• I agree!!! I loooooooove the sun and try to sunbathe regularly. I always feel great when I do :-) Just wish I lived somewhere where it was sunny year round!

• Wonderful!!! Best of luck to you in your new biz! I’m sure it’ll do great! And the website looks great! I’ve always been curious… do you have to follow the same regulations and codes when preparing/selling the raw dishes as compared to regular cooke…

• Hmmmm, things shouldn’t be too hard as long as you keep it simple! Most fruits and veggies (I’ve found out) keep quite well for shorter periods of time without a fridge. Even basic salad dressings like vinaigrettes don’t require refrigeration! (only…

• I often do smoothies for lunch. Whether they are made out of fruit or greens. Salads are great for on the go, just pack your dressing seperately. But you can also make all kinds of veggie salads (carrot salads, cucumber+tomato salads, coleslaws, etc…

• Holy cow Jenny, you must be my twin! he he! ;-) I agree though, it’s the getting past the feeling that you have to have these huge assorted meals that is the hardest thing. And yes it does take some time so just try your best to hang in there. Like …

  in Having some struggles Comment by coconutty
• I totally agree… depending on how “toxic” of a lifestyle you’ve had, it can seriously take a loooong time to heal. I was pretty much raised on processed food and fast food. I’ve been raw for a good year now and I still have to go through cleanses. I…

• Yeah, there’s seeds that contain cyanide… I’m not one of those people who worry about it though! I’ve heard of plenty of other people blending the apple seeds even though they’re considered “bad”. I don’t do it all the time, or consume a lot of them…

• I do cantaloupe smoothies alllllll the time, it is complete heaven! Cut a small-med cantaloupe in half. remove the skin and throw the whole half in the blender (cut up) along with the seeds, add about a cup or 2 of water and add half a vanilla bean …

  in What to do w/ fruit's seed? Comment by coconutty
• I agree, I think a lot of recipes are way too nut heavy. I guess it all depends on what you are trying to make. Like Sonne83 suggested, seeds can make good replacements. I used tahini in place of nut butters all the time. For sauces or dips avocados…

• Neato-burrito! ... Raw burrito of course ;-) Thanks for the post! Yeah I agree, the almonds seem to be quite superior. I don’t know what would be the best replacement for them :-(

  in Nut Comparison Chart Comment by coconutty
• Well for making the smoothies I would suggest starting off with milder greens. Start off with romaine lettuce, green and red leaf lettuces… they are really mild tasting. Then work your way up to the kale, once you get used to the taste ;-) As for th…

• Hi Zoe. I’ve been thinking about doing the one day a week fast. Do you make it the same day every week? And what day do you find works out the best for you?

• Oh boy I could totally do a watermelon fast! Maybe I’ll try that next time!

  in Water Fasting/Cleansing Comment by coconutty
• The biggest tip I can offer you… save the “gourmet recipes” for the weekends! Or maybe do prep work for recipes on the weekends so you can just throw it together during the week. I don’t bother much with recipes anymore. I just cut up my fruit throw…

  in can someone help me find a website Comment by coconutty
• The problem that I’ve been having with these websites is that they allow you to customize your foods and what not for cals and fat, but they don’t let you customize calories burned for workouts. You have to pick from their stupid workout lists. I’m …

• I’ve been told that the ones with the slightly purple flesh are SUPER young and that’s why they tend to have very little meat what-so-ever. The white ones are just a slightly older young coconut. I’ve experienced both before, and yeah they taste sli…
