I'm only a few weeks into this, so I'm by no means an expert. But I can share my own experience as a newbie.
I went 100% raw from the very beginning. Decided to not even entertain the idea of...

I ordered an Excalibur Dehydrator. Should be here any day. I want to make granola.

Here's my moron question. :)
I have some dried fruits...Raisins, apricots, etc. Do I go ahead and add dried...

AHA! Thank you! :D

I keep seeing people use the term SAD. What the heck does that mean? :o

What is the MAXIMUM temperature that I should use?
(Not including the suggestion of a higher temp the first couple hours, then turning it down.)

Thanks everyone for the input, it helps with my decision. :)

I'm looking into buying one of the Excaliburs. I DO NOT have the money for the pricey ones. I'd really love the 5 tray, but I don't think I can do it.
I don't want to make anything fancy with it....

Ok, I have a question.
Been raw for a couple weeks now. (LOVE IT!)
Since starting, I have done 100% organic.
Well, I decided yesterday to save some money and buy a few non organic fruits and...

I am really grooving on lemonade, and water with a little lemon or lime juice in it.
Sigh...how come some of the most simple and obvious things don't occur to me? :rolleyes: Hopefully my brain...

Thanks for all of the great ideas. :)
I think I will maybe try some romaine in them at first to start getting used to the taste, and work my way up. Sounds like a good plan.

I really want to try a green powder. I think it's a good idea for me since I don't really love eating alot of greens but want the nutritional benifits.
I pretty much just drink fruit smoothies, I...

Thank You :)

Ok, I looked at a few posts here and still am a little confused.
I get the impression that although freeze dried fruit is not RAW, it is LIVE. What's everyone's idea on this. Is it okay to eat?

I like the brown shelled coconuts (not sure of the specific name of these, if there even is one).

I have never seen an organic one in this variety. Do they exist? Are they naturally organic?

Great ideas guys, thanks.
Bobbie, I did try to make almond milk ONCE. I messed it up pretty bad. I just ended up with cloudy water.
I think I need some practice. :o (sigh....so much to learn.)

MMMM....Lemonade. I hadn't thought of that.
Rawkinlocks, I like that recipe you have for it, and the other recipes look amazing too!

Yeah, a little lemon or lime to the water sounds good too....

Wow StarFire!!! You girls are my heroes! :D I hope to have a great success story too.

Aside from juicing, smoothies, and water, is there anything else safe to drink? I'm tired of water day in and day out.
I don't have a juicer, smoothies are great but don't satisfy my thirst, and...

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome and the encouragement.

Vegan For Life, you look amazing! Congrats.

Starfire, I love your name too!

Thanks!
I don't think I'll be going near another one though. lol

Thanks for the info. :)

I feel like a moron for asking, I'm so new to this stuff.

Do Goji Berries and Cacao Nibs need to be soaked? Or just use them as is.
I would imagine they wouldn't need soaking, but I'd hate to...

I really want granola, but I don't have a dehydrator yet. ( I want to wait until I have the $ for an Excalibur.) Any suggestions on how to make some without it?


Sorry if this has been posted...

Ok, I was super excited to try one of these Thai Coconuts after hearing so many people rave about them, and I finally found them at a health food store.
So....What is the texture supposed to be like...
