Little people with big things to say: Carissa’s 3 year old speaks up!

by Carissa Leventis-Cox

Raw Mom Carissa was inspired by last week’s wonderful interview with 10 yr old, Mika, where we ask our little ones what its like having a raw mom and eating raw food…

“It was fun to hear a 10 year old talk about eating RAW foods.  I wondered what my 3 year old would say! ”

S:  I like salad.

Ma:  (I must be dreaming!): How about fruit smoothies?
Son:  Yes!  Of course I do… lots of times.
Ma:  How about green smoothies? Do you like green smoothies sometimes?
Son:  Yes…sometimes, just in all places.

Ma:  What’s your favourite breakfast?
Son:  You know! You guess it!
Ma:  You like fruit?
Son:  Yes.
Ma:  You liked the raw oatmeal you had this morning?
Son:  No I don’t!

Ma:   You don’t?  How about when you have salads with sprouts?
Son:  Yeah!  I like lots and lots of salads in different places we go.

Ma:  How about when I make you raw chips?  Do you like those?
Son:  Some of those are pretty.
Ma:  What other raw do you like?
Son:  Kind of…

Ma:  Do you like raw cookies I make for you?

Son:  No!  I just like salad and potatoes.
Ma:  OK. Thank you so much for talking to me today.
Son:  I’ll now talk on a different line.  Thank You!

In the photo my son is digging into zucchini chips, I used the same recipe as my spinach chips – but without oil. I prefer the spinach chips, but he prefers these.
