wow.... 7 bananas in a smoothie... that pretty much fills up my 64oz blender with nothing else in it.

and how big exactly is a bunch of spinach? or a head of kale or collard?

When I buy a...

Recent thinking is that all that loose skin is nothing more than fat. Over time, with a decline in food (caloric) intake, the fat will be gone and the skin will tighten up.

An example of proof of...

If there is anything I hate, it is judgemental people.

for $14.63 you can buy an all-stainless 50 ounce wide-mouth thermos at Wal-Mart to pack your smoothies with you for the day. I bought two of them.

I bought a brand new Nesco "Professional" hydtrator at the local Farm & Fleet store (it is a chain) yesterday for $35.99

It came with 5 trays.... and they have additional trays for sale for...

Irisha....

you mention potatoes in the first paragraph... but, then you mention carrots in the list of ingredients... but, don't tell us how to incorporate the carrots?

Or maybe you meant to...

I have drifted into the raw foods realm just since August. The big change in my diet is that I now drink 4 quarts of green smooothies a day. I am not anywhere near 100% raw, and I really don't know...

good lord.... I just realized that I eat continuously all day long. I get up at 4:30am and go to bed at 11pm. It seems my life revolves around food. I always have something close at hand to put in my...

Ya know... it is funny how our needs manifest in ways we do not expect.

We know what we should do (how we should eat and live, etc.)

but, for some reason we get sidetracked.

But, being...

Oh well. Venting is good.

Perhaps your Mom just wants to have an event where she is not saddled with food preparation... it is great that you are looking forward to helping prepare the feast......

I can only address the question you presented in the title of this thread... and the condition of my teeth these days as assessed by my new dentist.

I am 60 years old. Lots of fillings. I had lots...

The Krups or Kitchenaid either one will blend all those things... it just takes a little longer.

I happened to look at the Krups blender at Linens & Things last evening. For a 1000 watt blender, I was suprised to see the blender blade is strikingly small in the Krups.

Imagine my surprise to...

I don't miss that feeling like a beached whale after eating Thanksgiving dinner. Although I don't think I am even more than 50% raw at this point (hey I just embarked on this raw journey a couple...

Okay... I am going to peel and then cube and then <gasp> roast some butternut squash in my convection oven (that I paid an obscene amount of money for and it is not getting much use these days).
...

Okay... I am not totally raw. Maybe today I am 50% raw.

Anyway.... I got into blending raw foods kinda by accident about 2 months ago. I had to do my annual checkup thing with my physician two...

No, not quieter. They just don't have the same sound. They are quite obviously not the same machine on the inside.

Well, I didn't answer your question.

No... I don't see why you need a 3hp blender to get all the "phytochemicals" out of the fruits or anything you put in it. The 2hp Vitamix will blend stuff...

I have a Vita-Prep 3hp blender. A friend of mine has the Vita-Mix 5000. The blenders sound very different in operation, but the 5000 will still disintegrate anything you put in it to where you can...

I have several greens in my fridge right now. Kale, spring green, rapini, broccoli, spinach.

One concoction I seem to be returning to most often is some blend of those same greens... mostly...

Only recently have I embarked on a partially raw diet... and only recently have I started washing the produce I obtain.

I have eaten a lot of apples and grapes without washing. Never gave it a...

Here is something else to consider....

If you eat the diet of a 300 pound person, you will weigh 300 pounds. If you eat what a 220 person eats, you will weight 220 pounds. If you eat the diet of...

Okay... so I bought a bunch of kale at a rather attractive price last weekend. I filled a big bowl and dunked it and dunked it to wash it... and then put it in a colander to drain.

Big bunch of...

After having the same... ummm... problem... after starting to follow a more raw lifestyle, I did some research on google regarding bananas. Apparently green bananas can plug you up, while ripe...

One of my favorite all-time foods is butternut squash roasted until it is burnt on the edges. (okay okay so I am not a raw food purist) I peel it, and cube it in 1" cubes, toss with olive oil, salt,...
