Raw vegan lunch + vegan veggie meal +【 how much veggies should I be eating??】 ⌬ Vegan meals ⏎

Vegan meals = lots of raw food. 

Vegan lunch.... yesh eh.

What we have in this pic is one lonely strawberry, some boysenberries, some blackcap raspberries,
Kale, nasturtium + flowers, pansy flowers, cucumber, large bunch of parsley, large head of redina lettuce, one poblano, some rainbow swiss chard, pineapple mint, basil, sugar snap peas, mesclun mix, white icicle currents, mini tomatoes, an apple, frozen lemon, frozen jackfruit, and frozen blueberries.

(everything homegrown except the lemon, jackfruit and blueberries)

By the end of this smoothie Im buzzin, while it did not taste the best, that was not my concern.
Its been about 2 weeks now since the switch to a high carb vegan diet and honestly the change has been phenomenal, the amount of energy gained is undeniable, My brain seems to be more on point and the colour of my skin is golden even without tanning.
( Im not even eating many carrots ).
This lunch was comprised of my daily vegetable portion as recently I've been following the 80/10/10+ trying to watch my oxalic acid intake after finding out it can cause kidney stones.
Not the biggest issue to worry over, just not a good idea to go overboard on the kale shakes.

( oxalic acid can be found in Kale, broccoli, spinach, swiss chard, and many of the brassicas + more)

I will most likely add herbs in at dinner and go with potatoes, rice or gluten free pasta,
other then this its all fruit,
everything from kiwis, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, jackfruit, soursop, bananas,
currents, lemon/limes/orange/hybrids, guavas, tomatoes, pineapple, peaches, cherries, etc,
etc.
In Canada there is no shortage for vegans, with organic seasonal items being best and easiest to find, there is still a number of retailers selling exotic rare fruits and veggie at comparable prices to other parts of the world, but lets be honest, ITS A HELL OF A LOT OF $$$$$₡₡₡₢₢₨₨₨₩₩₩₪₪₪₫₫₭₭₮₮₮₯₯¤¤₰₰௹௹௹௹฿฿฿฿¥¥¥¥££££££££₤₤₤₤₱₱₱₥₥₥₥¢¢¢¢¢¢¢.... AHHH TOOO MUCH!!!

Thats why in my personal opinion its only economical if you grow the food yourself and just supplement from time to time with the really rare or hard to grow things ie, jackfruit, soursop, kiwi's.
Always go for the ( organic ) stuff on sale because fruit is easy to freeze, and when kiwis come in at $2 a basket its easy to just bundle up a whole bunch, gobble some down, dehydrate a few jars and freeze the rest.

Parsley Aquaponic system

Depending on how hardcore you are with your smoothies, this could provide a family with a constant supply of parsley or 2 people on a detox/smoothie a day lifestyle. Parsley is great at pulling heavy metals out of the body and with the ever growing amount of these particulates in the air its almost essential to be eating your herbs daily.

I ended up straining the pulp and mixing in some organic cane sugar and ceylon cinnamon, dropped a few spoonfuls onto the dehydrator sheet and now I have a snake for a few days, I know there not the nicest looking things but hey, should that be what I care about right now?
