  • My first choice is Blendtec and my second choice is Vitamix. I have both of these and I always use my Blendtec first. It
  • There is always the option to order Organic produce and have it shipped to you. There are some great sites that offer this: www.BoxedGreens.com or www.DiamondOrganics.com. It’s not the cheapest but it’s super fresh and delicious. I have used both of…

  • Mango is lovely in smoothies because it’s creamy and sweet. I’m a big fan of mango and spinach…simple and delicious. Cheers! Kristen Suzanne www.KristensRaw.com www.KristensRaw.blogspot.com
  • Hi RawVoice Mine is white, but I’m sure any model of theirs would work (double check on their website). Also, you should get the mason jar attachment so you can store things vacuum sealed in glass (and avoid the plastic in most cases). This you can…
  • Use a Food Saver with the mason jar attachment and prolong the life of your Raw foods. It’s awesome. I wrote about it on my blog here: http://kristensraw.blogspot.com/2007/09/food-sa… Cheers! Kristen Suzanne
  • That’s very cool Kminty3. He just might end up feeling so great from Raw then when he goes back it might not feel so good…..turning him back to Raw :) Cheers! Kristen Suzanne

  • No, living the Raw lifestyle does not have to be expensive. In the beginning stages, it can seem expensive, but in the long run it is not. I like to tell clients to keep the following in mind: 1. When you are new to Raw, you’re trying a lot of new r…
  • I have many clients who have gotten off their blood pressure and cholesterol meds from going Raw. Someone just wrote into my blog the other day about how she is off hers. Please make sure your mom’s doctor knows because her meds might be too much n…
  • Deglet Noor dates are not quite as sweet (or moist) as medjool, but I’m sure they’ll taste good. You might consider a light soak or rinsing to moisten them up a bit. I understand that soaking medjool dates can make the brownies too “wet” but the deg…
  • Medjool dates have a nice deep richness to them, but I’m sure your brownies will be delicious with any variety. Which ones did you get? Kristen Suzanne
  • You do “not” have to soak hemp seeds. Just munch away “as is.” Enjoy! Kristen Suzanne
  • I second the vote for hemp seeds. They rock! According to www.NaturalZing.com... Benefits: Perfect ratio of Omega 3 & 6 Essential Fatty Acids including 2-4% GLA Antioxidants: Chlorophyll & vitamin E *Gluten and enzyme inhibitor FREE Kriste…
  • Check out South River Miso link I gave above…they have a variety of different miso. I bought one last year from them that was made with red bell peppers. I don’t see it on there now, but I see it in a catalog. You might want to call them and ask abo…
  • Miso soup (not “raw,” but it is “living”...with healthy, beneficial digestive enzymes) is very warming. If you want to stay all raw, then just add things like cayenne, hot peppers, ginger, garlic, etc to your foods. Or, use your dehydrator to warm …
  • I have used the AeroGrow AeroGarden for herbs. It’s easy, straightforward, uncomplicated and requires very little effort on your part. Warning: This operates using a bright light part of the time, so don’t put it anywhere that you’re trying to keep …
  • @ Willmize….Does the Oster Beehive do well with ice in your smoothies? My friend needs a blender and doesn’t want to spend over $75. Thanks!

  • Congrats on your juice feast and keep us posted with what you’re juicing and how you’re feeling. I’m sure we’d love to hear :) Cheers! Kristen Suzanne

  • I empathize and understand your compassion for giving a dog vegan food so animals aren’t slaughtered/harmed for your dog. I have heard of others battling the same issue. Then they thought to themselves…what about harming the dog by not letting him e…
  • That is one of my favorite books. Kristen Suzanne
  • I’m not sure how effective these are, but you could look into http://rawlivingfoods.typepad.com/1/education_a… I realize it’s a home study program, but it might be a nice place to start. Good luck! Chef Kristen Suzanne  
  • I think keeping the cooked food “low-fat vegan” is the best option when eating cooked food. My body tolerates different foods differently, at different time periods. There was a time when I was 100% Raw for a long while and then I had some cooked v…

  • I usually recommend E-3 Live to people. http://e3live.com/e3enzymes.htm Cheers!

  • Anyone know anything about Hawaii? I know Kauai has Blossoming Lotus Restaurant there. That would be beautiful! I’m in Scottsdale, Arizona which is gorgeous, amazing weather, beautiful mountains. Sedona is about two hours from me with two restauran…
  • In addition to the other suggestions…DRESS WARMER! Miso soup is lovely to warm you up, too. Not Raw, but it’s living and excellent for digestion.  
  • I think the most delicious form of a homemade larabar is eating fresh dates with pecans or walnuts. This way you can use soaked or soaked/dehydrated nuts to make sure they’re germinated. You can have all of your ingredients organic and uber fresh. …
  • Hi Moth, I like both Cuisinart and KitchenAid. I like the 11-cup or larger if possible. Cheers!
  • 1) I use my MAC knife the most! Chopping all those veggies has never been so fun as when you’re doing it with a beautiful, sharp knife. 2) I use my Blendtec blender next. 3) While I definitely love and use my food processor a lot, I actually use m…
  • Fruit.

  • Bananas for breakfast. Oranges for snack. Watermelon for lunch. Oranges for another snack. “Perfect Salad” for dinner alongside a cup of warm miso soup and a small piece of my Spicy Raw Corn Bread. Raw German Chocolate Brownies for dessert…YUM!…
