  • I simply blend my ice cream mixture using a blender and then I pour it into a shallow glass baking dish (I use an 8X8 or 9X13). Cover it with saran wrap and freeze (or you can freeze it in a shallow tupper ware type container that has an air tight l…
    in Making AND FREEZING raw ICE CREAM?? Comment by KristensRaw
  • Hemp powder is great, as well as the seeds. Keep in mind, you probably won’t need as much protein if you’re getting it in the Raw form versus the cooked form. I agree with Kathryn too…green powders (including spirulina) are great. Cheers! Kristen …

  • Green smoothies have changed so many lives. I love them – all kinds. Sometimes I like them extra fruity and sometimes I make them hardcore green. I sneak them into the movie theaters, too! Cheers! Kristen Suzanne www.KristensRaw.com www.KristensR…

  • GreenStar all the way. It’s powerful, gets all the juice out so there is nothing to waste AND it juices wheatgrass! Cheers! Kristen Suzanne

  • Hi :) The fiber does impede the true cleansing that you’re trying to achieve with a juice feast. However, some people like doing green smoothie feasts and those have wonderful aspects as well. It depends on your goals. For ultimate cleansing and re…
    in Green smoothie fast? Comment by KristensRaw
  • I am a big fan of green smoothie fasts. Another option is to check out this great site for Juice Feasting (not fasting, but feasting)! I’m starting a 21-day Juice Feast on Valentine’s Day. So many people are doing this and loving it! In fact, I thin…

  • You could eat Raw chocolate :) Or…I find that simply increasing my intake with a variety of greens (whether by juicing or green smoothies) greatly helps any cravings. Cheers! Kristen Suzanne
    in juicing to curb cravings Comment by KristensRaw
  • Adding lime and lemon to juices and smoothies is delicious! You can also juice the limes/lemons and then freeze the juice in an ice cube tray. Pop out after 24 hours and store in a glass mason jar in your freezer. Cheers! Kristen Suzanne
    in what to do with extra limes/juicing Comment by KristensRaw
  • I have responded to cooked vegan food differently at different times during my Raw lifestyle. At times I was gassy and bloated and other times I tolerated it fine. My body has changed over time, reacts differently as a result of lifestyle changes an…

  • I have them both and I always go to use my Blendtec first. I love it! I have no problem popping off the lid carefully while the mixture is blending to add ingredients. And the little plug on top, does come off to pour oil or other ingredients in as …

  • I have frozen my carrot pulp (using a FoodSaver to suck out all the air possible) and then used it in carrot cake cookies and carrot crackers at a later date. It worked great. Cheers! Kristen Suzanne

  • Here are some basic rules of thumb to follow: Breads…depends on how “dry” they are. If you get them pretty crispy then there is no water in them so they can last in the refrigerator for a couple of months or in the freezer for 6-10 months (depends …

  • I’m a big fan of the Rave Diet and their DVD Eating as well. You could also check out Dr. Gabriel Cousens’ book Rainbow Food or his website http://www.treeoflife.nu. Best of luck, Kristen Suzanne

  • That’s soooo great. Congrats and cheers to your juicy health :) I love granny smith apples in my juice for fun tartness. Happy New Year!
    in I got a juicer for Xmas..yay! Comment by KristensRaw
  • I LOVE READING!!! “The China Study” is one of the best books discussing the importance of a plant-based diet. I’m also a fan of anything by John Robbins. Oh, and the book “Skinny Bitch” is hilarious, sassy and full of wit. “Excuse Me Your Life Is …

  • No, you just put them in the food processor dry. If you soak them, they will only last about a week. Grind them dry. Or, you can soak and then dehydrate them and then grind them.
    in Homemade tahini anyone? Is there a recipe out there to make homemade Tahini? Comment by KristensRaw
  • Just process in a food processor (the plain seeds) until it becomes a paste. It could take 5-10 minutes so you might have to stop a few times, scrape down the sides and make sure it doesn’t get too warm. Some people add a little olive oil to help ge…

  • Fat (like blending in some avocado or olive oil) will help tone it down. Happy New Year! Kristen’s Raw

  • That’s cool, Greenie :) Have a great weekend!
    in Tiramisu I miss U! Comment by KristensRaw
  • I appreciate that we all want as many great recipes as possible, but as an author, I think it’s nice and important to support businesses who are promoting the Raw lifestyle…that is, “buying Cafe Gratitude’s book” and not just posting the recipe with…

  • There is a recipe in the Raw Food book put out by Cafe Gratitude, I Am Grateful, available on Amazon.com here: http://www.amazon.com/Am-Grateful-Recipes-Lifes…=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1199362374&sr=8-1 I’ve never made it, but I’…

  • Chia seeds are great for replacing flax seeds since they get the same “gelatinous” texture when soaked. You can replace using the same amount. Chia, like flax, don’t need to be sprouted, you just soak them to get the gelatinous texture, or you grind…

  • Hi Lilu, Congrats on pursuing Raw. My life has changed since doing so myself. I feel better than ever :) It’s no secret that most people could stand to add more fresh, whole fruits and veggies to our diets. With Raw as its own cuisine nowadays, it’…

    in Raw vegan protein powder shakes Comment by KristensRaw
  • I am a fan of the Raw Power myself. If I’m not mistaken, you can get a deal for buying multiple containers from David Wolfe’s site. Doesn’t hurt to ask, right? Depending on how quickly you go through it, (I imagine it’ll “keep” for a while, especial…
