I make my almond milk with 2tbs of raw almond butter for every two cups of water. Can't be bothered to strain and don't mind the skins.

Cool beans!! Well done.

ok, I'm just going to chime in with the "warm it up in the dehydrator" mantra. Really works. The food doew not come out hot but it's warm and cozy.

I don't know for sure but I would think that raw yogurt (made out of raw milk) is considered "raw" for sure. It certainly isn't vegan - but maybe that's not what you're going for.

carob has more saturated fat and cocoa is full of anti-oxidents. I like the flavour of cacoa better and I add a few beens to my fruit shake every day.

Some people find it easier to incorporate more raw dishes into their regular diet so that the transition is more seamless and less abrupt. Just replace some meals or a portion of all meals with raw...

I've never eaten SAD. Mostly chicken breast and fish supplimented with tons of raw fresh veggies and loads of fruit. I also ate wild rice (worth the cost), sprouted grain bread, raw nut butters and...

Pizda, Thanks for the info. I've been avoiding these foods for a while unless they are fermented or cooked.
