 Not feeling well, digestiveley speaking, from that evil wheat crust!! I'm not eating much today, need to get things a rollin again if yah know what I mean.

 Worked out late today, right before bed actually. I know that is the worst time to, but our schedule today was a bit out of sequence. Better to do it than not, right?

 Hit repeat and did it a second time!!!

 To cool down and work the arms at the same time I did this Tracy Anderson routine; beautiful, soothing music:

+JMJ+ Today I am grateful for making it through my workout tonight. My mind was trying to tell me to skip it but I ignored that and did it even though I felt like total crap!!

I am jumping in late! What is the raw shred? Does it last a finite amount of time? The blends always look so beautiful!

Hello Terri,
I just made it up as a way to make some changes to my workout routines. I am trying to get more muscle definition and strength and always feel the best when I keep my diet as high raw as possible. I also wanted to incorporate some intermittent fasting. I knew that now was the time...I listen to my inner voice ;)
Here is the link to Day 1 that explains why I am doing this.

Hope that helps answer your question!
Peace & Raw Health,

The other day I came across an article, by Thomas Stearns Lee, NMD, which contained recipes for seed cheese and seed yogurt. His recipes call for Rejuvelac and sunflower seeds, but as usual I improvised and used things I had on hand and created the same end result!  I decided to make the savory Seed Yogurt to be used as a base in my salad dressings or sauces. It was incredibly easy and delicious.  ▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️ Pumpkin Seed Yogurt By Elizabeth @rawlivingandlearning.blogspot.com 1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds (or raw sunflower seeds) 1/3 cup raw sesame seeds 8 ounces of filtered water 2 vegan probiotic capsules Pinch of Real Salt 1 tsp fresh lemon juice Soak the seeds for 6 hours.

Raw Vegan Spring Rolls

RAW VEGAN SPRING ROLLS By Elizabeth www.rawlivingandlearning.blogspot.com Yesterday was another fun day of creating raw, vegan recipes. I was determined to make an alternative to rice paper wrappers when making spring rolls. The texture of this raw, red cabbage is amazing! I couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. It is a simple two step recipe to tenderize the red cabbage all the while preserving the essential enzymes and nutrients that raw cabbage possesses. The many health benefits of raw cabbage motivates me to always try and eat it uncooked. But sometimes I prefer it soft vs crunchy, and here is the perfect way to enjoy it.  The first step was to cut out the tough core at the bottom of the cabbage. I then cut about a third of one side off so I could more easily separate the cabbage leaves. Next I placed 7 cabbage leaves in a square glass dish and filled it with water. I then placed this dish in the very bottom of my Excalibur dehydrator.  On the top rack I

Simplifying the Concept of Proper Food Combining

Watch Dr. Clement from Hippocrates Health Institute discuss food combining in a very simple way. His explanation is the one that really stuck, I get confused by the fancy food combing charts out there. He gives you the nuts and bolts of proper combining. Enjoy! Please note that I am terrible at food combining. I eat things together that shouldn't go together, because they taste good together, with the exception of melons; I only eat melons alone!!! I cannot have them with anything else or I double over in pain and bloat. I am a work in progress and some day I will practice proper food combining. If you'd prefer to red about food combing, just look at this info I found at http://www.raw-food-health.net/Raw-Food-Combining.html Raw Food Combining: Your Options Your options for raw food combining fall into 11 categories based not on culinary classifications, but on the actual composition of the food. If you're eating well, though, there are only really eight c
