What Cara Eats in a Day II

The long awaited video follow up on what Cara Brotman eats in a day. To most people, it’s not exciting, but the payoff speaks for itself. Cara does not feel she is denying herself anything- she actually CRAVES her two favorite things- a huge monster salad and her favorite raw vegan “cookie dough” (not really dough). At first many people wonder how she can get enough calories or protein- but once you add up the numbers- it’s actually quite a bit! Chickpeas (Garbanzo beans), lentils and nuts are LOADED with protein and calories. Check out the nutritional breakdown numbers below. Also check out the amazing cookbook www.HealthyCookbook.com that shows healthy raw plant-based versions of the world’s most favorite meals.
