Howdy!

Hi! We are still at the 'dipping our foot in' stage of going to a raw food diet.

We have 6 children so far ages 16, 14, 10, 8, 3, and 1. Our 3 yr old and 14 yr old are the two fighting it the most. Hoping to find help on how to get our 3 yr old to eat more raw foods and drink green/fruit smoothies. He refuses all things raw.

I can't wait to glean all sorts of great information to share with my DH!

Hello! I can tell by your screen name that you are in the Army. We are too, but we are almost done! (Who'd a thunk 20 years would go by so fast! Ha!) Do you have a Vitamix? It makes excellent sorbets. The kids probably won't even it's not store bought. You can hide raw veggies in it too!

YAY for being almost done! We have about 7 more years..so we are getting there! We just bought a Blendtec...I wonder if it does sorbets as well?! We are loving it so far!

I bet it does.

I had a dog who was nearing the end of his life (he was a huge dog [150 lbs] and he lived to be 15 years old!] so I would make him fruit and veggie sorbets because it was hard for him to eat solid food. He loved the sorbets...especially pineapple. I'd throw in some cabbage or carrots and as long as I didn't put in too much, he'd gobble it right up.

I miss that doggie a bunch

Aw I'm so sorry! If anything were to happen to our doggie I would be devestated!

I will have to play with the blender more and figure it out!
