It is day 29 or our 100-Day Raw Food & Fitness Challenge. Kirsten and I and the kids(Eris rode her bike, Max & Wes rode in the jogger stroller) just got back from our run.
Typically after our run we have a banana, date, spinach recovery drink, but, because it is so gray and gloomy here in Vancouver Washington we decided to have something different. A bright and cheery Sunshine Smoothie.
This smoothie is just oranges and pineapple and it is beaming with the bright light of the sun. It is like liquid sunshine.
You Are Solar Powered
Did you know that all of the energy on the Earth comes from the Sun. The energy that powers your car, lights your lights, heats your home, and moves your body comes from the Sun. You are 100% solar powered. Everything is.
Since we can’t convert the Sun’s energy directly into energy for ourselves we rely on second hand solar power. We get our energy from plants. Plants convert and store the Sun’s energy as carbohydrate, fat and protein. Did you know that all the protein on the planet comes from plants? It does. If you eat animals you are getting third hand solar energy and second hand protein, fats and carbs.
Go to the Source
If you want vibrant health, if you want to shine like the Sun, get as close as you can to the source, get your carbs, proteins and fats from plants. Eat raw fruits and veggies.
