Why don't you try juicing the carrots and/or celery and cucumber and using the juicing liquid as your base for a bunch of raw soup made in your blender?
You can add some of the leafy greens, like the spinach and mild salad mix a litle at a time, tasting as you go along to see if you like the flavor. Personally I think carrot juice and spinach leaves are great together.
I'd also add either a h

If you can afford it moneywise and time wise, doing a raw food retreat for a week or more like at The Optimum Health Institute of San Diego or Austin or at Hippocrates in Florida, can really, really help with the initial cleansing and detoxing and getting you on a healthy track to an all raw lifestyle ( or high raw lifestyle). There is plenty of support from your fellow participants who are going

I know there are a lot of southwestern traditional salsa recipes that use tomatillos instead of tomatoes and they're really good.
You might want to google tomatillo salsa recipes and see what pops up.

David,
What did you get your doctorate in, and what university did you receive it from?
Did you get it from Gabriel Cousins? Or is your background from a more traditional graduate nutrition university program like Tufts or Bastyr?
..Would you recommend any particular graduate programs for raw foodists?
thanks!

The only other way I know other than using a dehydrator is to try experimenting using your oven on the lowest temp and drying out your cracker batter that way. Another suggestion is to use hard veggies cut thin on a mandolin slicer for making fresh vegetable chips. Jicama, carrot, zucchini or beet sliced medium thin could be used as "chips" for dipping in your pates or guac totally

Take 6 or 7 really large medjool dried dates, ( remove the pits) slit in half, smear with raw almond butter inside and create mini date and almond butter "sandwiches". These are delicious, easy and filling and can be transported in a ziplock bag or tupperware.
Also, I made a lot of hearty nut and seed pates from Nomi Shannon's book in my early days raw. I ate it with cut up carrot s

Why don't you try emailing or calling the company owner directly? Blessing's Raweos are actually made by a woman named Blessing out in California. Maybe she could come up with a shipping possibility for you so you could order the cookies in bulk at a better price and shipping rate. And you can always freeze the extra Raweos packs untill you're ready to eat them...if they last that long.

I had the pleasure of interning with them and can tell you that while their cakes are not "fluffy" as in traditional cake, they are light years ahead of the soggy nut and fruit pie/cakes we are normally used to in raw eating. The cake part of their deserts *is* dense, but tasty. It is made from nuts and coconut and dried fruits or agave or maple with added flavors and spices. The cake f

106. Re: Raw Kombucha
My opinion is that it is a "living food" in that it's enzymatically alive due to the fermenting, but not a "raw food "because the starter base is a cooked product. It's much like calling un-pasturized miso a "live food". Miso also starts out cooked, but ends up "live"due to fermenting.
As far as the sugar and caffiene and alcohol content of the GT Kombuc

Hi all.
I spoke with the owner of the Kombucha company ( the GT Kombucha) a few months ago and *yes* the Kombucha is started with a base of sugar. They use evaporated cane juice, but nonetheless it is sugar. It also is caffienated from what I can recall him telling me. I personally had terrible reactions to the product and would never recommend it to the health seeking raw community. I reacted

Are there any other women out there who have experienced WORSE menstrual cramping since becoming raw?
I became a vegetarian and then a vegan right after high school because of extremely painful periods. Advil popping 6 pills every 3 hours kind of bad.

For a more cake-y texture...
Something I can suggest would be to soak and sprout a grain, such as whole organic sproutable oats or spelt. I would then dehydrate them in your dehydrator till totally dry, and then grind them into a fine powder flour in the Vita Mix or food processor.
I'd use the grain flour instead of nuts in your cake recipes, and given the fact you can't use dates, I'd sub raw

I think you may have more luck with "old school" types of raw cookbooks, such as those written by Anne Wigmore.

If you are OK eating raw dairy, there is a whey protein powder on the market that is very nearly a "raw" protein powder. Meaning, that they do not heat their temperatures very high in the processing and advertise their product being as close to raw milk as possible. The company is called "Designs for Health".

Hi Jackie.
For me the best appetite suppressant is Wheat Grass Juice. When I'm in a particularly hungry phase, I eat a much cleaner diet ( less sugars from dried fruits, less honey, agave, etc, and more regularly timed meals and snacks) and I drink 1 oz of wheat grass in the morning on an empty stomach, and 1 oz of wheat grass at night before bed, or a few hours after dinner.

Hey Guys.
I just saw an infomercial for Jack Lalanne's new power blender - the "Health Master 100 Blender". ( I'm out sick with a flu...don't ususally sit through watching infomercials. )
It's being compared to the Vita Mix at a "fraction of the cost". Instinctively I'm not seeing that it could possibly be Vita-Mix power worthy, but wanted to check it out just to be ce

You are right about Mung Beans being a great raw bean too. My bad.

Hi Renee.
The only raw beans that are suitable for eating raw - and by raw, I mean soaked over night and sprouted untill tails grow out of them, are:
Adzuki beans
Chickpeas
Lentils ( all variety of lentils are edible raw - brown, red, green, french, and black. )
All other beans will create a bitter, toxic tasting food product that you won't want to serve *anyone*, let alone your family

One last thing I would add about food...
Straight dandelion juice was super extremely helpful ( I would juice one whole big bunch to make about 8 oz of it at one time) in calming down my skin during acute pain phases.
Spinach juice was also healing and cooling.
