papaya or figs - but both have to be really ripe to be good.

in What is your favorite fruit? Comment by violet

Yes, I think that local health food shops are the best places to check. I'm slowly seeing more and more raw products appear the shelves in shops near me but I still have to order a lot of specialist items (chia seeds, raw nuts etc.) online. I really…

Thank you, I'm going to try it today with some banana and chopped coconut.

in serving suggestions - fig jam? Comment by violet

On my list of things to do this year is to start eating wild food... I live right by a woodland area, does anyone know what sort of things I should look out for?

Thank you Suasoria. I always enjoy reading what you have to say.

in How Important is Organic Food to you? Comment by violet

Thank you all for the wealth of responses and especially to Happy Raw Girl for you long and insightful reply. I really do still feel that organic food will be better for my body (although my boyfriend disputes this) so I will continue to buy organic…

I have never eaten just one meal a day over a length of time but I have done it before and I know exactly what you mean. I find that I am so much more productive and clear headed on an empty stomach, however unlike you I tend to eat towards the end …

I love to have a simple base for a salad and add different combinations of fresh herbs. A mixture of greens, lots of herbs, lemon juice, cold pressed olive oil, avocado, perhaps a few almonds... that's my perfect salad.

This sounds gorgeous, thank you for the idea.

Thank you for your advice, I'm going to see if there are any Asian supermarkets around here. Would substituting regular coconut be out of the question? I'm guessing it's the difference in texture of the flesh which is the problem.

in Thai Coconuts in England? Comment by violet

You can make a sort of chocolatey breakfast by soaking them in nut milk, cacao powder, lucuma powder (or another sweetener) then I like to add cacao nibs, goji berries, grated apples etc. I've also seen them added to green smoothies but I haven't tr…

No but my Mum knows a couple because she teaches on a nutrition course, but she isn't raw herself.

I'm glad I'm not the only one!

in A letter to my tummy Comment by violet

Oh I'm from the UK so shipping would be a problem I guess. It sounds good though, and although I'm trying to be as raw as possible I don't mind making exceptions.

in Craving Tahini Comment by violet

Also thai-hini sounds really appealing. Are you making it to sell?

in Craving Tahini Comment by violet

I have the same problem with nut butters! I cannot get my little finger out the jar once it's opened (yes, I eat it straight from the jar). Maybe it's the fat that I crave. I am also craving tahini now, it sounds really good with bell peppers. x

in Craving Tahini Comment by violet

I love this idea. Today I made an iced tea with a splash of lemon and used apple juice as the sweetener. I will have to try a tea smoothie.

in Boost your smoothies! Comment by violet

I stopped the challenge after about 1 week because I don't feel that it is right for me, I didn't like the restriction of labeling myself as 100% raw and prefer to trust myself to make the right food decisions as they are presented to me. I eat all …
