I’m sorry to say this but I will stop posting on Raw Bento indefinitely. I am just way too busy and it’s really hard maintaining three blogs that are good. I have made the decision to foc...
I’ve been neglecting my hemp seeds lately so I decided to put them to good use in an alternative way — in a salad dressing! Recipe (in a food processor; makes two servings): 1 tbs hemp seeds 1 ...
I know I said no desserts for this little while but I do let myself have a sweet snack in the afternoon before a work out. I still think eating before bed is a major factor in my weight struggles so ...
Whenever I’m in a raw food rut, I try to get out of it by eating “chewable” raw lunches. Life gets so busy sometimes that it’s easy to fall back on raw soups and smoothies but...
I’m trying to be more careful about consuming nuts because I’m on a mission not to gain weight before my wedding. I’m not trying to lose weight, but if I do, I’ll be a happy b...
My taste buds are weird right now: I’m craving more cooked food in this bloody hot weather! It was like that last year too. With the onset of summer, I relished raw food and even wrote about it...
Hey guys, I thought it would be interesting to see what my readers think are the top 10 fave posts here at Raw Bento. I wasn’t surprised that the coconut-frosted brownie came out tops….;-...
Yup, it’s the time of the year where it is just perfect to eat raw and not feel an ounce of effort. I have just been enjoying all my raw eats through the day but I still eat a cooked meal in th...
Hellooooo, hisashiburiiii (it’s been a long time in Japanese)…. Life is so busy right now but I’m sure things will get back into a regular rhythm soon. I just flew to Singapore for ...
…in terms of time….Don’t you think it takes a while to chop everything up into nice bite-sized pieces? That’s why I only tend to have fruit bowls for breakfast on the weekend&...
Since I live in Tokyo, I don’t get access to many “cool” raw food items but I really need the variety to keep my meals exciting. I’m lucky that the non-raw fiance flies to the...
Thanks for all your lovely and kind comments on my Midnight Pancakes post. I was feeling very emo and needed some support… Today, I thought I would write what I eat for folks who are interested...
Do you ever have those moments when you feel like you are not winning on all fronts? I feel like that now, so I made some pankcakes at midnight. I was inspired by the lemon almond pancakes that Miche...
Once in a while, I go “high raw” instead of 100% raw for lunch. I really do best in terms of alertness and focus when I eat raw from morning till evening, but I do get a teensy bit tired ...
Happy Friday! I was inspired by raw mama Kirsten Suzanne again and made cucumber boats. When I saw her picture of guacamole in cucumber boats, I was intrigued. As you know recently, I’ve been a...
Lately, I have been a bit dismayed that green smoothies are making feel nauseous — it’s so strange because I adore green smoothies. [And no, Im not pregnant...] I had a large serving of my raw ...
Hello my lovelies, I have decided to make another video after a long hiatus from Youtube. I have been bombarded with many questions about Tokyo after the Mar 11 earthquake/tsunami/nuclear disasters s...
Once in a while, I spoil myself with a dessert for breakfast on the weekend and today was one of those days. I would also call this raw banana split a “hormone-balancer” dessert…oka...
This was a good day — the sun was shining and I felt blissed out tucking into some raw granola (Go Raw is my fave my far!) and walnut milk with strawberries, bluberries, banana, and raisins. There ar...
I’m addicted to Instagram ever since I upgraded my cell to an iPhone 4. I know iPhone 5 is coming out soon, but hey, technology ain’t my strong suit. I like how the green in the photo pop...
I have waxed lyrical about raw almond milk here before — that was when I was using my cheap-ass-can’t-blend-to -save-its-life-blender and it tasted great. First I blended water with almonds, str...
…I got a Blendtec!!!! I’m in heaven… This is a second hand Blendtec Total Blender Basic for 27,000JPY (USD300; I understand that a brand new one would cost anywhere between USD400 &...
I spoke too soon when I said I wasn’t interested in blogging about food. I’ve had a very strange few weeks and I still haven’t figured out what is really going on in my head and my ...
Hi there, remember me? Sorry for being absent — life was a bit of a mess after the horrific Mar 11 earthquake and tsunami in the Tohoku region, which is in northeastern Japan. I live in Tokyo so I...
Last Wednesday, I was still sick with a stuffy nose and general tiredness. My 10 days in Melbourne were not my best and I consumed way too much of everything plus I didn’t sleep well (alcohol d...
I think I’ve mentioned that the non-raw fiance travels a lot for work, so when he comes home, I try to make something special for him. He was struck down by flu but the chocolate fiend in him c...
It occurred to me that I’ve never really talked much about raw green juices in this blog — weird, because these are so important in helping me achieve wellness daily, so here’s an ode of ...
I loved the deep blush shade of this raspberry chia pudding and that’s the only reason why I’m posting this picture (!!!). It’s exactly the same recipe as my pink bubblegum strawber...
I’ve blogged about my raw food disasters here before, but I’ve never done a post on saving a failed attempt. I’m not even going to post this recipe because it was kinda awful. Basic...
I have this bad habit of not eating when I’m very busy or forgetting to tote along raw snacks so I would somehow feel, mentally, the next day an insatiable hunger. I’m usually satisfied w...
