• How much juice you get out of green leafy veggies really depends on the juicer you use (google centrifugal versus masticating juicers). Masticating juicers are better for that purpose. As for juicing versus blending

• Hmmm, I don't think honey is a refined product. I have myself helped a friend spinning honeycombs. They went into the centrifuge as they came from the hive and out came what we filled in bottles and ate

• I'll be excited to hear the answer to this one, too! Just can't get used to the maca flavor, and how on earth is one supposed to take the awfully bitter msm powder?

• I really like the books by Pema Chodron, a buddhist nun, but works great for non-buddhists, too (as myself). Or then the books by James Hollis, a Jungian with a more analytical take. I suggest to google for titles and the summaries in Amazon. There …

  in Are rolled oats raw? Comment by rawemotions
• I have been wondering, I noticed that my my mail-order supposedly raw rolled oates have little grooves in them while the regular store-bought ones don't - maybe there really is a way to roll oates without overheating them?

• I feel your pain. It seems pretty hard to find real raw entrees. I know in Ani Phyos book is a burger I have been wanting to make for a while. The savory meals seem to be pretty time consumin, and it seems to help to have dehydrator. As for myself, …

• Brown spots on bananas? That's when they are ripe... and if they are overripe they still make good icecream. Sorry to hear about your troubles - and yes, I am very possessive over my food, after all raw-foodism does require some planning ahead.

• No, no food particles, thankfully. As for the lemon, lately I did not add my usual lemon juice to the green smoothie, I'll do that again and see if it makes a difference. Thanks!

• I am saving up for a Hurom Slow Juicer, I have seen some really good reviews and I like that it takes up so little space. I currently have a centrifugal juicer which just does not work for leafy greens. I do not know the juicers you mention but will…

• I like spinach and all the kale varieties, even though the latter are a bit strong in taste. I have found that adding something sour (lemon juice works great, or lately fresh organic cranberries) really mellows out the "green" taste, although I have…

• I have had success with cutting jicama into the tiniest pieces - but if that does not work how about grating it on a carrot grater? I have yet to try raw winter squash, loved acorn squash cooked, must try it soon...

• frozen bananas blended with two thirds of cacao powder, one third of mesquite powder and agave or Yacon to taste. Can't get enough of it. Funny, I have always liked chocolate, but since going raw (or trying, anyway), I am just ravenous for chocolate…
