• You infuse the oil with spinach? Or use the oil on the spinach(In which case I agree that is good)? If it's the first, how much and how long did you let it sit before using?

• Ahhh, this would explain things today. I have gotten better at making lunch for school or at least bringing a few snacky type raw items to stash in my drawer at school. Today I had a huge kale salad (with Tbsp flax oil, avocado, hemp seed and some s…

• Okra - thanks for posting that. I like miso but don't often eat it because of the soy/wheat. I had simply stopped eating it so didn't realize they had it made out of other options. Will have to check it out :)

• I kept missing the showings of this at local health/raw foods cafe(only one near me, SO happy it opened) so I finally bought it. I just watched in Friday night and it was very well done. I like how even though it did focus in on the patients with di…

• I found out this past summer that I LOVE corn and in fact it tastes so much better raw(and my GI does better with raw) than cooked corn. Sure I might love 1 piece cooked on the grill in the summer, but that usually does it and the rest I prefer raw.…

• It got bitterly cold today in CT and the heat at school wasn't working well so it never got about 68 in my room, then going outside to get home...BRRR!! I was craving warm food on the way home, then wasn't hungry for it! Tonight for me it was lots o…

• I think in this case it depends on where you are yourself, and what you beleive in and eat. For me, I have NO issue eating small amounts of raw dairy because it is one thing I do well on and the milk always helps with my GI issues. I have tried the …

• Waterbaby -you add just the dates and pepper to the greens? I'm guessing you add plenty of water then so it blends. down, right??? Hmmm, this might be something to try. Not a big sweets fan all the time, but a few dates plus greens could work. Lol, …

• If I was to do juice or smoothies the rest of the day I could be OK on only one big meal, otherwise no way my blood sugar lets me get away with that. Even raw, still better eating 5 times small than one meal for me.

• Have you ever tried chia seeds? They are high in calcium and it's easy to add some of the chia gel to smoothies, no strong taste to worry about either.

• I don't think it's all diet but how your body is functioning or absorbing it. I was not raw and did eat dairy, but a year ago I was found to be majorly deficient in Vit D and likely had been for awhile. Same with Vit B12, and I wasn't vegan! I know …

• When I want a smoothie thicker I will use frozen bananas or fruit. Chia seed is also supposed to be good, I know also that if I use blueberries and let it sick that the drink often gels up.

• If I really am craving something during PMS I'll make a smoothie with some cacao and throw in a chili pepper. I like the combo of chili and cacao and it is very warming to the body. Otherwise stay as raw/natural foods as possible definitely helps! I…

• First piece of advice is to take it slow!! Wanting to go raw is great, but if you already have an issue with the taste of raw foods I suggest you transition slowly or you may just be setting yourself up for failure. What is it that tastes so 'earthy…

• This little bit of info makes things much easier but I wouldn't have know it from the site alone(unless I happened across it by accident) without the inside hints from those that figured it out. Thanks :)

• I feel for you, I've had major IBS issues in the past and although overall much better I still really have to watch what I eat and never 100% what won't trigger my GI to revolt on me. For me it was part thryoid/medical issues but mainly diet. I do b…

• I have swithched over in the last year to a locally made goat's milk soap, which has been much better on my skin(body, not face). I use that in the shower about 2-3 times a week. About 1x a week, especially in the winter I do a coconut oil/turbinado…

• OH, I wasn't even thinking warm as in heat(I will drink herbal teas no problem) but as in what foods in themselves are "warming". I don't have a dehyrdator yet, but muffins sound interesting so thanks :)

• I haven't used mine for awhile(been blending more than juicing) but I do remember it changed with what I wasa juicing. Some gave much more juice than others, and some I got better results from in the blender than juicer if I just let it get a bit ri…

• You could mix it with some fresh/wetter ingredients for crackers perhaps. To me I find it really depends on what was in the juice. Some I add back into raw soup or dessert(good for fruit). I’m not 100% raw so I will save veggie scraps up until I get…
