This week I decided to try a new raw recipe – cinnamon crunch cereal! I adapted it from Raw, Quick & Delicious, and even though I used honey instead of agave, and cut the amount of sweetener by half, it still tasted overly sweet. That’s the one problem with most raw food recipes: the amount of sweetener they recommend is overpowering (even though I love my sweets!). Will have to tweak this recipe some more.
Yesterday’s weigh-in was the exact same as the day before.

I have no idea. I’ll err on the higher side. Had an insatiable appetite today!
