cafeteria success!

i don't know what the point of this blog is REALLY but maybe just to remind myself of what works and what doesn't when travelling to places that aren't so vegan (and raw!) friendly.

before this trip (this is my 6th time to korea!), i dehydrated a bunch of organic fruit and nuts which have been SO amazing... look at this... i did apples and bananas and PERSIMMONS. JOY!!! i also did some kiwi which was pretty fun!

 and okay.. if you are going to be somewhere for awhile, get to know the people who make the food and know about it! my head chef friend hooked me up with this fruit bowl this morning which was so amazing (i gave the juice to my friend). he also has been serving up more vegan-friendly dishes than just the usual iceberg lettuce salad this camp and i am SO GRATEFUL.

i still wonder if i will eat all of my snacks before camp is over but i feel like i will survive regardless ^_^

korean middle school cafeteria day 7

breakfast today was especially amazing as my korean nutritionist friend's friend at the cafeteria brought me nectarines and grapes? YAY!!!! and that is after i had those plums! so much fresh fruit!













and then at lunch... something i have never seen in my 4 camps here... raw vegetables! carrots and cucumbers!? YES!!!!














dinner was not inspiring or helpful in any way and i'm still wondering what i should snack on at movie night... maybe some chocolate (cacao, of course!) covered goji berries? inca berries? one of the raw cookies i found in LA?














fast forward a few hours...

so i decided against the movie but decided on a cookie that was coconut deliciousness. i also tried some kale chips (salt and vinegar) which really were the worst i've ever had and it's pretty hard to screw up kale. not enough vinegar and they tasted old. i guess you gotta just make em yourself if you're going to eat them. kinda hard when you're travelling. but maybe next time i'll prepare my own in advance!
