I eat many a hummus salad, and mine aren’t small. We are talking about 1 1/2 lbs of salad, plus a container of Trader Joe’s Eggplant hummus (which is like a seriously garlicky mixture of baba ghanouj and hummus and I am a complete addict.

I think the more people realize the affect that the food they are eating is having on their bodies, minds and spirits, the more they will start to make healthier choices.

It is still hard to come by something whole and healthy, gluten or dairy-free at most restaurants and even grocery stores, but hopefully the awareness is growing in a positive direction.

The trick is to do just what you did and weed out something healthy at the store. This can be a challenge but in the long run, it is so worth it for the sake of our health.

My all time favorite, a bowl of mixed fruit with some orange slices, fresh mango, watermelon, pineapple, etc. and a little bit of fruit seasoning. Really yummy and healthy!

I also like to eat some cucumbers, and it may sound weird but they taste even better with a tinsy bit of salt and lime. You should try it.

You could also make some yummy sandwiches, green salads, tuna with saltine crackers. Raw carrots, broccoli, green bell peppers, and celery with ranch dressing also sounds really good.

There’s so many great things you can make without having to “cook” them.

I think I”m going to print this out and post it near my computer! Love the approach, and while I KNOW what’s best for me, I don’t always manage it. This will be my reminder and motivation in one!

Easy dinners? Raw collard leaves spread with hummus, a few slices of tomato and avocado, then rolled up. Love these. Raw kale salad (quick, easy, still our favorite salad at home). Fresh fruit salad with nuts/seeds. Raw almond-veggie pate on thin sweet potato slices (recipe also on my blog). Oops, just saw you’re off nuts/seeds. . . maybe some of these for when you’re back on!
