• I don’t recall their Nacho Sauce being in their beautiful book Vegan World Fusion Cuisine. That particular book is mostly cooked vegan food with a handful of Raw recipes in it. Still worth it because it’s soooooo beautiful. I’ll take a peak and see …

• Two things: Salt Fresh Herbs A little Himalayan crystal salt (or basic celtic sea salt) – if your friend can have a pinch – will make smoothies taste better without fruit. AND fresh herbs in the “non-sweet” or “veggie” smoothies will make them real…

• I highly highly recommend Excalibur. They have a great warranty, excellent customer service and a superb reputation. Put it this way, you definitely cannot go wrong with Excalibur. I agree with Raw lady to get the biggest you can afford because you …

• Keep in mind you might have to turn it on and off (as you monitor it) if your lowest setting is still too hot. Kristen Suzanne

• As for how much I tell people…I answer questions when I asked. When going to someone else’s party, I’ve often just told them I’ll bring something for myself so I don’t put anyone out. I typically bring enough to share in case someone wants to try it…

• I’ve had coconuts in green smoothies taste “soapy” a short while after making them, but the water had tasted fine before I mixed them. I’m not sure why…I’ll do a little digging and see if I can come up with something and report back :) Kristen Suza…

• Flax meal is healthier for your than whole flax seeds. Your body has a hard time digesting flax seeds when they’re whole but when ground to a powder, it’s much easier to assimilate the nutrients. Soaked sunflower seeds can take up to 12 hours to dr…

• I always buy mine from Whole Foods and Wild Oats. They are white with a pointed top and a flat bottom (sometimes referred to as young thai coconuts or young coconuts). To break it open, turn it on it’s side, shave off (with a knife) some of the husk…

• Your smoothie will be fine…even for a few days. My advice is to store it in glass containers, filled as close to the top as possible to minimize the oxygen in it. Yes, just shake that yummy smoothie up before drinking. Some flavors get stronger day…

• I use the Matfer Mandoline (I think it’s the 2000S), made in France. It’s terrific, slices very thin and I feel very safe using it. Easy to clean, too. Kristen Suzanne

• I’m a fan of vitamix, but I prefer the Blend tec over the vitamix (I have them both). To me the Blendtec is easier to clean and just as powerful. Greenstar is by far the best juicer in my opinion. I like that it also does wheatgrass. Hope this help…

• You can also use your food processor to make soups and it limits the amount of air being whipped into it. Speaking of soups, I just posted a great new raw soup recipe on my blog. Check it out. Easy and super delicious. Perfect for the Fall Season. C…

• Yes, I agree, it can vary by person. Exercise is one of the keys to accelerating the weight loss. For peole with a lot to lose, they lose more pounds, on average, than say someone who wants to lose 10 pounds. Water is a lot of the weight that is los…

• “Madhava” Raw Agave, available on amazon claims it’s produced at temps below 115 degrees. Get the bottle from them that states Raw on it because they produce both kinds (Raw and Not Raw). Inexpensive if you buy 12 bottles at once on amazon….and it h…

• It’s still easy to eat Raw while avoiding a lot of nuts. You just need to eat tons of fresh fruit and veggies. Make salad dressings with avocado and citrus for example, instead of nuts. Or use olive oil. Of course, you don’t “as” much variety, but y…

• I always just pack enough to eat on the plane. If I have room in my carry on, I include a little bamboo bowl to use, too. Apple, orange, banana…things like that. Sometimes I pack a Raw Crunch Bar (I love those….if you haven’t tried them…..oh my gosh…

• I like Rawvolution, too, but a lot of the items were too salty for me. His recipes use a lot of namo shoyu. I agree though that it’s great to have this as a treat sometimes where you don’t have to prepare the food. Even if it’s salty for me, it’s st…

• Slice them very thin, and let them dehydrate a long time…could be longer than 24 hours, if in a humid climate. Even so…I find they’re a cross between crispy and chewy. Still yummy though :) Chef Kristen Suzanne

• There is no doubt that the more Raw you become, the more sensitive your whole body in general becomes. It just goes to show you how tolerant your body used to be to unhealthy food. Once your body gets a good cleaning, it tries to steer you away from…

• Hi :) I think it’s hard for most people to go 100% mostly because of detox issues. It worked much better for me to completely eliminate all cooked food for just one to two days a week, initially. My ultimate goal in the long run was to eat 100% Raw …

• I don’t do much with superfoods because I never really noticed a difference when I took them in the past. If I use anything like goji berries or raw chocolate, it’s because I’m looking for the flavor/texture, rather than using it for “superfood” pur…

• I think you can eat Raw fat and still lose weight (especially depending on where you start and what your old diet used to look like). However, you can accelerate the fat loss by reducing the fat intake…no doubt. There are a lot of people who feel ev…
