Hi,
I work for a small farm in central California and we sell real raw 2009 new crop almonds for $8.00 a pound. They are certified organic and untreated. You can call 1-877-3-RAW-NUTS to order.
It's really good in phase 1 green smoothies with avocado, cilantro, cucumber and celery. More like a soup.
Way better than Starbucks!
I've never tried it, but it makes total sense. After all, a lot of cooked greens get dressed with a bit of vinegar just before eating and raw greens with a bit of vinegar on is quite nice too.
I enjoyed my time at the Sanctuary. If you can try to get one of the houses that face onto the ocean. So soothing to hear the sounds of the waves all night.
The only thing I didn't like was the Friday night parties, not held at the Sanctuary, but...
thanks for the tip Will, looks awesome :p
Here is a good one in NJ but worth the trip, very professional, he really takes his time, interested in your history first, understands the benefits of raw vegan nutrition:

I guess I'll amend this with asking if anyone has a doctor who is either vegetarian or vegan or raw themselves? Someone who "gets" it. I feel like so many doctors hear you don't eat meat and try to guilt you back with outdated misinformation.
It's the accepts insurance part that's the hardest! I know two MD's that are very holistically minded but neither accepts insurance. I really liked Marjorie Ordene but she is way out in Midwood, Brooklyn. Because of where she's located her rates a...
Hey, can anybody in NYC recommend any holistic doctors, GPs? I need to find one, and I'm having a hard time finding one online. I want someone who can be a good blend of both western and alternative approaches, and accepts insurance. Thanks!
Oh, definitely... ACV in a smoothie is great!
Besides my raw soda recipe variations, ACV is just great in savory smoothies to give them a delicious zing.
arent even those "pasteurized"--though they claim to have a new "state of the art" pasteurization system that uses a vacuum chamber instead of steam....thus leaving the almonds raw. (?)
You guys are the best, thanks!
ha!

Finding Balance
So, I've been having a LOT more success lately with my transition diet ... cold turkey was not working for me (Jeckyll & Hyde eating habits) so now I'm only buying raw groceries, doing my green smoothies, and eating vegetarian when I'm out and about.
I'm not having my fast food freak outs anymore, and socially its a lot easier. I eliminated all coffee/soda a year ago, so that's good. I'm wondering what element I should try to eliminate next: dairy? I've stopped drinking milk, a biggie for m… Continue

Transitioning - Jeckyll and Hyde Syndrome (JHS)
First blog post, woo hoo!
So, long story short, I got into raw foods after completing a 9-day fast/cleanse at a resort called The Sanctuary on an island in Thailand this past January (buy your plane tickets now, it is unreal). While I was there I did yoga everyday, a spa treatment everyday, coffee colonic everyday, and spent my free time reading from their holistic nutrition library, while sipping young coconut joice and lazing on the beach. Pretty perfect. And it changed my life.

I would like to now list the benefits I have experienced since being on a low fat raw vegan lifestyle....
* Easily maintain a healthy weight, gaining weight is DIFFICULT unless I eat salt (which i haven't for 2years)
* Very quick recovery from i...
I would do it. if i lived there. which is where i want to live...
sub-acids are my favourite - but they bastards don't leave the tops on them and i can't plant them.... i must go to a sub-acid farm and steal some!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
You're suppose to be able to pick the leaf out of the middle - and it comes out realllllllll easy - if it's ripe.
It should smell ripe too.
pineapple eats everyone. Its true. Aloe vera water maybe?
Your dog is sooo cute! I have a dog too and two cats, and I looove them! I feed them wheatgrass and they actually choose that before regular grass wich they normally chew on in the garden.
I decided to have a 50/50 raw/cooked meal at Vita last night, having had a desire for warm meals for last couple of weeks. They had a Vegan Paella, it was amazing but it's only the second time I have had grains for a year and I had headache soon a...
ahhh thanks kelly I'll give it a try I'll look it up on youtube too
It's actually surprisingly easy once you get the hang of it. No machete required. Shave off the husk at the pointed top close to the shell. Then poke the point of a knife in about 2 or 3 cm out from the centre and wiggle it about until it pierces ...
Isn't it?!? I personally can't think of anything more visually appealing then beautiful fruit :)
"Nice" to see that I'm not alone in this. I think I'll be going for a short water fast then. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, I believe two out of the four pineapples I've had the last several months have been alright with me, after having let them "ripen" for some days. The one that turned out the best was one I stored in a bag of ripening bananas. I did the same t...
