RAW-VITALIZE: The Easy, 21-Day Raw Food Recharge (Countryman Press) by Mimi Kirk and Mia Kirk White, was just released in perfect time for New Years resolutions!
Mimi Kirk and her daughter, Mia, developed the RAW-VITALIZE plan when they were in an unhealthy rut with their diets, and they decided to team up and remind themselves of the benefits of eating raw. They needed a plan that would work with their busy schedules, with meals that would fit into a set menu, but still allow them to mix and match foods. This 21-day plan is not a quick detox or cleanse, but rather a 3-week recharge that fuels your body with delicious and nourishing foods and provides a jumpstart to better eating for the long term. This style of eating will rekindle your health and wellbeing, help reduce cravings for sugar and processed foods, teach your body how to fuel up naturally, and leave you feeling satisfied and re-energized.
According to Mimi and Mia, “We created a collection of simple recipes, which are colorful, beautiful to look at, and easy to prepare. They are nourishing, satisfying, and will fuel you throughout your busy day. Our flavorful recipes include simple techniques, handy tips, and no-fuss shopping. Most of the recipes can be made in approximately 10 to 15 minutes, making it easy to keep your 21-day commitment and beyond.”
