Hi pandito!
Welcome to the awesome raw food lifestyle. Different folks make their smoothies in different ways; some do add a bit of water or ice cubes, I've known some who even add a bit of flax oil. I don't add any water to juicing recipes, as they are liquefied enough on their own.
For smoothies though, unless you are using really juicy fruit, they can get very thick, almost a yogurt-like

"but I have to take a lot of what's printed on that website with a big grain of salt."
Yeah, I tend to agree; I am not a real big fan of Alex Jones, but I do like the fact that he is not afraid to speak his mind. I like it that he will take on the gov't./politicians/special interest lobby groups etc. and expose them for what they truly are.

According to several sources that I frequent regularly, the new "Obamacare" health plan that is being relentlessly pushed comes with a few strings attached;
One of which is Mandatory Vaccinations, so we will all be safe from the big bad H1N1 & other nasties...
Even if you do not elect to take the "free" healthcare, they are still talking about mandatory Vaccinations,

1174. Redo kitchen in Bamboo
We are soon going to be re-doing the entire kitchen, & are looking for a healthy alternative to the common building materials that are normally used. Being a handyman type, I can do all the work myself, so the labor cost will not be an issue.
We have been researching different materials and have come across Bamboo for use as counter tops & cabinets. I was wondering if anyone here has a

Hi Debra,
You will find plenty of great support from the good folks on these forums. A support team is the best to surround yourself with, especially if you have others around you who try to sabotage your efforts. I can saw that once you go RAW, you never want to look back!
I have completely lost my taste for anything cooked, and even when I smell food cooking, it totally repels me. I get s

1176. Re: 7days
Hi Zeb -
I like this - "My wife says that I'm very toxic and need to start eating in healthy ways." LOL, it is the opposite for me. I am the RAW one in the family, & I tell my wife that she is toxic! By the way, if you have a urinary tract infection, Cranberry/Apple juice daily will knock that right out in short order. Sounds like you are making a commitment to the RAW lifestyle

1177. Re: fruit 1st veg 2nd
I will lead off with fruit & alternate throughout the day. For me personally, I would eat fruit in the evening. Not counting juice or water, fruit does move through your digestive system faster than anything else. That way, it gives your body time to move it through the system before bedtime.

kwan, that is a cool thing to be able to do! I just wish I could take 2 wks. off & go out into the woods & become "one with nature", while doing a water/juice fast. Sadly, with my schedule, it ain't gonna happen anytime soon...

1179. Re: water fasting
I have water fasted a few times; It can be difficult, both mentally & physically. If you are very toxic, it can be a hard & fast flush on your system and that can make you feel very out of sorts.
I did it while on the SAD & I wasn't prepared for the symptoms which were very harsh for me. Leading into it with juices, as suncloud suggested, and also breaking the fast with juices is a

I do take a few tablespoons of Barley Green each day, but I do not use it as a sub. for the real thing. As the others mentioned, I would either stop by the market when needed, or maybe buy a bit more & then put them in the freezer to keep from going bad.
I have done that in the past with no problems. Take them out of the freezer, throw them in the blender & you already have the ice fac

Looks like Hemp seeds are the way to go. There isn't anyplace local for me to purchase them (I live in PA), so I will have to buy online. I didn't realize they were so expensive!
Does anyone have a good place that they buy in bulk online? I am seeing prices like 5 lb./$50.00.

I was referring to already prepared Hemp milk. I know it isn't raw, but thought maybe it would be better than soy, since I have been hearing really bad things about soy. I was just wondering what others on here are doing as an alternative that may have kids & family that are used to milk products, for cereals, etc.

After reading some posts on here & elsewhere, I have found that soy milk/soy products are bad. Same for rice milk - darn, I thought that might be a good alternative.
I haven't found really anything "wrong" with Hemp milk in my searches, except for the fact that it is obviously a "processed" food. I know there are also recipes that yo9u can use almonds & other nuts

Hi Krocodilly ,
I lived the SAD for the first 25 yrs. of my life, really "junking" it up bad. When i finally "saw the light", & made the switch - first to vegetarian, then vegan, then RAW, and also much juicing - I went through a host of very nasty detox symptoms, for several months.

Well, I have me heart set on a Bledtec blender right now, but I have a $60 Brawn that is still chugging along, although noisily. When it goes, I will most likely invest in the Blendtec. I do feel the high dollar units are a good value if you are the type to use them everyday, several times a day, which I do.
For a couple hundred dollars you can get a pretty nice juicer these days. The Omega, S

Hi Prism,
I have been thinking of doing something like the bath/shower/washing dishes mixture you mentioned. I was thinking of putting it in a pump/dispenser bottle or something similar.
What, exactly is the recipe you use for essential oil/Coconut Oil, Olive and Palm Oils? Does it lather at all? It would seem that it would leave you with an oily feeling after bathing, washing hands, etc.

Ah yes, Jgunn; you brought to mind a blender we had some 25 years ago; It was my parent's actually. An industrial grade Stainless Steel Oster, we thought it was the best thing going!
When my parents' purchased it, the demo booth demonstrated the power/versatility of the unit by grinding up whole eggs in it, shells & all, adding milk, ice cream, etc. YUK!!!

This is really very irritating; I have children who love the taste of the Chocolate soy milk, both Silk & 8th Continent. While I know this isn't the best choice for them, I figured it would be a step above cow's milk!
Guess it is a "step" above, but not by much...

I know some will have different opinions on this, as I know there are a few really good vit/mineral supplements out there, but...
I used to, but don't any longer. When I did take them, I would chew them up & then swallow with food, not swallow the pill whole. With the amount of raw I consume, combined with the juicing/smoothies, I feel it is no longer necessary for me. Now, I don't have bl

That is amazing! Although, if you figure in what I do in smoothies, I suppose I do close to a dozen & a half. I eat about 5 a day or so, the rest in drinks. Yum!

Funny, I was looking into this as well, as I will be in the market for a new blender soon. I read in another posts that the "new" Blendtec plastics are the "safe" ones, but how do you really know what you are getting, since there is probably old stock floating around on the shelves...
Maybe someone can comment further on this...it would be nice to have a glass container.

I can't stand the taste of under-ripe bananas! To ripen them, do this, as jgunn suggested;
Put the fruit in a loosely closed paper bag. This traps the ethylene gas (emitted by the fruit) inside and accelerates ripening. Don’t seal the bag too tightly or use a plastic bag.
If you trap too much moisture, mold may grow. If you really want to ripen things in a hurry, put an apple in the bag w

Those are all great suggestions. One of the problems with water quality, esp. with well or spring water, is that it can change over time; from one test to the next, ours can show very different levels of contaminants.
Part of our problem is that we live in a valley, with farmland all around upon which they fertilize heavy & also use nasty chicken manure & chemicals on as well. That is
