Hi guys,
I've recently begun adding raw fruit and vegetables to my diet and believe I am ready to try 90 days on only raw food. I'm going to get some good raw 'cook' books... but would any of you like to share some of your favorite foods? I personally love raw okra (my boyfriend thinks this is disgusting!) :)

MoreThis is a reply to # 27,722I use a lot of bean sprouts as they are cheap. You grow them yourself so they are really fresh, healthy and high in all the minerals and vitamins you need, not forgetting enzyms.
A juicer will also help. Get yourself a good book on juicing and have a go at making your own cocktails.
One of my favorites is :-
2 Carrots
2 Apples (Gala)
1 Orange
1 Pear
1/2 a lemon
Put them together and juice the lot.

This is a reply to # 27,722Hi Fiz! I am also transitioning to raw. I am finishing up my Master-Cleanse in a few days, and getting things ready for 100% raw. I have tried high raw in the past, but the cravings for cooked food just wont stop. I am truly addicted to cooked foods. I like the idea of 90 days. I have committed myself to 30 days 100% raw, but plan to continue after that. I want this to be how I eat forever!
Today I made some raw tropical applesauce. This is something my kids (raised on SAD and resisting raw) request and LOVE to eat.
I made it today because my local store had produce bagged for "quick sale". I bought 3 bags of apples (about 4 pounds each), a 4 pound bag of bananas, and a bag of green grapes. Each bag was $.99, so I only spent about $5!
I filled my dehydrator with 1 bag of apples and a few bananas. Then I filled my Vitamix 1/2 full with apples, added 1 1/2 bananas and filled up with apples. I squeezed some orange juice (pineapple juice works great too) and added a little. I start the Vitamix on Variable and 5. Then I add more juice as needed (try not to add too much or you'll get a smoothie) and turn it up to about 6. When it's the right consistency, serve. I keep the extra in a mason jar in the fridge for a day or two (its never lasted longer than that.
Keep us posted on your transition! And if you want to email me, feel free. I am keeping a daily journal of what I eat and events/feelings that affect my transition.

Thanks for the reply, Roni! I applaud your discipline in doing the MC. Right now I am finding it too overwhelming to really do any of the recipes in the raw "cook" books I have found.. I am transitioning almost cold turkey from the SAD. I aim to do raw for several months and then allow some cooked vegetables and some gluten free breads back into my diet.
At the moment all I can find that I like is raw okra and fruits!! I have been eating a couple bananas a day (they really help when I'm feeling weak), some carrots, apples, oranges, and raw corn. My taste buds are still used to cooked food and refuse the really pungent 'wild' flavor of sprouts and celery. I have heard that sprouts you grow yourself taste much better than grocery store sprouts, so I am going to try to grow them this week. It looks really fun, because I am already a houseplant lover. :) I hate to say this but... I HATE LETTUCE! I have tried and tried to make myself eat salads. But I can't stand the feel of lettuce in my mouth. It makes me gag. Every time I try to chew the lettuce I picture my pet Iguana mouthing on a leaf of Romaine. Ergghh..

This is a reply to # 27,726I am ending my Master-Cleanse on Day 9 due to a prolonged headache. I have some functions to attend starting tomorrow night and I can't even drive anymore!
As of 10 minutes ago, I finished 8 24 hr days on the fast, so I guess in the morning I'll start with my orange juice.
I did go to the health food store in Sacramento while I was running errands that couldn't be put off (headache or no headache!) I bought about $60 of produce and bulk flax seeds. I also bought one container of olives (not sure if these are raw, but for now they'll work). I already have about 4 pounds of raw nuts, and my dehydrated apples and bananas are just about done. I think I'm in good shape to start my rawfood commitment.
Tomorrow will need to be a liquid day, but I may eat a few grapes in the evening. Then I'm looking forward to some simple salad with just lettuce/tomato/avocado. I have about 8 avos left out of the 11 I bought on sale. They are not quite ripe, but hubby ate a few anyway.
OH- I BOUGHT MY FIRST YOUNG THAI COCONUT. I'll have to wait a few days until I can handle it, but that was exciting. I also bought a Chermoya, which I have never even seen before. They had them on sale (still $3.99/lb, so about $4 for it.) My son picked out a "Manila Mango". It's all yellow. It will be interesting trying these new items.
