Sharing a What I Eat in A Day / Day in the Life in Playa Grande Costa Rica!

Filled to the brim with epic surf, simple raw recipes, as well as a slightly fancier dinner recipe!!

Hope you really enjoy it, I had a blast! 🙂

Living the raw vegan lifestyle in Costa Rica is absolutely incredible. This Day in the Life in Playa Grande in Costa Rica showcases how I fuel my body with fresh tropical fruits while surfing, doing yoga, and soaking up the beach vibes in Playa Grande.

Morning Surf Session

My Day in the Life in Playa Grande, Costa Rica starts early with surf prep. I slathered on some coconut oil using yoga moves to reach all those hard to reach spots before hitting the waves. Then it’s hydration time before paddling out.

I’m rocking my Xero Shoes Z Trail sandals, seriously the best sandals next to barefoot. The surf session goes for almost 2 hours, catching little waves on a little board. Playa Grande has miles and miles of beautiful beach, way more chill than the party town of Tamarindo. I’m still kind of a novice but I’m learning bottom turns and getting some fun little rides in.

Post Surf Fuel

After that session, nothing beats a hot shower and then it’s time to refuel. Our fridge is stocked with the good stuff: lots of bananas, passion fruit, tree tomatoes, mangoes, pineapples, coconuts, and heart of palm.

For my post surf meal, I blend up a massive cantaloupe smoothie. One and a half cantaloupes makes about 2.5 liters of pure hydration and sweetness. This is the perfect way to recharge after being in the ocean.

Afternoon Activities

This Day in the Life in Playa Grande isnt just go go go, it also includes some downtime, and catching up on work. Later in the day, I size up to a 7’6″ board for another surf session to catch more of those small waves.

Dinner Time

For dinner, I’m making a tropical fruit soup with tons of local ingredients. I’ve got 10 tomatoes, 2 cucumbers, 2 sticks of heart of palm (one of the many exotic ingredients you can get here), and half a pineapple.

The sauce is a coconut cream made with the jelly from 4 young coconuts, a teeny bit of ginger, and a little garlic. I blend up the pineapple with half the tomatoes until smooth, then add the coconut cream.

I pour this fruity sauce over the chopped tomatoes, cucumber, and heart of palm. It’s basically a fruit soup and it’s way better than it looks. Super filling, incredibly fresh, and packed with nutrients from all these amazing tropical ingredients.

Living the Raw Vegan Lifestyle in Paradise

This Day in the Life in Playa Grande in Costa Rica perfectly captures what it’s like to live this lifestyle in a tropical paradise. Fresh local fruits, ocean time, yoga, surfing, and simple delicious meals that fuel an active beach life.

The abundance of fresh tropical produce makes eating raw vegan so easy and satisfying here, especially when you have been dreaming of the tropics. Every meal is an adventure with new fruits and combinations to try.
