I'm feeling pretty good today - lighter and less hungry. I had a headache last night and this morning, but it's pretty much gone now. At lunch I had a shot of wheatgrass, which hit me hard - I was actually a bit dizzy! I can't remember the last time I had that reaction - well, since I had about 4 oz. at the Ann Wigmore Institue. Guess my body's feeling a little sensitive right now!

I had the rest of the corn chowder for breakfast and a 20 oz fruit smoothie for lunch with peach, raspberries and fresh apple juice. I'll probably finish off the carrot soup for dinner.

This afternoon I've been eating Cream of Mushroom Soup (from Angela Elliot's "Alive in 5"). I let it stay in the Vita-mix long enough to get a touch warm.

• portobello mushroom

• almond milk
• celery
• parsley
• almond butter
• salt
• olive oil
• black pepper

I also made Gazpacho (from a new book by Dorit - "Celebrating our Raw Nature") today to take to a dinner party tomorrow night. It's not completely blended, but I put all of the ingredients in the food processor except the scallions.

• roma tomatoes

• water
• cucumber
• red pepper
• lemon & lime, juiced
• olive oil
• garlic
• red jalepeno
• Sambal Olek (hot pepper puree)
• sea salt
• cayenne

The recipe also calls for fresh basil as a garnish. I decided to add the scallions cuz I was surprised the recipe didn't call for onions, and it seemed like it was missing something. There's also an Avocado Salsa to serve on top of the soup, but I'll wait til tomorrow to make that.

• avocado

• lemon juice
• cucumber
• red chile (I'll use a jalepeno or thai chile)
