• It’s okay, you don’t need to post it. I wouldn’t want copyright violations : ) Angie – I’ll own Ani’s raw food kitchen soon, and can send it to you privately then. Does that work instead? I also love Zoe’s cheese with spring onions. mmm!

• You’re welcome! Beware of any bad reactions to the oat groats… I had tummy prob’s related to those things. Chia seeds are wonderful! Use sweetener almond milk, you could even blend berries into the almond milk then pour it over the chia. It’s my fav…

• I love cereal as well. I make mine with chia seeds and almond milk (they absorb water to become like porridge!) Unfortunately those oats you ate weren’t raw, unless you ordered the oats online from a raw food website. All oat groats are steamed to k…

• I’d say just run it for a minute, then stop for a couple minutes to let it cool. Then run it again, and stop.

• omg thank you for telling me this! my hair was breaking so much recently and I got all these short fly-aways. i was using a brush, not a comb. doing it all wrong. very very good to know… i will wait till it’s dry to brush.

• why don’t you brush your hair when wet, southernlover? does your hair break easily or what? I don’t shampoo/condition either, so i’m curious.

• I use lemon instead of ACV. ACV does smell a bit strong, agreed. Lemon works beautifully! Use the juice of 1/2 a lemon 1-2 times a week, pour it on dry hair and wait 10 minutes then rinse. nuttgirl – try going no poo! it’s FANTASTIC. my hair has nev…

• Wash your hair 1-2 times a day with water.. really get in there with your fingers and scrub. once a week i apply 1 lemon juice (fresh) to my scalp, leave it for 10 min, and rinse (it doesn’t sting at all – it’s gentle) it removes the grease. DONE! t…

• This happened to me when i first went raw. You could have another problem – it’s important to seek medical attention if you feel the problem is serious. I don’t know what foods improve circulation – perhaps there’s information online at some medical…

• They usually are interchangeable. Oat groats are never raw unless purchased from a raw food website – they’re always steamed to keep out worms. So use buckwheat. It depends on the recipe sometimes – if you’re trying to make oatmeal, buckwheat won’t …
