• ooo congrats. if you come up with fabulous recipes, or have any fave dehydrator treats, start a thread! (my dehydrator things dont always come out fantastic – hopefully you’ll be good inspiration to try some things)

• This sounds fabulous. I want to talk more about green smoothies and fruit/ leafy green combinations. I loved Victoria Boutenko’s book – 12 steps to raw food, i think – it’s similar to her other book, green for life. that’s all I’ve read so far.

• Ah yes, mangoes make an excellent base. The pineapple is a good complement to the mangoes and papaya.

• I’d say nut milk or orange juice is a good base for smoothies. If you have a vitamix, try grinding fresh coconut into coconut milk. Or if no vitamix, for a creamier smoothie, add a tablespoon of raw nut butter. I think avocados + fruit is a better p…

• I’m so cold as of going raw. It’s good to know that it could be related to the diet. Ah, circulation will improve, good.

• Phew… 800 calories? That doesn’t sound like much. I’m 5’6” and 134 pounds, exercise 30 min x 3 days/week, and I eat around 1,600 calories a day- 80% veg/fruit (without weight gain)

• psyllium husk has worked wonders for me. i bought it in bulk at my local coop – it’s a plant, not a colon cleansing product, so it’s all good.

• Nicci – I know what you mean! I hate being around cooked food – especially meat, as I love animals so much. Although I’d like to be more accepting, it’s not easy to be around cooked food all day every day. Yikes! Maybe you can leave the house on day…

• I went 100% raw (2+weeks) and I’ve been able to digest everything for the past 2 weeks. I couldn’t digest anything for 7+ years before this… I thought I had an impossible stomach, or gluten intolerant, or just allergic to… everything? But no, i just…

• Almond carrot pate! The almond peels come right off if you soak the nuts for 24 hours. You don’t need to peel them – your almond milk might have little bits of color, since you’re not straining it in the nut milk bag. It’s not a problem tho – i alwa…

  in What to do with leftovers from almond milk ? Comment by Winona
• I was very entertained by this thread. An example that came to mind is Victoria Boutenko’s children, who attended college early – she attributes this to the high raw diet. Imagine how well we would have done in school/life if we ate high raw as chil…
