• Fruit!!! I really like to refuel with green smoothies (with protein) after a workout. But beforehand, I just like doing it on an empty stomach or eating with bananas and dates (often during a workout), or just a grapefruit or orange before hand.

• I adore green tea and drink 2-4 mugs of it a day...I feel great when I drink it. It raises my metabolism and fights cancer...it's a bit bitter, but I got used to it...it keeps me nice and warm when I need it. www.rawroyalty.blogspot.com

• Thanks for all the feedback...I think it's good just to be aware of the calorie count in the "heavier" items in raw food...simply because I seriously can gain weight on raw food and I can even gain a lot. 1/2 cup of nuts is up to and over 200 cal. I…

• Schmoopee~ Is that a medjool date or just an average date? Thanks for the info too. Also wondering, almond flour (1 cup), how much would that be? Stevio~ Yah, it seems like a lot of raw food people either eat way too many calories (heaps of nuts, dr…

• Stevie~ My Dad had a really bad split in his skin. It was really deep and the skin around it was hard. I offered him some of my Burt’s Bees stuff and he came to me the next day with an amazed face! He showed he how fast it was healing! I don’t think…

• Troublesjustabubble~ So glad about the coconut oil…cuz that’s the one I use. I just wish it was organic…it doesn’t say…so it probably isn’t, but it’s certainly incredible quality.

• Annabelle77~ I had a friend who only washed with conditioner. How do you like it? It sounds great. Do you wash the roots or just the ends?

• Troublesjustabubble:)~ I got it at health food store…in the beauty section. Some people used vit. E to heal scars too, or tummy stretches in pregnancy (altho’ apricot kernel oil is good for that too).

• Moles that stick out can fall out, but what about the moles that are just brown spots on your skin…not raised. Is there a way to get rid of them naturally, without anything too drastic?

• Yes, a lot of people use agave nectar too. I used maple syrup for most of my cleanse, but at the end I ran out so I used raw honey. Why don’t you try buying organic cayenne pepper? This is what I did…if it’s organic and a good product, it shouldn’t…

• If I had money for a juicer, I would buy the Green Star or the Omega. Right now I use an old Hamilton Beach juicer…it’s slow, but it does work for greens and fruit. But the pulp is super wet…that is very frusterating because it’s so not economical. …

• Waterbaby, thanks! I love green smoothies, but never have tried just normal grass. Do you know any special benefits of it?

  in Greens 101 Comment by Charis
• Zoe, you use normal grass for green smoothies? I’ve never heard about that, but I’ve often wondered why. We live in the country, so I could use fresh, wild grass…what’s so good about wild grass? Is the fibre too tough (like wheatgrass) for our diges…

• Just think of a small piece of date being stuck in between your teeth, raw or not…it still will start to digest/rot (enzymes and salivia in the mouth) and it’s super sugary (natural) which will cause cavities anyway. That doesn’t sound too hot. I’m …

• The cool thing about a good blender is that you can do both…if you want to juice, but can’t afford the juicer…you can just blend up your veggies/fruits, and strain it with a nut milk bag and there you have it…fiber-less, fruit or green juice. Go wit…
