• So far I’ve had a green smoothie, some chia breakfast with banana and hemp milk and a pear. First challenge came early – my parents stopped by for a visit (the usual expectation is coffee and some type of baked item – muffins, etc…). This time I was…

• I’m all ready too. Grocery list consisted of: bananas, apples, pears, grapefruits, spinach, broccoli, carrots, cabbage, cucumber, tomatoes, radishes, raw cacao, dates, figs, cashews, walnuts, brazil nuts, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, and this really…

• Thanks flybaby – that was going to be my next question also. Is all of the quinoa raw? Is it like a seed? I guess it must be if you can sprout it. I have a package of white and red combined but it doesn’t specifically say raw on the package. They do…

• Well, things are improving dramatically. I used honey for a couple of nights and now I am using EVOO around the eyes and coconut oil on the rest of my face and neck. I have stopped taking the maca and MSM for a while and have invested in a skin brus…

  in Dry skin - help please Comment by SarahJ
• You could be right. I am resistent to giving it up (maca) because it feels like happy medicine. I will play around and do a bit more research and see what happens. Thanks for the help. BTW, where do you get sweet almond oil?

  in Dry skin - help please Comment by SarahJ
• Thanks very much. I think I will try the avocado and honey tonight and see how it goes. It probably is a detox side effect – I just wondered if anyone had any magic fixes. :)

• I would much rather freeze them than waste them….so I do – freeze them that is. I can’t speak to the nutrients changing but I can say with confidence that the calories will stay the same. I hate wasting food :)

• Let’s try to keep this post going and get as much input as possible. Maybe Kandace and Ray would consider putting a few safety tips on the signup page. Izhpt, I love the picture – super cute.

• In a nutshell, some of us believe that rawclaire was dishonest about who/what he/she is. There are suspicions that he/she may have been using this site to prowl for underage users and then…..well, you get the idea. There is enough evidence to suppor…

• Jenergy, I find your forgiving nature to be beautiful and I believe that the world would be a better place if we would all relax a little bit and forgive each other for genuine mistakes and difficulties. However,.......you won’t have read the post f…

• Elizabethh, that is a good point also. I also take supplements but make peace with my conscience by making sure they are vegan and high quality.

• Good luck Girlfridae1. Pianissima and Ardesmond2 have it right – lots of greens and listen to your body. You will know soon enough whether you need to make adjustments or modifications. Don’t be shy to ask questions here. You will soon see that no t…

• Maca isn’t something that you would add to a recipe for it’s flavour – you would add it for it’s properties and work around the flavour. It isn’t entirely unpleasant but I think you need to get used to it.

• Oops, hit the save button twice. Sorry. :)

  in Being raw with missing organs Comment by SarahJ
• It sounds like smoothies are the way to go. There are some great recipes on this site. The black and green smoothie is my personal favourite. I will bet that you will notice a dramatic difference when your body is able to absorb the nutrients from t…

  in Convulsions...NOT GOOD! Comment by SarahJ
• When I eat a handful of almonds, I get the hiccups. Other nuts don’t do this to me, just almonds. At first I thought it was a coincidence but it happens EVERY time. They don’t last very long. Weird eh?

• I am a very good at cooking food – always have been….but raw, just doesn’t seem to be a natural talent yet. I have tried a couple of things on my own but I have to admit that for now, I will just stick to the recipes. You guys just seem to have it f…

• I agree with you achin70. When I bring a smoothie to work with me, I have absolutely no inclination to eat any junk. If I bring a small lunch and no smoothie, things are getting pretty tense in the late afternoon. ;). I suppose I need to get past th…

  in MSM questions Comment by SarahJ
• I won’t lie to you – it doesn’t taste good. But, just mix it with a strong juice and do it like a shooter. Follow with a pure juice chaser and you should be good. Boy, that sounds like I drink – which I don’t – used to be a bartender though. :) sgmo…

  in MSM questions Comment by SarahJ
• Wow, thanks everyone. I am really excited now about starting. I am going to start with 1 tsp (that’s 1000 mg, right?) and go from there. I already feel amazing with the changes I have made – I can’t wait to see what happens from here.
