner was shitaki mushrooms sauteed with left over frozen peas (kinda processed?) and fresh summer squash with a baked potato, NO margarine NO extras


 After Dinner we took the dog for a walk in our local park and while walking I foraged lovely and delicious blackberries and red raspberries.. YUMMY and FREE



So Remember Boys and Girls to Eat your Fruits and Veggies like your Mother told you to!
