• i would make raw ice creams (you can do some nut free ones), grind your own tahini, and make warm soups and sauces. i heart my vitamix- tax rebate money well spent. i also make juice with it (blend fruit and greens, then strain through nut mylk bag)…

• Try flax oil, or ground flax too. Its an estrogenic seed so it should help add a bit of natural plant estrogen to your diet. Also try adding a spoonful of raw maca to your morning smoothie. Its great for helping with your hormones. What are your iro…

• Ive heard portland is the most vegan friendly place in the US. I live in cleveland- I dont recommend it. You tell someone 'Im vegan' and they respond, 'how did you catch that?'

• can you eat any seeds? These may be the best way to get lots of calories in. With any nut recipe i usually use sunflower seeds in place of cashews. An awesome snack is to open up a mejdool date, remove pit, spoon in a bit of tahini, close and nom no…

• most things are edible raw its just some people have a problem with them. steaming cruciferous veg, like borccoli and kale can make it easier to digest. you can also marinate them for a similar effect. mushrooms can be eaten raw although the bother …

• well does the nut ever go above 118 degrees? Still sounds fairly raw to me. You have to steam the shell to get the nut out. So maybe thats as raw as a cashew can get?

• you could just go high raw- pick and choose some cooked vegan foods to serve with the raw. i.e. make cooked brown rice and top it with loads of fresh veg, drizzle a bit of raw sauce on top- the rice will warm the veg but not enough to really damage …

• chia seeds do rock for your muscles. Congrats on the race!! well done! I like a green smoothie before i run, and i usually make fresh juice to drink after (apple/celery) and eat bananas after too. I second the book Thrive- its really great!
