• That’s funny, I just posted what I grow on another post! I live in Utah, so no mandarins :( I have grown tomatoes, corn (one of the few things my son likes raw!), tomatillos, peas, zucchini, yellow squash, watermelon, beets, carrots, radishes, onion…

• I know that fresh ginger juice & ginger tea help soothe upset tummies, but I don’t know if that is just more for the flu? B.R.A.T. diet is what is recommended for people with upset tummies: Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, Toast. Of course, omit the c…

• If you put them in the freezer first, it will help more of the coating stick to them – just be sure to get them quickly out of the chocolate mixture. Agave keeps the chocolate from setting as stiff, depending on how much you use. With raisins, you m…

• I think it just goes back to the fact that we are all different. Why are there a million books/diet plans out there? Because they work. But that doesn’t mean that they all work the same for everyone. I know someone who told me about how her mother-i…

• Do whatever works. I mean that the best way to juice is the one that you will do, so just make a decision & go for it! I want green juices & nothing else right now, but I don’t have the money to buy enough produce for a gallon or more of jui…

• I hear that a lot about fat, & there are a lot of authors who say it. But I don’t KNOW that WE should limit our fat intake. Keep reading; I am not being rude. :) What I do know is that we each need different things. I lost 40 pounds in three mon…

• I heard that chlorophyll under the skin (eating greens & drinking their juices, taking spirulina & chlorella, etc.) is sun-protective.

• UPDATE: I just called to find out why my almond butter hadn’t come yet, & the lady said she had been trying to order it, but it hadn’t gone through. I told her not to order it (it was a whole case!) and now I have $220 more than I thought, to sp…

• Wow, flax seed for 69 cents a pound! It is over a dollar here, but I do have a big bag that I ordered in bulk, & it was a better deal – I don’t remember the cost. I can’t eat sweet potatoes for now, but maybe I’ll grow some this summer – is that…

• I think I just need greens like CRAZY right now, so I’m glad I can focus on them. I put a little spirulina powder in my green juice today, & I guess that will help with the green stuff.

• 123 – Thanks for the ideas! I have been eating zucchini pasta every day for a week or more, but I eat two for a meal & then maybe something else after that. :) I haven’t tried pesto, though, & I hadn’t thought of alfredo with the pizza sauce…

• Carmentina – I live in Utah. None of that stuff is growing yet, & definitely no lemon trees! I have done partial-day water fasts a few times in the last couple of months – good idea! I still don’t do well with them for even a whole day, though. …

• Oh, sorry! I realized I should soon have lots of almond butter – I ordered it a while back. I’ll edit the list AGAIN :) mham, I like to usually just drink Kangen water, and I have some of that prepaid at an herb store here. I juiced a ton of vegetab…

• Almonds are slightly alkalizing, so I guess I’ll stick with almond butter & milk over other nuts for now, I guess – funny, because that is the only nut butter I have even thought sounds good.

• Oh, yeah. shgadwa, there is only one place I know of to get raw oats (oat groats are not raw). It is http://www.sunorganic.com and you have to order the hulled oats for sprouting & not the oat groats. Good luck transitioning to more raw! :)

• deborahann – I soooo want to go on a juice feast! I can’t afford it right now, but in the summer I am planning to grow lots of kale & cucumbers to juice, & then I should be able to afford it. How long is your juice feast? I drank a half-gall…
