first raw food purchases - what should they be??

Hello everybody!!

I’m new to this and although I’ve been researching and reading about this for a while now, I need advice from some seasoned raw fooders.

Being a student, I can only purchase one at a time, so what should be first? A juicer, a blender, or a food processor. Which is most versatile?

Also—what are some staple ingredients? I was thinking Agave Nectar, cold pressed olive oil, sea salt…am I on the right track?

Help!

Blender hands down is your best fisrt purchase. I highly recommend Blend tec…the best! Its a blender and processor all in one.

I am recommending the magic bullet also. Since it is small enough, it travels with me to and from work.

I started with a magic bullet. The hummus was so good, had to get a bigger machine, so got a vitamix. I can’t imagine using anything else. On LOW SPEED, you can grind things and on high pulverize them so they mix with not so tasty foods ( cabbage) where you can’t taste the veggies, only the fruit.
The mixed drinks with cabbage, carrot, fruit are so yummy….. we don’t want to let on or “rawbucks” will open at every corner charging 10 dollars for a cup of raw drink.

Hey everyone*
I currently have a magic bullet…..I’m trying to get introduced to the whole raw foods thing….what is the best way to start out? What are some general “rules” to follow? I have been on a detox for 2 weeks now, and have eliminated ciggs, pot, caffine, diet soda,aspertame,diet pills and pretty much all meat and dairy, and have been eating all organic…..I would like to just do it up….but Im not sure what steps to take to start…..also, I have been experiencing cold-like symptoms for the past 3 days, and wasn’t sure if I had caught a cold or if it was all the toxins being released….any comments or suggestions would be helpful…thanks!
