I've read and personally experienced that leafy greens or celery can be combined with fruit (except for melons) without any problems. I often blend ripe bananas with 2 or 3 stalks of celery for a...

Place the almonds in water in a container. Make sure you adequately cover
the almonds because the almonds will swell when they start to absorb the water.

Discard any almonds that float to the...

Some cool things to do when first going raw:
- If there are no other SAD eaters in your home, collect all the packaged non-raw "food" and donate it to your local food bank. Get all the temptations...

FWIW, I love having a work blender. I also keep a citrus juicer, knife and cutting board and one large pitcher at the office.

For me, the $400.00 price tag is easily justified for the convenience...

Hey, welcome back to your RAW journey.

Many of us travel a rollercoaster ride on our RAW journeys. Rarely, does someone instantly succeed on RAW (or any other goal) without setbacks here and...

Hi Sukey,

Welcome! I too live in Kentucky -- Florence.

Nice to know you'll be farming organic. If I'm ever down that way
at a Bluegrass festival or camping next Summer, I'd like to pick up...

Sharon,

Thanks for the post.

You can sure tell she's a student of Doug. Many of the same exact talking points that Doug has spoken about. Good to see a young person spreading the truth.

Eat more bananas. Seriously, two bananas isn't enough food to sustain anyone for long. Each banana only has about 80 calories, so 160 calories wouldn't last that long. My typical breakfast, which...

Welcome!!!

Just start incorporating more fresh, raw, ripe, organic, whole fruits and vegetables into your meals. Fruit is excellent! Ripe bananas are a great staple for me because of their...

ShelShel,

Thanks for sharing your situation and I applaud your efforts. Love is a powerful motivator! May you both find the strength to succeed; I'll pray for you.

ShelShel,

I'm 100% 811rv and live with my wife, no kids. She's non-raw and eats alot of vegan meals but also eats chicken and cheese on occasion as well as sweets and other junk foods including...

FruitarianOne,

A few questions I was hoping you could answer:

How often should I do this routine? Every Day? Every other day?
Do you break up the exercises or do them one right after the...

That video is awesome!!!

Keep 'em coming F1.

I take the whole head and slice off the bottom part (1/2 - 1 inch) with whatever knife is around and then hand tear into a salad. I rinse each leave separately and then also in a salad spinner.

I don't get tired; but, my ingredients in my smoothies never include oils/nuts. They taste great with just lettuce plus a few bananas. Today, I had two green smoothies, each containing 1 head of...

I wish I was your neighbor :)

Ripe bananas are easier to digest, taste sweeter, easier to peel, and often cheaper because grocers discount them for fear of losing a sale. Those are my reasons.

Costs vary depending on your location, sales, etc... Currently (and for the past year or so), bananas have sold here in Cincinnati area for $0.59c/lb conventional and $0.69c/lb organic. Of course,...

I've read that folks who've had trouble with citrus fruits overcome this problem after they've stayed low-fat raw vegan for a period of time. Hope this rings true for you at some point.

I love...

Bananas are transported through distributors to grocers in 40 lb boxes. I have two ways of buying my bananas. Fortunately, I live close to a distributor that supplies the local grocery chains. I...

Ditto Audrey. Sometimes the peels can fool us too. Meaning, I've had spotted peels where the bananas weren't quite ripe enough and I've had the converse happen too. Generally, I've found that...

18 to 24 hours for the banana leather. You could also use an egg slicer and slice the bananas lengthwise. That's a cool trick too.

All,

Raw vegetables are the best source for minerals.

There have been some excellent posts on VegSource this week talking 'bout Zinc...
