Thank you very much for your advice,

You're right, I really need to up my greens, I was being really good with them for a while but slipped out of it.

I will definately try all of that!

I think I need to cut down on the amount of fruit I eat. I know obviously fruit is healthy, but I don't think eating the amount I do at the moment (about half my daily calories are from fruit,...

I think that grapes are supposed to be very cleansing. Or figs. One of the two, because in RFRW I know there's a fig and grape cleansing shake!

(Raw) carob and cacao both taste awesome but to me they don't taste that similar. I like cacao on its own but I only really like carob with cacao. Carob makes chocolate things taste like chocolate...

Raw chocolate bars are in the region of £2.50 - £4.50, but you can get them in multipacks which cuts down on cost. Nakd bars are about £1.20 (the not really raw ones) and larabars are about the same...

Heh, I did barely any research and have only ever made my own kombucha... I've always used oolong or black tea and plain white sugar. I keep it in a cupboard in my room and I've never had any problem...

Get sprouting! Insanely cheap.

I sniff peppermint oil, drink peppermint tea etc. Works for me!

You can let them see for themselves - get them to make bread and see how hard it is to clean up the bowls and table top - imagine how it sticks to your stomach lining!

I would think about increasing the ratio of cacao or coconut butter to cacao powder...I've done that before by accident! I love my chocolate dark though :)

You can get raw wild jungle PB, but it is super expensive. You should try cashew butter, to me it is the closest to PB. You can get raw chocolate or make raw chocolate brownies, macaroons, etc. with...

Shazzie actually has that as a recipe called sweet spread...personally it tastes a bit weird to me!

I have it...It's very sweet and I think it tastes weird. I have powdered green stevia leaf.

Since September 07 I've been between 100% and 75% raw...I like eating around 90% raw... keeps me feeling good but still a little flexibility

Just wanted to update, I've finally made a definite decision about next year! Still hopeful about Farnborough so will work really hard to get the best grades I possibly can, but as that probably...

I've got mine from Shazzie (detoxyourworld.com) and from funkyraw.com. Shazzie ships worldwide I think but funkyraw is uk only. Shazzie's tasted better but the one on funkyraw was cheaper!

I make energy bars all the time but I never use a recipe, you just need to blend equal parts dried fruit with dry ingredients like nuts.

This is one I use a lot, it tastes like gingerbread.

Google the oil cleansing method, and oil pulling. When it comes to skin, it's all about oil!

Yeah I think visiting is a good idea, how do you think I should go about it?
Ask to look round and accost the principal in his office? :o
I think making a visit would show them I'm not giving up!

Oh yeah it's fantastic isn't it. We went to NY in October and eating there was the best bit of the holiday! I'd fly 7 hours just to go there again :)

Thank you very much for your feedback and responses everyone!

It's not a university, it's a sixth form college (so for 16-18 year olds) - so it's not that big of a deal really but it seems it...

Thanks! Chocolate-covered things is a nice idea. I can use the cacao butter to bring up the melting point a bit, although I'm not traveling anywhere warm so I think the coconut butter would be ok too!

I want to make my boyfriend either a raw chocolate selection box-type thing, or a raw chocolate cake for his birthday. I need to make it tomorrow so I don't really have time to get more ingredients,...

Thank you for your replies!
Crystalmoon, that sounds like an awesome idea and ideally that is what I would love to do, but as I am going with my parents, my brother and his friend and my boyfriend I...

Make sure you drink plenty of water! I'd also watch out for dried fruits and nuts, I'm sure this isn't the case for everyone but if I eat a lot of dried foods it's tough on my digestive system. My...
