Have a nice day

This is actually a pretty good recipe for the non-beet inclined, since the flavor is as much carrot and orange based as it is beet based. But yeah, who cares: it looks SO pretty

Lauren,

Great question! Truth be told, I rarely, rarely craved cook foods. Occasionally I’ll see a vegan cookie or cupcake that’s tempting, and sometimes I’ll partake, but I also find that I eat so high-raw nowadays that those treats are likely to make me feel kind of crappy, and knowing that makes me not want them so much. They’re great transitional foods, but at this point in my raw journey I tend to focus more on dark chocolate or dates when I need a sweet fix!

As for what I eat in general: it’s true, I guess you could say that I’m a bit “virtuous.” Part of this is habit: I’m a very clean, healthy eater and have been for a while. Part is willpower: I’ve always had a lot of it. If I know something will make me feel crappy–ie, that vegan cookie I mentioned, or those smokes I still crave once in a while (stay tuned for a longer post on my experience quitting), or splurging on a shirt I don’t need to buy–I’m pretty good at just saying no. And part is because I manage to satisfy my sweet tooth in other ways: baked roots with a sprinkle of cinnamon, dark chocolate, the occasional frozen banana “soft serve” that I love so much.

(Have you tried that?)

Bianca,

I love that you just called beets the final frontier
