  • I just read this coincidentally when I was googling durian (which I have never had. When is it in season???) Hope this info is helpful. It was on the following website: froststreet.net/archives/ingredients/ “As a post-script, I later learned that du…

  • ANGELSFEET- Don’t forget about Fairway. Just to warn you though, their organic mangoes have been awful for the past few weeks. I have had to juice them or toss them…either way not the best bang for the buck, ya know? Headache better? Hope so!

  • ANGEL - I made the mistake of going last Saturday and they were out of everything (dino kale, cilantro, etc.) organic that I needed. I am now a dedicated Sunday shopper. With 2 shin-digs to do, what are you doing talking with us? LOL! Have fun!

  • ANGELSFEET - Have you shopped in Fairway? There is one near 125th Street right along the Hudson and another (location? Bowery I am thinking) in the city. I find their organic stuff to be less expensive then most and there is a great selection. Of co…
    in raw on a budget Comment by Hippie Chick
  • I hope not because mine has been in my lunch bag for months! Remember that you can dilute it if it is too strong for you. I bought mine in the spray bottle. The salt breaks down fibers a bit and makes salads such as kale salad a lot easier to get th…

  • I use Braggs when something I made needs a bit more of something. The first few days it is amazing on everything and then it gets repetative. I would recommend storing it in a glass bottle although I have a small one in a spray bottle for salads. BT…

  • I just did a big handful of kale, a few little tomatoes, 2 sundried tomatoes, a piece of English cucumber, 1 1/2 of a whole lemon…skin and all, some nutrititional yeast and a bit of salt with 2 cups of filtered waer and it was yummy. I never liked t…

    in deveining kale? Help! Comment by Hippie Chick
  • Not stupid! No worries. I generally leave the vein but here is how you do it: Turn the leaf over. Where the vein starts getting thick (this is in tv middle of the back of the leaf)slide your knife so it scoots under the vein and run it along down …
    in deveining kale? Help! Comment by Hippie Chick
  • I think that a page with explanations of commonly used terms would help others. It should be something that we can add on to when we have additional comments/information. Great idea…hope this helps… HC

  • Hi! I like dark agave a lot. I also use stevia at times. Prior to transitioning I hated it but now like the Nu Natural brand in the supplement aisle. Its in a box. Take it easy and enjoy the process. Don’t measure food just listen to your body. :)…
    in Please check out my diet for today Comment by Hippie Chick
  • It sounds like you are not eating enough! That will have the reverse effect. I actually gain weight when I eat too little. My dr and nutritionist confirmed this phenomena, Also, where are your leafy greens? That is super important. I would consider …

    in Back, Raw & Pregnant Comment by Hippie Chick
  • Yup, Breville as well here. If you get it at Bed Bath and Beyond, don’t forget your 20% off coupon. I got mine for 60 dollars and it rocks. For smoothies, I wouldn’t recommend anything other than a VitaMix. I got mine new about 4 years ago and it is…

  • I hear you ANGELSFEET. I boxed recreationally for a while (2 years). What a great feeling. I just stopped at one point because of an injury and never started back up. Yeah…the weight loss would be nice!!! Thanks for your thoughtful response :) HC

  • DAIN you made some great points. I will give your ideas a try. Thanks :) My diabetic dr. and nutritionist are totally not where I am with regard to food and wellness. I am in the process of making some changes regarding that.Essentially they told me…

  • I have read that you shouldn’t overuse spinach. Does anyone have info on that? I do switch up my greens (dark lettuces, lots of kale and collard) but I LOVE spinach and pear. :) HC
    in GREEN SMOOTHIES Comment by Hippie Chick
  • Hi! I really think that banana does it for me. I have been reading about others adding flavorings to mask the greens. Some are raw. others not. Because I am a bit less than 100%, I go for it, especially when 2-3 drops get me to drink me a quart or m…

  • Bluedolfin, that was so beautifully said. I have no advice for you David, because I am struggling with the same stuff. At least you are not alone! It is extra hard when those around you want you to have just a little cooked food to make you feel bet…

  • How about substiutions? In addition to fabulous recipes, I would love to see other things that would work, in addition to comments regarding MUSTS (ie within a given recipe, will any nuts do or just Brazil nuts?)
    in What kind of recipe book would you like? Comment by Hippie Chick
  • I am with the rest of the crew. I bought my Benriner for around $60. I was surprised at the price but was advised that it was the best bet because the amazing Japanese steel always stays sharp. I say to go for it!

  • Didn’t Wolfe say that he tries some non-raw food when he is traveling but is always vegan? And speaking of the Raw Summit…...and going a bit off topic, sorry,was anyone else offended by Debbie Merrill’s hour? I feel that she dismissed her own drug …
