With the exception of raw chickpeas for hummus (which I've never tried) I think soaking raw beans and trying to eat them would still be rather hard on the digestive system and most people don't...

I have consumed my raw almond milk after it's been in the fridge for up to a week. Maybe even a few days longer! I don't know what might be going on with yours...do you seal it tightly in a glass...

Eating whole fruit is good for you. Whole fruit comes with fiber and other good stuff to slow down the sugar that it also contains. Repeat after me: Eating whole, organic fruit is GOOD for you.

Hey guys. If you have a Vita-Mix, can you help me out by answering some of these questions?

What do you make in your Vita-Mix that a regular blender couldn't do as well?
Can you really use it as...

Bananas are just one of those things that you have to constantly buy if you want to be able to eat them regularly at the best ripeness. I'm always scouting for bananas. I buy green ones while I still...

I agree with T-Bird. Obviously, if this 100%-forever route works for you, then great! I just know it wouldn't work for me. Or even if it worked for three years, and then I had some sort of slip, I'd...

I gotta be honest. For the person who puts cream or milk in his coffee, the nut milks (or even packaged soy milks, etc.) are not going to win him over right off the bat. They do taste different, and...

I just want to say that while this has never happened to me because I don't eat that much cacao in one sitting (usually just a couple of teaspoons of powder/nibs), your post totally cracked me up!

I did the Master Cleanse and, while parts of the experience were quite positive, I wouldn't do it again. Things were okay during the fast, but I had a rough time coming off it. I did the one day of...

I am thinking of signing up for a weekly Zumba class, but I've never done it before and I'm not a good dancer in general, so -- and I know this is really dumb -- I feel intimidated and embarrassed to...

I prefer to drink juice on an empty stomach. So I drink the juice alone and don't eat for maybe a half hour afterwards. It's not about gaining weight at all, but rather just letting the juice work...

I actually didn't know what kind of kale this was until I googled it. I call that "flat kale" lol.

I actually don't consider it very different from curly kale. Weird. I juice it, but when I juice...

I tried to do a mono fruit day this week with apples. I'd never done this before and just thought it would be a nice little break for my body. My apples were organic Gala apples, medium sized.

I...

If I make a smoothie, I clean the blender before I drink the smoothie. It perhaps goes a little faster because I want to eat that smoothie. :) I also try to make sure the kitchen is entirely clean at...

I love adding small bits of beet to my green juice, but I find I'm very sensitive to it. Beet juice is strong! If I add too much, I may feel nauseated. I'm hoping to work my way up gradually to...

Try adding some greens in to your carrots and see how you like that. I LOVE carrots and an apple with spinach and/or swiss chard. Delish. The carrots and apple sweeten up the greens.

If you are set on only buying one item of equipment, then choose the high-powered blender. You can do a lot more with it and it can work as a food processor in some cases. You can't make green...

Honestly, I wouldn't do it. I don't care how powerful wheatgrass is supposed to be; I want a variety of greens and a lot of them in my diet. Of course, you can do what you want...fruitarians don't...

First, are you straining your juice through the small metal strainer? This gets rid of the foam and makes the juice taste better.

I juice lots of greens in my Green Star but I do add some carrots...

I never use the spine for kale and always rip the leaf part off in small pieces. I think the problem is that if you have cheap/regular blender and add too much curly kale, you might end up with...

When it comes to something like a green smoothie, you should be fine mixing greens with fruit. Most people seem to and they are fine with it. It never bothers me. But obviously, listen to your body....

No, rolled oats or instant oats or any oats you basically buy in the store are not actually raw. They've all been pasteurized, I believe.

Years ago, before I knew that, I did some raw food stints...

Can you share the ice cream recipe? It has nuts in it? Do tell! And cacao or carob, I'm guessing?

I've stored some in the fridge and used it up to two weeks later and it was fine.

Of course, I've also used almond milk for as long as two weeks when apparently it's only supposed to last 3 days...

Adriana, there is a lot of crazy/wrong/misinformed/incomplete information out there online. We can't believe everything we read....
