• Yes, Rainbow Chard is one of my favs!! I use kale (both dino, and curly), chard, collards, dandelion, spinach, romaine, beet greens, and sometimes bagged spring mix. I also use sprouts - broccoli, cabbage, mung, sunflower greens, alfalfa, clover...y…

• I've used it when making cheese, and it definitely makes for a more tangy/cheesy taste. So I would bet it would do really well in the cheesecake. I would think it would need to sit out a bit, before filling the crust and refrigerating/freezing, so i…

• I did a search for health master, but all I found was Jack LaLane...is that the same one? I actually ended up going with the Breville. if you end up getting (or trying out) a vitamix (or Ktech) I would love to know if you (or anyone else!) sees a si…

• Hmmm, thanks for the info. Between that, and what Amygdala said (here: http://goneraw.com/forum/ive-found-blender ), I've been tipped toward the Breville ikon Hemisphere. Like Amygdala, glass pitcher & a smooth smoothie is what's important to me…

• I'm thinking about one, partly for price, but partly because it has a glass carafe. Would love to hear from folks who have one!

• I've never like raw onions, but cooked ones I have made meals of in the past!! lol. (Onion sandwiches.) I've noticed over the past year (kind of a surprised revelation about 8 months ago) that I'm just not drawn to garlic any more. (this used to be …

• Ya know, *supposedly* lemon (which you are already using!) does the same thing in the water as the ACV, but I'll tell you, I don't tolerate it (lemon) well. Myself, I would be inclined to leave the onion out of the salad. For my body that would be t…

  in Trouble after eating salads. What's wrong? Comment by pixx
• Yep, the number of items combined *can* be an issue, depending on what's being combined. Pineapple & papaya are both good for digestion. I love pineapple on salad greens! (And smoothies.) ACV is also good for acid reflux, if you are using raw AC…

• I saw a youtube with Sergie Boutinko (not sure of the spelling) where he said you should never put anything but fruits and greens in a green smoothie, because the body will not be able to get everything it should out of the fruits and greens, if you…

  in Supplements (Maca, Spirulina, Hemp Powder) Comment by pixx
• Just a heads up on the hemp powders... Someone mentioned Nutiva brand hemp powder - they keep the hulls on, so it is a *very* gritty texture. Ruth's Hemp and Manitoba Harvest both remove the hulls, so it's less gritty / less fiber, and *more* protei…

• Stevia is green. I started using it over 25 years ago, before the white stuff came on the market. Any stevia you get that is white is an extract, and therefore processed. You can purchase whole leaf ground stevia from most places that sell loose her…

• Nutiva is awful hemp protein!! They keep the hulls on. makes it gritty. Go for the one's that don't. (Nutiva is not the only one that uses hemp.) You'll be getting less fiber, but more protein. IMHO, Manitoba Harvest is the best. I did a taste test …

• Smoothies: any fruit, mixed with any greens. Simple. I typically use a banana or two, a handful of frozen fruit (pineapple, or cherries, or mango, or whatever's on hand) and whatever greens I have on hand (chard, collards, parsley, spinach, etc). st…

• I'm with Winona on the high power blender. I have a juicer, and I use it fairly frequently. But you can do more with a good blender. 'Course, that choice could be influenced by the fact that I don't have one! My blender is a $45 Oster. I'm also with…

• Ooooh, it's nasty!! (eggplant raw) I love it cooked, though. Ah well. Giant slimy eggplant. That's funny! Abbreviations in net-lingo confuse me often. You have no idea how long it took me to figure out glamazon's use of IDK. Haha, funny, once I real…

• Awesome. I've been doing this for years, never realizing that folks out there were suggesting it! I use vinegar to clean just about anything! Counters, mirrors, bathroom, etc as well as a produce wash. I keep a sprayer in the bathroom, and another a…

• I'm in Virginia. I've asked at various farmer's markets, and fruit stands, and sometimes I'm told the produce was grown in other states. Usually just one or two over, but not what I'd call local. I've not come across any from outside the country, bu…

• I do organic when possible. But if I really want something, and organic is not available, I don't let that keep me from getting some. I do try to keep that to a minimum, though. Especially with the bad list ("dirty dozen"), I have to really really w…

• I agree with Bluedolfin; There is no wagon to fall off. There is no reason to view this as an all-or-nothing thing! Eat what you want, and move on. The more good stuff you take in, the less your body will crave the rest. In the mean time, don't beat…

  in Falling off the Wagon Comment by pixx
• There is no reason why you can't warm your foods. If you don't have a dehydrator, then use a double boiler, or a bain marie. Simply put your food into a container which can set into another container containing hot water. Stir your food often, and c…

• Thank you Kandace for this site, and for clarifying here. One poster has mentioned me as attacking. That was not my intention. My intention was to defend. I'll refrain from reacting this way here, in the future. Once again, thank you for clarifying.
