Raw Food Grocery List

December 2nd, 2009

groceriesA few weeks ago I told you that we started getting organic produce delivered to our door. It is really such an easier way to get more raw foods into your diet then having to make your out to the stores several times a week.

Sure I’m a bit lazy, but who doesn’t like getting stuff delivered right to their door?

We receive our raw fruits and veggies every Monday from Mama Earth Organics. They’re really great but sometimes I question whether it’s worth the extra money, considering that many times the produce is not even ripe to be eaten for several days.

Anyways, here’s our grocery list from this week:

- 8 bananas
- 4 apples
- 9 kiwi
- 7 satsuma oranges
- 8 pears
- 4 tomatoes
- 2 avocados
- 1 cucumber
- 1 head of broccoli
- 2 heads of lettuce
- 4 onions

All of this comes out to $55. Considering that Amy and I can get through pretty much half of these raw foods in just 1 day, I’m beginning to wonder if the cost is worth it. After all, it seems like we can get much more local and organic produce from some of the stores around us.

Obviously the convenience is nice but is it worth the price?

In the meantime, I’m going to enjoy feeding my body with delicious organic fruits and vegetables. I haven’t been as creative recently with some of my raw food recipes. In fact, most of my meals have consisted of several servings of the same fruit (ie. mono meals).

Also, at this time of year, I find that my body needs more warming foods. I’m not going to fight it. If my diet transitions to less raw foods in the winter, then that’s fine by me. As long as getting in my 10 servings of fruits and veggies each day, that’s what’s most important in my eyes.
