• I'm wondering about freezer recipes too, except ones that use a minimal amount of nuts. I want to stock up for winter because it's difficult to find cheap, fresh produce in Boston during the winter months.

• Yesterday I ate no fats (nuts, oil or avocados) at all. I had 2 green smoothies and I ate a lot of fruit and this morning I woke up extremely bloated. Why did this happen???

• You should try cutting out nuts completely. I find that the more nuts I eat, the more tired I feel. However, when I just have green smoothies and lots of fruit, I have so much energy! I've actually needed way less sleep lately because I don't eat an…

• My mom gave me 12 steps to being raw and thats what got me eating raw food. I love the way Victoria Boutenko writes. It's the only book on eating raw that I've ever read.

• I have noticed that my teeth are really sensitive since I've started eating raw. I don't eat a lot of citrus though so I don't know why they feel like this.

• I live on smoothies. I make them for almost every meal. They're very easy to make and it's the fastest way to get a lot of calories and feel full without consuming any fat. Mostly I make green smoothies but sometimes I make them just with fruit.

• You could make a fruit jam by combining berries and dates. I've never tried it before but it seems like it would work.

• Larabars are great for a snack. I buy boxes of them at whole foods or costco so that I always have them on hand. They're not a staple item for me but they are good for cravings or when I'm just to hungry to make a salad.
