• spiritedmama, You are not wrong. Originally she said she did 60% fruit, 40% greens, but now she has up-ed her greens to about 70% greens and 30% fruit because her body is more used to greens and she craves greens more than the sweetness of fruits. :…

• Hi peachy_pie, Do a search for ode to green smoothies on google. Chewing greens does not break thru the cellulose wall of the cells of the greens, unless you chew them to liquid. Liquefying them does so you reap the amazing benefits. Victoria Bouten…

• Would you offer a beer to an alcoholic? What is so taboo about a child wanting to eat fruit and vegetables? Why is that so “weird”? I have to laugh, a child in my daughter’s class eats hotdogs every single day. My daughter said, “sometimes she gives…

• That does make it tough living so close to them, maybe you could bring along a bag with the snacks/fruit that you’d be ok with him eating if he asks for something to eat? Cut up an entire watermellon onto wedges so everybody can eat it :) Maybe you …

• I buy agave from Wholefoods when I’m in Florida for about $6.50 for the larger bottle, $4.50ish for the smaller bottle. Haven’t bought cacao yet, but can get it at the local health food store I believe, and we don’t live in a huge city.

• I just cut up one today and for the first time read the small print on the label…do not refrigerate until cut. Store in a cool, dry place until cut then refrigerate…duh, I had mine in the fridge. I diced mine small with raw corn kernels, diced pears…

• I bought some of those “green” bags that allow veggies and fruits to “breathe” correctly to prevent deteriorating quickly and do think that they are helping, so I’m going to put jicamas in one of those to slow down molding. I really like them, sort …

• I don’t see an all-purpose vitamix container. I only see one for wet and one for dry ingredients, difference being the shape of the blades. The wet blades all come more to a point where the dry has 2 of them squared off.

• I might have to try Soyabella in the future :) In the Yaoh, I used the minimum amount of required water, I believe it is 4 cups, to their small measuring cup for nuts or seeds which basically is about 1/4 cup, and compared to 1 cup nuts to 2 cups wa…

• According to the juiceman and other raw food and juicing books that we have, lemons and limes, whenever juiced thru a juicing machine, should be juiced whole, including the outside, pith and inside. The pithy part is where most of the valuable nutri…

• Hellooooooo :) I was thinking of getting the 12 tray also only because it pulls 1200 watts vs 1600 watts…BUT now am concerned about the heat from it. So is it noisy or a fairly quiet fan? I have a L’Equip now, just wondering how loud it’d be compare…
