• Barose, I believe that every body is different and each person’s body has individual requirements. If you say that you don’t do well on a 8/1/1 type diet, than I wouldn’t try and push your body in to it. Once you have been raw for a while (6 months …

• Is the 8/1/1 the same as 80/10/10 that has been discussed on other strings on this site?

• I love raw cocao! It is one of my indulgences. I like to use it in raw cookie recipes as “chocolate chips”, grind it to a powder and add to almond mylk then warm in the dehydrator for “hot cocao” on a cold day, or eat it plain even- yes for me, befo…

• I breastfed my daugher until she was 23 months old, and I never gave her or myself any extra supplements. I had a healthy diet, though not veggie, vegan, or raw. We have always eaten only whole, unprocessed foods. Now that I am raw, she naturally wa…

• Can you add a little to the green smoothies? I’ve never tried, so not sure how strong the taste would be. I have a tabouleh recipe that uses cauliflower too, and it is amazing! Maybe try that!

• You may need to dehydrate, it depends on the recipe. The cinnamon roll recipe you don’t. Also, I posted a recipe for almond orange cookies that uses the almond pulp left over from almond milk…it is in the cookie section of the recipes on this site.

• There is a really easy one on this site that I made for my lettuce rolls…it is called Sunflower Almond Seed Cheese. It took me 5 min. to make in the food processor. I also think it tasted better the 2nd and 3rd day. The recipe is in the cheese secti…

• Om, I was originally diagnosed by my naturopath when I was trying to get pregnant with my daughter (now 3 yrs old). He put me on a naturopathic medication for my thyroid which I took until my daughter was 1 year old (about 4 years). At that point, m…

• I have hypothyroidism too. I have notice a lot of changes since becoming raw, and as I get closer to being 100%, I notice that I have alot more energy. Also, not so many energy highs and lows throughout the day. Also I have noticed that mood is more…

• I think the article has it’s good points and bad points. As far as the attitude (arrogant, etc.), I am wondering if the author is just mirroring the attitude that is often given to us when we talk about our lifestyle. I often get the same kind of ar…

• I ordered the powder on line, I just googled “raw coconut powder”. I think you are right Pam, I think I needed to chill it, just like you would with whip cream.

• Yeah! Thanks so much shannon marie. I can’t wait to try it. I like things really crunchy too, Zoe…in fact I have been craving really crunchy food so that is why I wanted to try the recipe!

  in Help finding recipe Comment by spiritedmama
• I think you may be right, Chris and Zoe, however, when I went to her site, I couldn’t find the recipe anywhere. I was hoping someone might have her book and might be able to post on the recipe section. Anyone…? (fingers crossed!)

• I don’t think so, it will get clogged up. At least that is what I have read.

  in wheatgrass Comment by spiritedmama
• Do you think it could have been the sprouts or the maple syrup? I have gotten food poisoning from sprouts before. If you don’t think it was either of those, maybe try soaking in the fridge next time just to be safe? When you contacted Sun Organic, d…

• I eat broccoli raw all the time, it is one of my favorites! I eat it with a raw hummus, or other raw dressing/dip. I don’t have time right now, but I will post some recipes a little later. Hope this helps!

• sweeet fruits are “typical fruits”...bananas, apples, etc. Non-sweet fruits are things like tomatoes, avacados, etc. Hope this helps! Oh, and I ditto what Zoe said…first goal is to just be raw. Then, when you are comfortable in that, listen to your …
