  • Lori, So sorry that you have such a serious health challenge. I wish I could help but I am a city dweller. Have you checked with Cousin's? They cater and I don't think they deliver, but they may know someone who would. http://www.cousinsiv.com/ Pam
  • I came home from work one day and my daughter who was around 10 at the time was sitting on the floor methodically paring a kiwi that she got from school. "Why didn't you ever tell me about kiwi?" she asked in an accusatory tone!
  • Well, with all due respect to our across the pond, I don't think you're missing much!
  • Miss Souffle, it took me a couple months living in London before I finally understood what a biscuit, a pudding and a spotted dick was. ;o)
  • I'm thinking you mean what we in the States call cookies. I'd like to have a crunchy cookie recipe myself. The only thing I can think of is that buckwheaties cereal turns out crunchy. You could make that recipe into cookies. There are several recipe…
  • Okay, I'll bite. You're bound to get a wide range of answers on this. The first time I went raw, I was eating 1 or 2 a day. However, I have since come to the conclusion that fat IS fat. Sure, the fat in a whole food is better than oil but it still h…
  • Sonnenhut is completely right. The problem will disappear if you are sufficiently hydrated with water. I have had this problem all my life and raw vegan does not make it go away without dirnking clear water. It's very simple.

  • I've read zinc shortage and thyroid issues and some others things I can't recall. Ann Wigmore was able to reverse her gray hair and I've heard others say they have, as well. Maybe check out one of her books. She did lots of wheatgrass juice, energy …
  • I applaud you... eating right is tough to do in college. I remember it well! I know money in college may be hard to come by, but a compact fridge at Walmart is only around $60. If you could swing it, it would make your life a bit easier. Also, have …

  • I know that BC is not close to Ontario, but I'm in Chicago and have ordered from realrawfood as well. Shipping was fast and they have the most wonderful wild almonds with that coveted cherry extract taste!
  • Nutsonline.com sells organic maca for $10.99 a pound. Their shipping is high, though (around $8 I think) so best to make sure you order other things. I also buy chia seeds, sun-dried tomatoes and some of my organic nuts and seeds from them.

  • Wow... Bikram Yoga on juice?!? I really couldn't hang! Are you going through the 27th or do you mean this Saturday? I had thought about doing another Master Cleanse through the end of the year. Juice feasting is so hard for me. Juice and green smoot…
  • Ras-saadom, I totally agree. I didn't mean that you should take vitamins.... rather, I meant that you should research what you may be missing and try to get more of it through the foods that you eat!

  • Ntombi could not have said it better. Envy right here! I'm your height but weigh more and would gain eating what you eat. And believe me, I WANT to eat more... LOL. Lucky you... my normal day's intake would cause you to wither away! All of her advic…

  • Unhulled tahini is very bitter. Hulled is not as bitter. Rawguru.com sells a hulled raw tahini that I've had and ordered from other sources as well. It isn't horribly bitter, but it still isn't what I would call tasty! Add more lemon or lime to cut …
  • Seaweed, I believe that the moderator on Alissa Cohen's board (rawfoodtalk.com) is in Olympia. Her screen name is Rawkinlocs. I don't know her but if there are raw vegans there, she would know them. I just happened to notice that she is in Olympia b…

  • Tear up head of kale in bowl. Pour on a tablespoon of olive oil, a little sea salt, the juice of one lemon, a diced tomato, and a diced avocado. Massage into the kale with your bare hands. If you like, try to get the salad onto a plate and use a for…
  • Kauaigirl, thank you, thank you, thank you for putting this out here! This is very interesting information. I read about this years ago but had all but forgotten about the copper-zinc connection. I have Graves Disease (the source of my initial hyper…
  • Sunflower greens are my absolute favorite... no raw peanutty taste. But you have to sprout them in soil, not in water. However, check out sproutpeople.com for new soiless medium. After sunflower, I go for alfalfa and clover sprouts. Sproutpeople has…

  • 1/2 cup of nuts is closer to 400 calories! (unless you mean soaked)
  • Many people feel they can eat whatever they want. About 15 years ago, I probably would have agreed with that. But now I have to watch what I eat because I gain very easily. For whatever reason you feel you need to do it, do what works for you! I agr…
  • Carrot juice turns me the color of a new penny. But I don't drink it much because carrots are such highly concentrated sugar in their juiced form. When I'm on a mock tuna kick, though, I practically glow in the dark! In smoothies, using the green ca…
  • I use about 5 or 6 large leaves of kale and/or collards, couple of romaine leaves, 2 carrots, 1/2 bunch of parsley, an inch of ginger, 1/2 to 1 apple (or pineapple), and water to desired consistency. I do it in my BlendTec. It makes a lot so I may p…
  • Thanks for this information. I woould like to say this was a "DUH" moment. But it was not. I think it is confusing because advanced search does not appear as an option UNTIL you click search with nothing in the box. The only way I would have ever di…
  • I'm not diabetic, but I am borderline (on the highest end of borderline). I have been on and off raw for the past 5 or 6 years. What I have found is that when I am NOT raw, I consistently sit on the border no matter what I do -- i.e. relatively good…
  • You're welcome. I used to make this all the time. It's what prompted me to buy a cleaver... LOL. It is amazing, isn't it?
  • I don't know whose recipe this is, but I posted it awhile ago. This is the best soup I have ever had: 1 cup coconut water
  • I hadn't made this is a long time. Not sure what I was thinking but it's very creamy even after being frozen without an ice cream freezer. It's scoopable, too, after removing from the freezer and allowing to sit on the counter for 10 minutes. No fre…
  • Hi Bluedolphin... No, there are no interesting guys, great condos or otherwise! I took a looong break from raw due to some nagging health issues. But I'm back to try again after a 30 day(!) cleanse. I really want to do this. I love the food and the …
  • Beany's right. Cascadian Farms DOES blanch their veggies for sure. Veggies must be blanched prior to freezing; otherwise they will continue to "ripen" and turn dark when frozen. On the other hand, this doesn't happen with fruit. The Cascadian Farms …
