Hi all. New here. I'm in my late 30s, live in NY. My parents (father was a chemist, mother a nurse) were ahead of their time in some regard back in the 70s espousing greens, wheat germ, live cultures, etc. Over the years I've eaten some good stuff (salads) and not so good stuff (fries and a burger), however two things have set me on the path of raw foods:
1) Mild Gastro issues. Seems as though I am gluten intolerant as well as have some very minor flare ups in my GI related to certain foods. Nothing severe liek Crohn's, but enough to send a wake up call.
2) Read a few books on "Green" eating, smoothies, etc. and was convinced, in addition to seeing people look much healthier who are juicers, etc.
So, I went out and bought a Blendtec blender. Lovin' it. I am NOT heavy at all, in fact I am fairly skinny at 5'10", 140 lbs, but I am sick and tird of feeding junk to my body. :)
I'm looking to compile about 10-20 fairly easy recipes I can keep handy in my kitchen. What are some good online resources? Thanks.
