• I do realize that fat & fruits are looked upon as not good food combining. I will point out, though, that even Frederic Patenaude (who I think is a Natural Hygienist) claims that a few nuts or seeds in a green smoothie is not enough to be proble…

• Hmm, that's a shame, Territa, that you get a stomach ache from nutmylk and kale together. I use *several* whole leaves in my smoothie with no problem. My nutmylks vary every time (as do the greens and fruit used for the smoothie itself). Sometimes i…

• I can't stand apple with greens, but have found carrots or beets go really well with greens (in the juicer). For a smoothie, I toss whatever fruit (frozen or fresh) that I have on hand into the blender. Add in a bit of nutmylk. I always try to have …

• How cool for you! :~) I like Ani Phyo's first book, too. I don't have the dessert one yet, but considering it. My mouth waters every time more folks talk about it here!! LOL.

• I don't know, really- they don't even taste like the same fruit to me, once dried. I simply didn't care for them at all! Reminded me of fig newton cookies, which I never liked, either! :P

• emtpdmom~ I love figs too-- but am not fond of them dried. Last year I froze them up (cut in half), and used them all winter in smoothies, and ice-cream bases. Some I simply ate frozen. I plan on buying much more of them this year, so I will have mo…

• My personal experience with coconut oil: When I get an acne breakout, I put coconut oil on it, and it goes away *much* faster than without. (Even faster than a prescription I used to use for decades.) I have never had it cause acne. I, personally, h…

• Thanks for the info, waterbaby! Scary not knowing what's up- do you have any idea what regulations they were referring to?

• You're welcome! I think the Marconas are marvelous! I'm kind of lazy about making nutmylk- I don't bother straining. I stopped using regular almonds a while back, because you almost *have* to strain them! I started using other nuts like walnut, braz…

• Trader Joe's sells raw Valencia almonds, and Nutsonline.com carries raw Marcona almonds. The Marconas make the BEST nutmylk!

• All California almonds are now pasteurized. It's a law now. Non organic are treated with a chemical, organic are flash heated. Some folks are claiming that the flash heated ones are still viable. I suppose you could try sprouting a few, and see if t…

• Some folks have experienced teeth & gum issues, others have experienced blood sugar issues, still others have no issue at all. "Too much" is all relative; activity level, what else is being eaten, etc. High fiber fruits, or adding more fiber- su…

• Perhaps you've seen dinosaur kale by it's other name: Lacinato Kale (that's the name a local store sells it under). I've tried collards and wasn't fond of it, but you may feel differently.

  in Almond Butter and Kale Chips? Comment by pixx
• Sounds really good to me! Just mix your chosen ingredients into a texture of a salad dressing; thick but pourable. Taste it before putting on the kale, though, to make sure you like it, and bear in mind that the salt taste will get stronger when it …

• noelleloveshoney~ I believe purchased frozen spinach has been cooked, before freezing. You my want to consider getting spinach fresh, rather than frozen.

  in Needing Help With Green Smoothie!! Comment by pixx
• Banana and cherries, with any greens, and a bit of nutmylk. You can add in carob or cacao if you like. It's the only one I have gotten my BF to try! The color of the cherries, combined with carob, make the whole thing brown, so it not only masks the…

• I would highly recommend against eating the same thing every day. The body needs variety, to make sure you are getting all the nutrients you need, as well as make sure you are not getting too much of anything. I would recommend using this site http:…

• I use wet soaked (and sprouted) wheat and rye for crackers. I would think that buckwheat wouldn't be much different, but as Nancy mentioned it may take longer to dry, from what you've been used to. Or maybe you could try adding less (or none!) liqui…

• I am not sure, unfortunately. I have heard that mature coconut water is supposedly bitter compared to water from a young coconut. I have only opened one recently (as an adult. We played with them when we were kids, but I don't remember much about ta…

• kellycalkins~ I never saw them either, until I knew what I was looking for! :~) Now, I have found them in a few places. I'm not entirely sure if they are newly there, or if I just never noticed them before. :P As for blacks, and purples- Don't forge…

• I've seen many ways to open a young Thai coconut. Many seem a bit scary/dangerous to me! This one is the *easiest* I have ever seen, and it is how I do it now. Plus, the vid will show you what it looks like too, so you can find one easier!

• http://sproutpeople.com They have lots of sprouting information on their site. Yes, they sell seeds, but you do *not* have to buy, to read the free information.

• I have the Tropical Traditions Gold Label brand of oil, and coconut cream (butter) in my cabinet right now. I have also tried Nutiva, and Jungle Products brands of oil, as well as Spectrum. I have enjoyed all but the Spectrum, which was just gross. …
