• Making the raw truffles or donut holes from this site have really helped with my sweet tooth. I know it is hard at the office or somewhere that others are providing the foods you are trying to avoid. I find it is much easier at home if I just don’t …

• Lydia’s also sells sprouted/dehydrated flax seeds in a bag. So somehow they soak then dehydrate without it turning into a block or cracker… maybe it does come out in one big chunk that they then ground up? Or you could just buy theirs to put in your…

• I know what you mean…. I have eaten the sunflower seed bread before and it is thicker but crunchy. Most of the raw breads I have made have been thinner, denser, softer. I made Zoe’s bread before (my SAD eating bf LOVES it!) and last time I made it I…

• At home I have a PUR water filter pitcher and at work I use a Brita. But this brings me to a question that has recently been discussed on another post (Vitamix being toxic/toxis plastics)... is it bad to contain filtered water in plastic containers?

• The same thing has happened to me a couple of times. One time after being raw for about 2 months I went out to dinner for Thai food with friends… only ate vegan tofu dishes (same stuff I always used to eat before going raw) and at about 4 am the nex…

• Try using ground flaxseed. The flax will soak up the water and hold everything together. Sounds yummy!! Please post the recipe when you get it all figured out. I have a few cookie recipes that I am working on right now too.

• Before going raw I had already started drinking less than I used to. Rum used to be my drink of choice, and now I have been enjoying wine instead. I live in San Francisco – so close to Napa Valley, etc. – near so many good wineries that wine tasting…

• There is a really good raw chocolate recipe on this site. I have made this, chilled it, broken it in pieces and used them as chocolate chips in cookie recipes. Once in the dehydrator they will even “melt!” http://www.goneraw.com/recipes/334-Raw-Choc…

• I know of a store in San Francisco that sells them if that helps, but I don’t know if they ship from the store. You could also try Whole Foods if there is one near you.

• The first time I made nutmilk I used cheesecloth and it made such a mess!! Then the pulp had strands of the cheesecloth in it too. I have been using a small sieve/strainer (like a tea strainer but bigger) and it has been working really well. You can…

• I haven’t tried clubbing since going raw, but I have noticed an increase in my energy and postive moods. The first week I was raw, I went to the gym and ended up staying on the elliptical machine over an hour and a half – even after the machine had …

• Many years ago, I went through a “friend transition” I will call it. A group of people I considered my best friends at the time were suddenly not around and not there for me anymore. Eventually I made new friendships with less shallow people and I c…

• deasmiles – The same thing happened to me the first time I ate a big cooked vegan meal after being raw for a while…. it just confirmed why I want to stay raw! Eshne – I have heard that if you use 60% fruit and 40% greens in smoothies, that the sweet…

• Maybe adding more fats (like avocado, coconut, oils, nuts, etc.) while she is transitioning might help. As long as she eats more than just green leafy vegetables, I would think she should be ok. A friend of mine who is really really small had been u…

• I have a basil plant that I bought at Trader Joes for like $3-4. It is a potted plant, and all I have to do is water it and I always have fresh basil. I love it… it never goes bad in the fridge if I don’t use it all up either. I would like to have a…

• Linda – The parchment paper works really well for me. My dehydrator came with solid plastic “fruit leather trays” which do not work well at all. I hate them. Parchment paper works a million times better except for the fact that it is not re-usable. …

  in Vitamix a Toxic Blender ?!! Comment by Renoir
• Linda – good point about the dehydrator. My dehydrator does not fit teflex sheets so I use parchment paper instead. I wonder if that helps “block” the plastic. Another question… I know that soft plastics are bad, but is it still ok to use Nalgene bo…
