• I made this last night. The food processor didn’t blend enough, so i added a tiny bit of water and used the vitamix. I like my cheese well blended so it’s white! It was creamy, lovely, and i added spring onions too. I served in on romaine lettuce. T…

• Hi sexyraw, welcome! Tell us about yourself. What’s your exercise/activity level? How long have you been eating some raw food? What’s your BMI? (body mass index). I haven’t lost weight on raw because I’m very close to my ideal weight, perhaps it’s t…

• kandace – it would be lovely if she posted the recipes here. I think the trick is to keep the chocolates in the fridge. That’s where I store mine, so they stay nice and hard. As they warm, the chocolate melts on my fingers quickly. How cool that you…

• You can order chocolate online! Very reasonable priced, and VERY delicious (tastier than the nonraw chocolate!) It has the same consistency as unhealthy chocolate, yes. I order my chocolate here: http://www.oasis-pa.com/ I recommend the chocolate ba…

• troubles – what did you serve her cheese WITH? that’s the part i can’t ever figure out.

• bring raw food but don’t say it’s raw – great idea! very sneaky! that could totally work for pies, i bet that my mango-pineapple pie looks good for potlucks.

• heyenglish – a raw potluck sounds lovely!! When i bring raw food to a regular potluck, folks never eat it (often I take lovely fruit, watermelon is a big hit – something people recognize). One time i made a fruit salad in a watermelon – i used the w…

• saltwater pools? Nifty!! I swim in freshwater pools. Angie do you have any water around you?

  in How do I find a chlorine free pool? Comment by Winona
• southernlover – try to find a clean lake near you, if you can. i really miss doing laps in the swimming pool too – i quit going 5 months ago and it was WAYYYY harder than going raw!

• Branwyn32 – The Q-series Smoother is around $850. A refurbished vitamix was $350. The vitamix works well for me – i wish it was quieter. I had to give up my morning smoothie cause I was waking the folks in the apartment upstairs!!

• I think DebbieTook has a really interesting experiment. Check out her blog here She froze grains and tested their sprouting abilities. Freezing denatures the food, destroys some nutrients, destroys a significant percentage of enzymes. “When food or …

• B complex is helpful, as achin70 mentioned! I eat nutritional yeast that has been fortified with B complex. I seem to remember something about Bee pollen having an important nutrient?

• blech i’d rather deal with the runny nose than drink it! Gargling – I could probably do. Gargling warm salt water has helped, THAT i’ve done. Don’t swallow it though! Way too salty.

• I’m going to use this suggestion! I’m sick too. I’ll do the hot water with lemon, then let it cool a bit and add raw honey so the honey stays raw : ). I should do the netti pot, good suggestion – maybe i’ll buy one soon. till then, i think hot tea w…

• Your best bet might be to order dates online, direct from folks who grow them. Or if you buy them at the store, check with the manufacturer to determine if they are raw. I get mine in bulk from an organic food coop, so I’m guessing that they are raw…

• I agree – raw sprouted chickpea hummus is something I don’t enjoy as much. Instead, I use zucchinis to make a nice hummus. Sprouted garbanzos are best served in small portions on salad, i’ve also had them as part of an indian dish. I’d serve them wh…

  in Canned organic beans okay? Comment by Winona
• there’s folks who love raw garbanzos (soaked and sprouted of course) and folks who don’t. Try em, see what you think! They’re crunchy and nice, in my opinion. I eat 1/2 cup at a time, once in a while (whenever i bother sprouting). Branwyn – yes, can…
