I found an amazing blog that I'd love to share with you. She has so many amazing raw recipes that I just have to share this goldmine!! Her name is Natalia and you can enter her blog here . Sign up for her mailing list and you will get an amazing free e-book with some pretty fantastic recipes. Also click on her recipe page and be prepared for some wonderful raw entrees you can add to your collection of recipes. Today I made her "Clean & Green" whole fruit juice for part of my lunch. It was so crisp, clean and refreshing that I wanted to share her recipe with you. I love the idea of making a green juice using the high speed blender vs the juicer. Clean up was a breeze and I really felt satisfied having all of the fiber in the juice. I hope that you will try it too and also go check out her wonderful blog. Clean & Green by NataliaKM.com Serves 1 1 C fresh squeezed OJ 1 green apple, core and chop (I used an organic Fiji) 2 stalks celery (I used organic)

I have not read Doug's book but have been following several raw foodists who eat this way and it is pretty basic. I gave up oils several weeks ago and have been consuming no nuts, only occasionally some soaked seeds.
