  • I use a sublingual B12. One of the brands I like is: http://www.vitacost.com/Jarrow-Formulas-Methyl-B12 I've read that the methyl version is better assimilated. Regarding Spirulina and Algae forms of B12.... this is from wikipedia: "...So-called …

  • Smoothies (especially green smoothies) can be very helpful and they're easy to make and transport. They make a great breakfast, snack, or dessert!!! As you add more greens to your life, you'll feel healthier and healthier. I would eat as much organi…

  • I've definitely had times where I ate 3 bananas in a row. I don't do it often, but there are times, yes. I like getting my vitamin B6 from them, among other nutrients (vitamin C, potassium, and fiber). And, they're so easy to take with me for the da…

  • I find that I don't have to wear it often, which is great. But, on those rare occasions, I have an absolute favorite... It's by Terressentials (http://www.terressentials.com/bath.html#deo). It gets great reviews. My mom loved it, too. Cheers to fre…
    in Does anyone have any natural deodorant ideas? Comment by KristensRaw
  • It's a great point. You can also make Raw foods have a warming nature by adding certain flavors and spices (for example, ginger, garlic, or hot peppers). Also, including fermented, unpasteurized foods is great as well as miso (living, but not Raw).…

  • I went vegan for the animals. I recognize it's optimal for health and the environment, but my initial reasoning is my passion and love for animals. My introduction into veganism was with John Robbins' book Diet For A New America. Cheers, Kristen  
    in Why Are You Vegan??? Comment by KristensRaw
  • I get my vitamin D from the sun and I take a B12 supplement :) I eat a balanced diet that for the most part is seasonal. Sometimes I'm 100% Raw/Vegan and sometimes I'm High Raw, All Vegan (HRAV). I've never felt better in my life :) Cheers and good…

  • I have a bag in my refrigerator and I can't wait to eat them this week. I've ordered them online in the past, but they also sell them at Whole Foods Market. My husband hasn't had them yet and I think he'll love them. Cheers, Kristen Suzanne

  • I've had great success juicing my greens with my Breville. I paid about $100 for it (through Amazon during the summer of 2008) and it now appears amazon is charging $200 for it. The model I have is: Breville BJE200XL Juice Fountain Compact Chrome Ex…

  • It could definitely be some detoxing if you're feeling lethargic. Or, not. If you're not feeling particularly lethargic, it could just be a little "lazy" bug. After all, it is a busy time of year and it's winter, so like you wrote, sometimes you jus…

  • I have both the Blentec and the Vita mix. They are both great, but what I find is that I ALWAYS go to use my Blendtec even though they're side by side on my counter. The main thing is how easy it is to clean out the food from and to clean in general…

  • I’ve had periods where I’m 100% Raw and periods where I’m HRAV (High Raw – All Vegan) – like I am currently. With both diets, I feel great. I think balance is important, as well as changing seasons, where you’ve been in the past with your diet, what…

    in Raw meal delivery opinions? Comment by KristensRaw
  • Frozen veggies are typically NOT raw because they are blanched before freezing – thereby destroying most of the nutrition. Fruit, as mentioned above, is fine because it’s not blanched before freezing. I’ve read that you can lose as much as up to 30%…
