• i go to farmer's markets in the summer/fall and buy their produce, but during the winter, i don't buy organic. it's just too expensive since i eat so many fruit and veggies.

• i eat around 10 a day sometimes and they must be ripe!!! if they even have a touch of green on them, i won't use them. i rarely eat bananas on their own so i like them with a lot of brown spots beause they taste so sweet in smoothies.

• i used to only need about 7-8 hours pre-raw but now i usually sleep 10-11 hours. that's when i don't need to wake up for anything. if i have to go to school, i get about 5-6 hours.

• I think green smoothies are good post-work out foods. I eat when I'm hungry so if I'm hungry a little before bed, I usually have an apple. They take a little while to eat so I get tired while eating it.
