glad you like the rooibos-
i think it's different from tea in it's fullness and roundness...
and so glad you've got a couple of options to experiment with-

yum-
great ideas bikini!!!
i liked the african celestial seasonings one
but generally i only like my rooibos loose.
it's not that expensive
and the teabags do affect the flavor to me

How do grains make you feel?: Grains make me violently ill. i swell in my joints, my skin gets an uncomfortable layer of water retention. my bowels get very swollen and gassy and i alternate between horrible movements and painful constipation. i've actually had it to where my eyes were swollen shut and i couldn't close my fingers b/c the reaction was so intense.
Have you noticed any health

rooibos
it's a tea
but tastes like medjool dates
or amazing honey
in a cup
and the color is so soothing
that's my vote!

i found my champion made the best nut butters,
the omega only makes nut flours
so that was actually what my champion was used for in the years when i never juiced in it.....
almond butters are great
though i must confess
to being a ridiculous fan
of macadamias
walnuts naturally seem to separate into oil and thick paste
pecans make flour
never tried cashews....
have fun

my body, i have found,
does not thrive on high fiber.
it loves nutrient dense
water dense food
but fiber
gives me bloating
gas
indigestion
especially from veggies
so i have yet to get a blender
though smoothies sound good
i love my juicer
i have never regretted it
i don't throw away anything
i have a dog
and a dehydrator
i get pretty creative

LOL!!!
my dad always said vegans tasted best....
this makes such total sense. i can smell when my husband is sick, or eating badly, or anything like that. and man, i am picky about smells! my husband had one friend who was very good-looking and nice, and all my friends thought he was a hottie, but i couldn't stand to be around him, and actually started to dislike him because he smelled

i'd have to dehydrate and pickle. cause winters in new england aren't exactly, um, fruitful.
but if i did that, i think i could live most of the year off of what we grow locally. in the summer, we buy all our veggies local, and if i could keep my apples year round, i would be quite happy. we grow enough apples, berries, greens, etc, to feed the majority of people. i don't know about all.

it feels great when the humidity is a little lower....
we're in a third floor apt with no airconditioning,
150 feet from a river
it's true, it doesn't smell rank,
but it's a bit much for us, since after 8 hours it's kinda caked on and salty
we call it our sauna
and joke that it's keeping up really healthy
it probably is
but i'm still rinsing off twice a day.

raw almonds, one per half date, is the most amazing desert ever!!!! i didn't even think of it for this thread, but it's so quick and i love serving it to my husband for dessert. he always appreciates it when i share my dates.... cause i'm kinda selfish about them... i'm working on sharing.
i really don't do a lot of fancy preparing, i just buy whatever fruits smell irresistable at t

if you use the Fertility Awareness Method,
you can NOT get pregnant.
because of the simple fact that
if you're not near ovulation,
sperm can't reach the egg
and no babies are made.
but there is the hang up of no sex for up to five days before and then during ovulation. or during periods.
but it's nice because even if you are using contraception
and something happens

1) raw for 3 1/2 years
2) 25
3) less sensitive before raw, on the test, but actually just less aware of how my sensitivities were causing all the chaos and confusion in my life.
4) wondering if how my pain threshold can be so high (48 hours of labor, only 4 with drugs) and yet my sensitivity to my physical discomfort (bloating, aching, digestive discomfort) is so intense? always has been.

i don't measure,
and i don't dehydrate.
when i first went raw, i tried to sprout/soak everything before making the bars, and that was a terrible messy yucky failure (though my dog thought they were amazing)
i use enough dates to make it sticky, enough nuts to give it the right texture and to cut the sweetness. usually it's a couple more dates than nuts, for texture and binding. a cup of

hm
i love lara bars
when there is nothing fresh to eat
but the rest of the time
i prefer my fruit
when i travel i haul them along
gluten-free and minimally processed is far more important to me than organic.
though i do make my own version at home that i actually prefer
dates
almonds
cacao
cinnamon
coconut
whatever i want
pecans and raisins and cinnamin are good...

i'm a huge anti-pill girl. as a hormonal teenager put on the pill at fifteen, and kept on all the different kinds over the years, none of which worked to stabilize my cycle (turns out it is just 47 days long, and the pill couldn't fool my body about it).
i'm a HUGE fan of Taking Charge of Your Fertility, which is also known as the Fertility Awareness Method. i avoided pregnancy for two years

juicing greens, kale, chard, lettuce, spinach, collard greens, every day now.
eating the fruit though, it tastes great the way it is, and it travels well.
juicing pineapple cores whenever i have though, yum. and cucumbers.

ugh, i haven't eaten broccoli in YEARS now. i tried it a few times at first, but puked it up after i got pregnant in 2005. and never touched it again.
i agree,with above info. if you don't enjoy it raw, then don't eat it raw, and in my book, that generally means i don't eat it. not buying veggies that i don't eat raw helps keep me raw and gas free.
i've slowly removed fruits and veggies

i actually felt GREAT after the first day of raw. i was so excited, and went into the second and third day with high hopes. but the third day i felt really drained, had cravings, and really couldn't believe i wanted to stay raw. so i'd eat a little something cooked, usually rice-based, felt like crap that night and the next day was dedicated to raw again.

he eats huge salads with lots of greens, seeds and some fruit.
i was shocked to see it, b/c he still eats a lot of non-raw food. when home, he's forced to eat raw, or cook for himself, but he'll make brown rice and lightly cooked veggie stir fries for himself 99% of the time.
or just eats my salads and fruit.
but recently his tastes have changed and he LIKES tomatoes, he prefers fresh

after drinking coffee for 10 years, usually excessively, going raw helped me cut back to a more sane amount of coffee. but raw after a few years led me right away from it.
it gives me a stomach-ache, a twitchy, agitated feeling, and shaky hands. i prefer my green juice now to give me a lift and a clear head. and talk about long-burning energy!
