• I go through lots of coconuts, lots of bad ones, but when I get good ones, boy are they good! I agree with the above statement… if the water tastes bad, toss the whole thing (or bring it back to the store)! As far as how long coconut lasts in the fi…

• What if you did the bbq-y sauce and used diced zucchini for the beans??? Then give it a good while in the dehydrator or oven to warm it through. Sounds good to me, I think I’ll have to give it a whirl :-)

• I don’t know that you would call it being psychic, but I’ve been able to pick up on other’s emotions (or vibes) like crazy lately, just by being near. And that’s after tightening up on my raw food intake. It’s really weird, and sometimes I don’t lik…

• I think there’s way too many raw fooders out there that feel the need to say they are “this percentage” raw. I agree, there is no need to label. I don’t understand why all of that got started anyway… maybe for some people to feel that they are bette…

• I prefer blending. The only time I juice is to juice citrus… and that juice usually gets added to a smoothie with other whole fruits. I like to make creamy citrus smoothies so I’ll often blend 1 or 2 oranges (or grapefruits) and then add the juice o…

• Well, food processors can do everything that a standard blender can do if not better. And they work perfect for hummus! I used to make hummus in my food processor all the time and it came out wonderful. So if you are looking to spend under $100 look…

• LOL! I refuse to be a victim of second-hand smoke! Well, I have yet to run into a smoking blender, I have 2 (cheap and expensive). But I’m fairly newer to raw, and I go through blending phases. Sometimes I blend alot sometimes I don’t. BUT since I’m…

• The best advice ever… Eat what makes you feel good, and what feels right for you :) I’ve heard many people say to stay away from bananas, but then I’ve also heard people say that they eat 8 or so bananas by lunchtime! I love bananas. They fill you u…

• Well… I guess it all depends on what your mind set is. I really do believe you have to have the mind power to do it. If you do, then it’s a piece of cake (sort of!) My first time I did it, it was kinda out of curiousity, and deep down I knew that I …
