I attended a raw cooking class at Whole Foods and the instructor used the paint strainer bags, she recommended using them.

Did I screw up on preparation of this recipe? I just purchsed the coconut oil from Alissa's site and made the following recipe:

Just like chocolate!
1 cup crème de cocoa coconut oil
3/4 cup raw...

When recipes call for dried herbs/spices: basil, parsely, chives, onion powder

Does that mean these items are purchased as raw or are folks using Schilling spices from the store? I guess if a...

When you use:

Dried herbs like (basil, parsely, chives etc.)

Does that mean you purchased fresh and dehydrated or are these like schilling spices? Are dried spices purchased at the store raw?...

I too go out to restaurants with my parents and don't eat. I usually have a smoothie before I go, but don't eat.

I'd like to know what folks use when making their green smoothies, blender or juicer?

I have been using my juiceman juicer to make green smoothies. All the fiber is left to dispose of and I'm...

I have been about 95% raw for the last couple of weeks or so. I also started having hot flashes after eating as well. I have pretty much narrowed it down to flashing after eating a fruit smoothie. ...

Another question on use after soaking. Per Alissa's book, she recommends soaking various types of nuts and rinsing but keeping them in water until used. Is that what everyone does?

I just...

I feel much better! Found the replacment plunger on-line for $12.00 at vitamix.com. :)

I'm so bummed. I did a really dumb thing with my Vita Mix blender and wanted to share in hopes of this not happening to anyone else.

I was yickety-yaking with someone while I plunged my smoothie....

My sister-in-law returned from Turkey recently and gave me a small packet of Saffron. I guess it is a delicacy as it came in a round hard-plastic container and she split it between family members.

I'm ordering some items from Alissa and at checkout it states, "redeem a discount coupon", enter the coupon code. How or where would I get a discount coupon? Can someone explain how you secure...

Thanks for sharing, I got a kick outta it!

To open the coconut I got a big nail and hammer.

On the end that has the 3 indentations, I hammered the nail into two of the holes. I had to make the hole wider and repeated the step above until...

Great info! The one I bought was hairy white, not cleaned up like the white one's with the definite tip.

I think I will peel the thin layer off of it and shread the meat and try it.

I wonder...

Thank you for responding, I really appreciate the info.

Can you share how you used the coconut?

I broke into it and the coconut meat is kind of like the consistency of a carrot, it is kind of...

I'm sitting here drinking the water I just drained from my first coconut. It tastes pretty good. Got > 2 cups.

I was wondering if the coconut water should be consumed immediately or can I save...

I don't know anyone who has...

Hi, I saw Alissa on the Tyra Banks show a few months ago and was intrigued. I purchased the book/DVD and have been trying a bunch of recipies since. I've been struggling with going 100% raw the...
