• loriprude-I get a lot of foam also. Sometimes it is just too foamy. It seems that apples, pineapples and oranges are the biggest culprits, so sometimes I just juice those ingredients and only use the juice in the smoothie. However, if you want the w…

• I like to juice orange or apple for the base (1 cup), and then add 7 strawberries, a frozen banana, 2 T. hemp seeds, and a hand full of greens like spinich, or weeds from my yard. I usually add a bit of honey or agave to balance the hemp. Angie, I r…

• I am not far behind you, I don’t think. We learned about this less than a month ago, and I can really relate to your post! I have decided that I would choose to eat food off of Zoe’s non-raw list to kind of help me transition. Especially since so ma…

• Zoe-Is it possible to obtain raw cashews? I read that they are heated to get them out of the shell because of the fluid inside the shell which is poison or something. I am not quite sure on this.

• We tried dandelion and plantain from our yard. A little bit of the dandelion goes a long way, but the plantain is pretty mild. If you like spicy greens, we like the onion mustard growing around everywhere here. I was wondering if any one uses collar…

• I am learning that acid can actually build up in your system over the years, and when something happens such as stress, or change in eating, or injury, it kind of gets stirred up. Of course most cooked food is acid forming, and most raw food is alka…

• I had the same thing happen to me, and some cooked food got rid of the headache. I am just new at this, too, and am curiously exploring, so that is why I tried the cooked food which did contain meat. I am wondering, now if it has to do with ph. If s…

• Thanks MOTH, I was wondering if he would become more sensitive, or as he builds his body, will he be less sensitive to them. I had thought about telling him to just have one a day for innoculation. I have started to really monitor his nut consumptio…

• Speaking of nuts, my son, bj, ate 15 brazile nuts the other day! I did not know he was doing this, but he said that he had never tried them before, and he just couln’t stop until he had eaten all of them! He said that the oily mouth feel was just to…

• I told him a good rule is two handfuls a day. But sometimes less and sometimes more if it is in a nutty recipe. Nuts are expensive, and he has a big appetite! Today he ate half a pineapple for lunch. He really seemed to enjoy his mono meal! jj had 1…

• I am wondering if any one can help me figure out how to avoid getting avacados that are not good. I bought a bag of them, and one was mostly brownish in side and tasted real grainy. It was not squishy, and did not have a rancid smell.
