  in Why do people eat so many dates, cashews, dehydrated foods? Comment by KristensRaw
• It truly changes all the time for me. One thing I make sure to do on a daily basis is either having 1 quart of fresh green juice (I call it Plant Blood) or a quart of green smoothie (or both!) and I typically snack on plain fruit or veggies. The res…

  in Dehydrating Soaked Cashews Comment by KristensRaw
• If you’re soaking cashews to remove enzyme inhibitors, you probably don’t need to do that since most brands are heated to some degree when removing the shells anyway. There are some sources for “really” raw cashews that are hand shelled and you coul…

• I like what sweetpea has to say about enjoying some cooked food there (although I’d stay strictly vegan if it were me). When I went to Bora Bora I packed green powder, packaged bars, and packaged hemp seeds in my suitcase to facilitate my stay. Che…

• Try this journey in smaller steps. You can try to focus on High Raw but try to stay all vegan (HRAV – High Raw, All Vegan). There are plenty of options with this lifestyle because you’re still having some cooked vegan food (keeping it low fat will …

• A good place is www.sunorganic.com. They have fantastic service. The more you buy in weight, the cheaper the price is, which is great for things like nuts, seeds and dehydrated fruits because they have a long shelf life… especially when you store th…

• Tea leaves are not usually Raw. Furthermore, if you use hot water, then no, it is not Raw. A better alternative is to make sun tea by placing water in a jar, adding fresh herbs and letting the sun brew it. However, if you don’t have time to make th…

• If you’re not straining it out, then all of the calories transfer if you drink the entire blender full of milk. However, if you don’t drink the whole blender full, then the calories become diluted because of the water. You need to calculate the amo…

• I’m a huge fan of hemp food products for protein and essential fatty acids. I put the powder in smoothies, make nut milks from the seeds, and use the oil on my salads. It’s wonderful stuff :) Cheers, Kristen www.KristensRaw.com www.KristensRaw.blogs…

  in I need more calories and protein!! Comment by KristensRaw
• Yes, there is protein in fruits and vegetables, but for people wanting extra protein, I’d recommend hemp protein powder (it’s a complete protein and rocks the house) as well as lots of leafy greens which can both be taken in the form of green smooth…
