Raising your vibration never tasted so good!
I have not created a ‘menu’ for the Reboot, because I want you to have the freedom to pick and choose what foods you will be eating. It is my hope that taking the initiative to explore the many websites (some are recommended below) that are already out there that support raw food eating, will give you a greater sense of ‘ownership’ of what you are doing for yourself and make the connection with what REAL food can do for you. Be sure to review the restrictions on The Reboot page when considering a recipe.

Homemade Cashew Milk
Great for Week 1 and Week 2
Makes 3 cups
Ingredients
Unsweetened cashew milk:
1 cup raw cashews, soaked for 2 hours and drained
3 cups filtered water
Pinch of Celtic sea salt
For Sweetened Milk:
Unsweetened milk, plus:
1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract
3 to 6 pitted dates (or 2 to 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup or other sweetener)
For Chocolate Milk:

2 tablespoons raw cacao powder, plus more to taste
Cinnamon milk:
Sweetened milk, plus:
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus more to taste
Strawberry Milk:
3 cups fresh strawberries, plus more to taste
Directions
To soak the cashews, place the nuts in a glass or ceramic bowl or large glass jar, and cover with filtered water. Add 1 teaspoon Celtic sea salt and splash of fresh lemon juice, cover the container with a breathable kitchen towel, and allow to soak at room temperature for 2 hours.
Drain, and discard the soaking liquid (do not use this to make the milk).
Rinse the cashews several times to remove the anti-nutrients and enzyme inhibitors.
Throw the rinsed cashews, water, and salt in your blender, with any additions (if using), and blast on high for about 60 seconds, until smooth and creamy. (There is no need to strain.)
Store the milk in a sealed container in the fridge.
Activated cashew milk (made with soaked cashews) will keep for 2 to 3 days in a very cold fridge. Un-soaked cashew milk will keep for about 5 days.

CELERY JUICE RECIPE
Great for Weeks 1, 2 & 3!!!!
Ingredients
1 bunch celery (or more to make 16 ounces)

Rinse the celery and run it through a juicer. Drink immediately for best results.
Alternatively, you can chop the celery and blend it in a high-speed blender until smooth. Strain well and drink immediately.
Plain, fresh celery juice is one of the most powerful healing juices available to us. This clean, green drink is the very best way to start your day. Make this juice a part of your daily routine, and soon you won't want to go a day without it!
If you want to heal and improve your health quickly and efficiently, follow this routine:
* Every morning, drink roughly 16 ounces of celery juice on an empty stomach. Make sure it's fresh, plain celery juice with no other ingredients. Celery juice is a medicinal, not a caloric drink, so you'll still need breakfast afterward to power you through the morning. Simply wait at least 15 minutes after drinking your celery juice before consuming anything else.
* If you're sensitive and 16 ounces is too much, start with a smaller amount and work your way up.
* Use organic celery whenever possible. If you're using conventional celery, be sure to wash it especially well before juicing.
* If you find the taste of straight celery juice too strong, you can juice one cucumber and/or one apple with the celery. This is a great option as you get adjusted to the flavor. As you get used to it, keep increasing the ratio of celery; the greatest benefits come when celery juice is consumed on its own.
