• Macadamia, that's a good point about milk bases other than nuts. Bonus: some of them probably won't kill my blender as fast!

  in How I prepare raw, plant based milks using a simple blender Comment by Claire Turnip
• Thanks for sharing. It definitely looks durable! I'll have to see if I can find one before my current blender takes its final spin. I've been through so many that I can just about tell when they're going to stop working.

• What blender do you use? I have a bad habit of running cheap ones into the ground on an annual basis. I would love to be able to try recipes like this without worry.

• Hi Murray. Welcome to the forum! I agree completely about the modern agriculture business. Maltreatment of animals isn't just bad for them, it also leads to a much lower quality of meat for those who eat it. The industry has moved so far away from w…

  in Why did you choose the raw veganism path? Comment by Claire Turnip
• Yes. It has improved my health as well, so that's an added bonus. I think nature might have the right idea.

  in Why did you choose the raw veganism path? Comment by Claire Turnip
• That is a great question. I think it was a combination for me: a bit of getting back to nature with a little going back to childhood. A raw diet is pretty close to what I ate on long summer days when I was growing up.

• Hi Kris, That sounds like an excellent and sensible way to approach it. Welcome to the forum! Kindness, Claire

  in Vegetarian on my way to raw/vegan Comment by Claire Turnip
• Hi Getting Raw :) Ovens aren't perfect for the purpose, but they can be used with varying levels of success. If your's has a setting for below 200 degrees, then slice up a few fruits and veg, place them flat on a tray, turn the oven on low, prop the…

  in Can anyone teach me how to dehydrate? Comment by Claire Turnip
• Hi Getting Raw :) It's nice to meet you and I would love to hear more about your journey from junk food. I know what you mean about the added energy. When I started a raw foods diet I was literally running circles around everyone at work. I had to c…

• Hi Rock, That sounds like a great idea. I wish I were closer so I could join in, but I'm way up north in the redwoods. The ocean adventure kayaking sounds awesome. How long have you been kayaking for?

• Tropical island life would be nice. I tend to dash a bit of crumbled up seaweed on top of meals to make sure I'm getting enough iodine since I don't eat fish. Lately, I've been importing it from somewhere in Norway, so it's not exactly tropical food…

  in Should we supplement on a raw diet. Comment by Claire Turnip
• Personally, I take a natural multivitamin with minerals on most days. I do my best to make sure I'm getting enough through foods, since vitamins are more easily absorbed when they come from real food sources. I consider the multivitamin a "just in c…

  in Should we supplement on a raw diet. Comment by Claire Turnip
• Hi Buffy :) When I first started out, what I really sought out were dense and filling foods.. Raw nut butters (usually ground or blended at home when I had time), such as almond butter and tahini, were additions to a lot of meals. I also agree with …

  in New to raw Comment by Claire Turnip
• This sounds like a great idea. I wonder if a jobs section might be useful in the forum.

• I had to Google it. It sounds interesting - a drink of fermented sprouted grains (wheat berries, I think). Wyethia, how did it work out in the end?

  in rejuvulac questions Comment by Claire Turnip
• Great video! I never really thought about it, but I did start having more energy when I cut most of the sugar and alcohol from my diet. At the time, I attributed it to the weight loss that resulted, since I had less fat to carry around with me.

• Great list! I eat pretty much everything on it, so I'll probably live forever ;) Are there any other foods worth mentioning that just didn't make it onto the top 20?

  in lower calorie desserts Comment by Claire Turnip
• Count how many calories you are consuming each day and how many you are burning as well, and make sure there isn't a deficit. The weight training may be consuming a huge amount of your energy/fat stores. Like Pame'laVik'toria, in my experience, eati…

• Has anyone had success? My zucchini chips are always a bit bendy. I would love to try a new method.

• There has to be a raw coffee bean recipe out there somewhere.. I admit coffee is one of my vices - that and travel. Sometimes I've even been known to combine the two!

• Any change in diet can lead to an increase in bloating for a while until the body adjusts to the new routine. Sometimes the solution is as simple as just waiting it out. I hope you have made it through the worst of it!

• I have found that adding sea salt to a diet tends to cause a bit of what feels like unhealthy weight gain. Maybe it's just water retention? I know that my experience goes against what is all over the internet right now, and there are probably other …

  in Sea Salt???? Comment by Claire Turnip
• If I eat something with a really strong flavor, any cravings are forgotten once the taste buds are activated. I'm sure it's purely psychological, but it works.
