• PowerLifer, I hear ya! I'm in rural Canada myself, and I have never actually met another raw fooder in person (except my MiL, who got me into raw foods).

• Thanks for your feedback, you two! I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. I made the movie in iMovie (for Macs only). It was very easy! I agree about seaweed. Dulse and kelp noodles are necessities in my raw life... Warmth, La…

• I wash my face with a gentle cleanser, then I use coconut oil as a moisturizer afterwards. It works great for me, and I have acne prone skin. I haven't heard of using it as a cleanser or eye makeup remover. I'll have to try it, great idea. Best, L…

• It's your health. Cut back on other costs if possible. Feed your body what it needs. Also, your appetite will diminish and you'll eat a lot less. It seems really expensive at first, but you'll learn. Bananas and apples are your best friends. And sta…

  in Brainstorming about spending less on raw Comment by The Rawtarian
• I like both sweet and savoury at different times, but sometimes I just crave savoury like mad. When I'm really wanting something savoury I generally have mock tuna. I prepare raw tuna more than any other savoury recipe, for me it's a staple. Same wi…

• I watched a good YT video about the difference. I have no idea whether it's all hype of not, but the video seemed to indicate that there were many types of chia, and salba was the most nutrient-rich version. Not sure if it's simply a scam though!

• I hear you about the agave concerns. I have switched from agave to honey. I can buy it locally from a farmer. It's not vegan, but for me it works even though I eat a very strict raw lifestyle. I don't have any good date tips either, but I'll watch t…

• No blender? You've gotta get a blender. Even a cheapy $30 one! Do you have a food processor? If so, you can make raw carob truffles. Very easy. If not, I agree, cut up fruit is one of the most delicious desserts on the planet. -------------------…

• This isn't really a chart, but I've written out a few of my favourite substitutions. It might help. I don't think there's a good substitution for chia seeds. They are really unique. They become gelatinous, kind of like tapioca. I would suggest that…

• Lol, love that gorilla sandwich! I can't wait to try that. Re: lunches, I make sure to always have raw crackers on hand. Then I bring half an avocado in a ziploc, a spoon, and some salt. I spread the avocado on crackers, add some sprouts (in a zipl…

• I don't soak mine. Similar to FiberArtChick, the trick is to just keep on processing. Don't give up! The nuts go through different stages. I blogged about what I do: http://therawtarian.com/raw-almond-butter-recipe/ I don't add water, although I'm s…

• My husband calculated this for us, because he objected to the dehydrator for energy reasons. Luckily, we realized that it doesn't cost much so he conceded to my buying one. Based on our electricity rates (approx. $0.15 per kilawatt hour), if the de…
