Yeah I have to agree that slightly warming up raw soups can help take the chill away. And I have to admit being more liberal with cayenne in raw soups really help! I can feel it in my tummy.
I would avoid eating food straight out of the fridge, l...
Aww Bunny, this is just what I needed. It's pretty chilly here in Tokyo. I'll make this smoothie today!
Fall means red leaves, lotsa snuggling, cozy duvets, and crisp air.
Fave fall recipe: I think it would be Kirsten Suzanne's Harvest Soup, but...
Hmm I think I am lucky that I don't like the taste of meat, so what I cook is usually meat and serve a salad for us to share. I only do un-baking and my partner doesn't eat carbs, so I don't have many temptations at home. My real downfalls are pas...
I have found the same thing at times. Fat makes me tired in general, but it combines better with acid (citrus, pineapple) or sub-acid (apples, pears) than sweet fruit (bananas, dates). And of course overeating doesn't do good things for energy! :-...
Tawny that is another thought. The changing season to cooler air could be making me more tired. I'm originally from the tropics so the cold season never sits well with me.
The other things that are not raw food related are: exercise and sleep. I ...
Maybe they are using their new super powered blender. Matt apologized to Vitamix owners recently, saying he did not want to hurt their feelings so had delayed revealing his new find. Then he touted the new super duper, best blender carafe in the w...
Hmm, maybe too much of it at once is too strong for you. I don't like pungent smells either, but a sprinkle of hemp seeds in a salad gives it a slightly nutty flavour when you pour a nice dressing over. Or try Kirsten Suzanne's Hemp Nacho Dip: htt...
That's true, Debra. I do try not to mix nut with fruit in the daytime but I may have a sweet dessert after dinner. But I was surprised that avocado with fruit could make me feel so bad. Perhaps I was very full, too, and that could've contributed t...
Hi astro.
hmmm, I know that combining green smoothies with carrots, beets, broccoli stems, zucchino, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, squash, okra, peas, corn and green bean GIVES YOU GAS. ( according to Victoria Boutenko, who I am quoting) so I can...
Hmmm this woman made a custard type pie for a rawluck I went to and she used Irish moss...it tasted OK so maybe she used less. Matt seems to like to dump stuff in the blender w/o measuring...
I know you're not supposed to have fruit after anything because fruit digests the fastest and if there's something already in your stomach it just sits there and ferments. The only exception I have heard is bananas but I am all new to this.
I kno...
Hmm, that's an idea. I'll write to Matt and ask him about the powder.
Perhaps it's like hemp powder, too — small doses are good, large ones bad. I got one of those samples in my raw booty from this same store and was excited to try it. I dumped i...
I LOVE young coconuts too so can appreciate your enthisasum over them! My mother buys them for me as presents now! And husband doesn't really like the meat (apart from if it's in a smoothie) but I adore just picking at it fot a snack.....have to be carful not to drop any on the floor though otherwise my dog just gobbles it us!
I just read your comment to the discussion 'Staying ground while staying raw'. Try adding 1/4 of a cup of soaked nuts, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds to your morning smoothie.
