Hi Gang!
This week, I finally made the video that everyone’s been asking me to make.
It’s the answer to the number one question I get asked: “What do YOU eat, Kris?”
So here’s a little show and tell, an up close and personal peek at MY eats!
In this video, you’ll see everything I made (and ate) for the day, which of course includes a boatload of green juice. Some of the delicious recipes can be found in Crazy Sexy Kitchen, while others are my go-to, everyday staples. All of the dishes are 100 percent plant-empowered, easy and quick. Hey, I filmed this on a spectacular fall day. You better believe I chose simple meals that would allow me to play in the autumn light and soak in the crimson.
I hope my little food tour inspires you to get creative in the kitchen. Remember, variety is the spice of life and the heart of a healthy diet. Every day brings new opportunities for fun and folly in the kitchen. Tomorrow, I’ll probably start my day with a green smoothie, then if I’m still hungry, I’ll make the hot Coconut and Mango Millet porridge from my cookbook. At lunch, I just might get a hankering for some hearty Crazy Sexy Bean Chili. Thankfully, I made and froze a big batch a few weeks ago. Defrost and a-go-go! And if I find myself in the middle of a snack attack, there are lots of recipes to choose from at KrisCarr.com and in Crazy Sexy Kitchen.
By the way, lately I’ve been obsessed with Brazil nuts (a great source of selenium, which helps boost metabolism and reduce inflammation). I toss a small handful in my smoothies and store them like dog treats (but for people) in my pockets.
Your Turn: If you have a question, leave a comment below. I’ll do my best to answer as many as possible. Or if you’ve got a plant-passionate dish, tip or trick to share, let us know in the comments section! We’d all love to know.
OK, press play.
Peace & cookin’,
I couldn’t resist commenting. Very well written!
Regarding Brazil nuts I love them too but have you checked Google lately? one a day is all you can eat to prevent selenium overdose symptoms, check it out I know you do but check it out again.
Dear Kris, I have a new craving in my life and that is green juice! It really is wonderful! I am halfway through my 30 radiotherapy sessions for my bresat cancer and the moment I get home, I prepare my green juice. It lifts my spirit and makes me feel that I am helping all the good cells in my breast to recover from those deadly beams. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your positive inspiration and support. Sending you lots of positive energy from South Africa.
In the video you split the juices into three servings. Is that better for absorption? I’ve been drinking about 24 oz in the morning. Wondering if I should break it up. Thank you for all you do!
Hey Laura! I’m the nutrition director here at KrisCarr.com, so I’ll chime in. Splitting juices gives you multiple opportunities to get plant-powered nutrients, but it’s not necessary. You can get tons of plant power in one big morning juice too. Cheers! xo – Jen

Dear Kris, i have been a follower of you for a while now, because i love cooking, healthy cooking and entertaining or just making good nutritional choices for my Family.This summer, though, my life has changed. A tumor was found in my gut and since the operation, nothing is the same. Doctors here, even good ones, can’t help much with Nutrition. It is all based around, no grains, nothing raw, no nuts, no fibre..which doesn’t help the guts nor fuels immune stability?!? I now receive chemo therapy- to be on the statistical ” safe side”- i took it! Dread, fear, gut decision; you name it. Now no one gives advice around how to cope wirh eating. Mainstream here; eat what you want and can. But during chemo( which is a three day procedure of receiving the meds) is difficult ( mainly dry toast?!?)!
I have all your books and am trying to incorporate more juice in between chemos. Also no dairy , eggs or glutin/atleast wheat. White rice still works better than quinoa or brown rice. Sugar I ditched long ago but do use dates, syrup ect. I know cancer loves sugar , This sweet thing freaks me out, because i believe i/ we need some sweetness in life.I also believe that foods ( honey included) are actually gifted to us for a reason and if i am in need if a cup of wild blueberries and a dab of raw honey- isn’t my body telling me sonething?
I would love your piece around, intuition food choices and facts from your wisdom box! Because I am a controle freak and i always felt I had this nutrition down ( had it in school/ loved it, but this has thrown me into being uncertain about my choices/ my part/ my fault …
I am in the beginning of this journey and your book ” crazy sexy cancer survivor is my purse size Bible! I love it, Amen it all the time! Thank you!!!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for ALL you do!
Lots of love from a cowgirl (Texas raised) in Germany!
