Raw Vegetable Recipes

Hi Friends,

I'm getting back to my normal routine and it feels great. Today I rode the spin bike, I can usually push out 20 miles in 60 minutes. I always like testing myself when I get back from a long trip to see if I lost any cardio endurance. I pushed out 21 miles, not bad at all. I've been staying on track with this week's nutrition challenge, chomping on raw vegetables but I want a little more. I found a few recipes to rev up my raw veggie challenge. All recipes were easy to make and absolutely delicious. 

Enjoy!
