things I have found extremely helpful:
ps. it seems like a lot I know, but I am so lazy that if things aren't easy I won't do them, hence they myriad of products...
juicer (my breville rocks! you can get one at amazon.com or linens n things even carries them)
teeny citrus juicer (only costed $10, cause i use orange juice in my smoothies and they're too soft for my big juicer)
lock n lock containers (they really keep produce fresh for a long time)
green & black 70% chocolate bars (eat them, melt them, use them)
agave nectar (I am hugely addicted to sweets and this really helped my transition from mainstream sugars)
blender (I just have a simple one, but I can't wait to get one of the super ones I've heard about on here)
automatic iced tea maker (not everyone agrees that iced tea is raw, but it stops me from drinking things that are even worse!)

The OXO Good Grip Vegetable Peeler is a star in my kitchen - it swivels, you can peel either direction, easy to make "noodles" and peel the toughest vegetables. They cost less than $10 (have had mine for years -- often give them as gifts).

Congratulations on making it raw - and thanks for sharing! You should be proud of yourself. Transitioning can be difficult, I really appreciate the tips!

lock n lock containers are air tight containers that have this waterproof seal on the lid, you lock the lid on each container in 4 places. you can find them in some mainstream stores and always on qvc.com

yes, as far as I know, the wrapper says they're suitable for vegetarians and vegans, they're also a staple in the raw food detox diet book, they're awesome!

Green & black chocolate bars are NOT raw at all. Not even partially.

No, I don't think so. But she also says she is melting them and that means heat!
