Morning Energy Drink?
I'm transitioning to mostly raw and recently gave up caffeine. I got through the headache/withdrawal phase, but I'm missing that extra shot of energy to kickstart my morning that coffee gives me. Any ideas/suggestions?

I've been drinking something similar -- kale or spinach blended with fruit, but that doesn't seem to do it. I've never tried maca though -- what's it do? And why hot water with lemon?

lemon for its cleansing properties, hot water if you like something hot in the morning. i like the juice better than the smoothie because it gets some nutrients in me without having to wake up my digestion right away.
maca is supposed to fire up your energy, recharge your adrenals, and boost your libido. i have seriously lagging energy most of the time, and i find that when i stick maca in my energy soup, i don't fall asleep in the afternoon like i would otherwise. maca is great for smoothies, too.

I take wheat grass and spin it in my vitamix with a cup of water. Then I strain it and take the green water and add bananas and pinnaple. Very energising. It is my coffe.

do you strain the apples and bananas too? I'm worried about drinking fruits as juices because I was diagnosed pre-diabetic.

Nope, she strains it and THEN adds the fruit. So you're getting the whole fruit.

raw chai latte :: i do tons of these. might help!
raw honey, (you could use agave or dates or stevia)
coconut oil ( a little ),
nettle + mate tea warm, (could be any fav herb, ie, ginseng, cat's claw, etc)
and mac nut mylk (blend and strain mac nuts or don't strain if u r not texture-challenged)
super nourishing. sometimes i put burdock root juice, bee pollen etc in it.
you can sprinkle this with cacao butter, cacao powder (or make it with cacao powder), hemp seeds, a dash of sea salt.
verrrrry yum and nourishing!

Yes- they're called petechiae and I've always heard that they are liver-related. They can also be due to anemia and low platelet count. If you also bruise easily, that might be the likely cause.
I get them too and they come and go.
Pink Lady Apple,
I used to get those. I know exactly what they look like - they are tiny, they can vary in size, they are circular, flat, and very red. They do look like blood blisters, but flat!
I stop getting them after I did an extended water...
than?
Id love to try Noni.
