• I’ve made homemade coconut milk/cream before and like Jenny said it’s WORTH IT! :-)

  in canned coconut milk Comment by coconutty
• There’s really no need for it. I think they’re just trying to sell you more stuff, ya know. On the commercial model (vita-prep)... one container does it all.

  in Anyone try Blend Tec vs Vitamix? Comment by coconutty
• I don’t think the vitamix has problems making nut butters! I make them all the time! I got mine with one all purpose container as well so there is no need to switch.

  in Anyone try Blend Tec vs Vitamix? Comment by coconutty
• I went with vitamix just cause I’m a simple person and I like the simple controls. No worries about choosing “programs” or what not… I have complete control over what I’m blending and that’s how I like it! And I’m in love with that little variable d…

• My technique is just about the same as jenny’s! Practice makes perfect… I’m nowhere near perfect yet but I sure am a whole lot better since my first coconut! Each time gets easier and easier! :-)

• I 2nd the kitchenaid. I don’t know what size I have but it’s great and gets the job done! I love my kitchenaid food processor… the blender on the other hand… don’t waste your $ on that one!

  in Food Processor Suggestions Comment by coconutty
• I’ve also seen recipes using cucumbers or tomatoes as the base or replacement for the oils.

  in salad dressings Comment by coconutty
• I completely 2nd what lauraj said! Great info for you to follow! I have experienced the same problems in the past and was confused because I was wondering how the heck I was having these problems when I was eating so healthy. Eating light and simple…

  in gastrointestinal distress Comment by coconutty
• jenny – yeah I agree! I don’t get it! I mean when a blender can’t even blend a smoothie and you are left with strawberry and mango chunks… time for a new one! Sorry kitchenaid, I don’t like chunky smoothies!!!

  in Need advice for blender! Comment by coconutty
• Well, my 2 cents is don’t get a kitchenaid!!! LOL! That’s what I used to have and that lead me straight to my vitamix purchase!

  in Need advice for blender! Comment by coconutty
• I agree with the above. I’ve read in some books that during the colder temps you may feel better consuming “heavier” foods. It’s supposed to help create balance during the colder months.

• Brown paper bags sound like a great idea! Watch out for those wax or parchment papers, a lot of those tend to be coated with silicone! I gave those up quite a while ago. Plastic wrap was just an idea. I don’t use it cause I have the same problem as …

  in freezer taste remedy!!! help. Comment by coconutty
• Plastic wrap! Not sure what your pie looks like, but if you lightly press the wrap right onto the surface before you freeze, no ice crystals!

  in freezer taste remedy!!! help. Comment by coconutty
• Well if you are able to use that food processor, you can try making your own nut butters! They may not turn out as creamy as a high speed blender would do, but hey, it’s a start! As for the braggs, just use some sea salt, I tend to use balsamic vine…

  in A call for subs.... Comment by coconutty
• Haaaaaa! RAWmen you crack me up! Yeah does anyone have any info out there about the outlets? I don’t have a dehydrator but have every now and then considered buying one. But I guess if there’s outlet issues, then there’s no dehydrator in my future :…

  in OMG!!ITS HUGE...... Comment by coconutty
• Are you talking sick as in stomach discomforts or head colds??? Since I’ve been raw I have yet to have a full blown head cold/sore throat, or any of that. If I feel something like that coming on I make a little blended drink of lemon, parsley, littl…

  in eating while sick? Comment by coconutty
• I agree with the removal of negative people, BUT if not… just emotionally remove yourself from the situation… learn to blow off the negative situations and focus on you… focus on how great and positive you feel! Don’t you dare let these other people…

• I know that it’s not raw… I’ve just never heard that it was related to msg!

  in Nutritional yeast Comment by coconutty
• Well that’s the first time I’ve heard this! But I’m curious. Do you mind posting the link to the articles that have stated this, thanks!

  in Nutritional yeast Comment by coconutty
• Things are going decent. I believe my problem is overworking myself. It kinda sucks, I have the will, the energy, and my body is ready to go, but at the same time my body isn’t used to working this much harder so I have to build up! And then as far …

  in Working out, need some input... Comment by coconutty
• Hmmmmm, I think I’ll have to try to get a hold of that fruitarian fitness guy!!! I eat my fruits during the day and then do the veggies at night. Somedays I just do all fruit. But I’m not a fan of trail mixes, and I try to stay away from the bars. A…

  in Working out, need some input... Comment by coconutty
• No, I always workout first thing in the AM. It just works out best for me that way, even on an empty stomach. I have no problems getting through the workout, it’s just after. I’ve never had this feeling before, and now that I’m higher raw and workin…

• Haaaaaaaaaa! (darn little hooker) That was great! Yeah, I tend to have the same problem… I can do good all day long but when it comes dinner time and I have to cook for the husband, yikes! That’s when all the cravings hit me. These stupid tortilla c…

• Hello and welcome! I just had to tell ya that I love the name, that’s great! It’s always interesting to see what kind of screen names people come up with! Oh and once you make some raw “junk food”, those Keeblers don’t stand a chance! ha ha! Good lu…

• I’ll be vote #3 for the master cleanser. I’ve done it a few times for varying lengths and it has greatly helped me to detox and make the transition to raw. I feel even more better each time I do it. And I feel great while on it as well.

  in Cleansing/fasting Comment by coconutty
• I too have heard quite the horror stories from these 2 companies. I will call myself lucky because I got my blender from them and had no problems, but that was a while ago. Got a good deal as well. But like I said, I believe myself to be lucky and w…
