Ringing In The New Year

My first bite of food in 2017 is my idea of perfection. ๐ด๐ What are your food, health or diet (in the holistic sense of the word) plans, continuations or resolutions?
I began the year with a welcome 36-hour water fast ๐ฆ and am now delighted to nourish mind, body and soul. ๐๐พ When in doubt, eat the rainbow! I recommit each day to fuel myself with a healthy, well-balanced, nutritious, plant-based diet. I choose organic whenever and wherever possible. I eat fresh, real foods in place of packaged, processed goods. I've been glutenfree for over ten years now, vegan for seven, and vegetarian since birth (save a year โ if you want the whole story, just ask). I drink copious amounts of water and fresh-pressed juice. I nosh on raw veggies and fruits and nuts. I skip all animal products to dramatically reduce my environmental footprint. I cook often and hereby avow to prepare even more meals from scratch in the coming year. I masterfully seek out like-minded food purveyors, chefs, cafรฉs and restaurants around the globe. I never feel deprived or hungry. I relish the taste, scent, texture and beauty of each dish โ and yes, I photograph most for myย @ErinSchrodeย Instagram. I respect the integrity of sourcing, farming and sustainable agriculture. I buy local to support our communities, land and economies. I use food as my medicine and rarely, if ever, resort to prescriptions. I do liquid fasts from time to time to allow my system to recalibrate. I welcome seasonal offerings and the comings and goings of produce throughout the year. I know my farmers by name and purchase their bounties weekly. I am an unabashed foodie โ and wouldnโt have it any other way.
People always ask: Erin, what do you eat/not eat? I thought a new year a good time to shareโฆ and am inspired by the feast before me right now: an array of delectable colorful spreads, glutenfree bread, chickpea veggie omelette, mixed salad, and beet-carrot-orange juice.ย #eatwelllivewellย #foodieforlife
