1 (ONE year ) since I started eating RAW foods

PhotobucketThis was one of my first recipes I ever made and it still is my favorite dessert of all time when I want a small munchie at night ;-)Here’s a delicious raw vegan donut hole recipe. Naturally sweetened with whole dates, and flavored with vanilla. Plus, coconut, which is a great source of eletrolytes.
1 cup almonds, dry
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 vanilla bean, scraped or 1 teas.Vanilla Extract
1 cup dried pineapple
chopItalic1 cup pitted dates
5 Tablespoons dried shredded coconut


MY raw life~I love it

I am proud to say that I am excited to say I started eating raw 1 year ago today.I first started out with green smoothies every day switching out the greens like kale,spianich,swiss chard and adding different things to make my smoothies sweet and tasty.I just added my favorite dessert in the photo section with Ani's Donut Holes My biggest problem at first was finding something I could eat and be satisfied with around the 8 pm hour.For some reason that is my bad time for a sweet treat.So I try and have a RAW DESSERT made item to keep me happy OR just have a big apple.That works for me too.I am loving raw and now that I am going itnto my second year eating raw I am adding lots of exercise,well a minimum of 1.5 hours at my YMCA.See I bought a pedometer and since we all should be getting 10,000 steps in a day,I felt I better put that rule into action.So that is my new thing Exercise.Oh Man

He's been juicing for over 2.5 months and has lost 203 lbs in his 1.5 years eating/juicing in the RAW.Aimee and I from raw food rehab got to talk with Dave once again and enjoyed every moment.Hugs to Dave~To all the Rawfoodies out there Enjoy.My story goes something like this:This is crazy .I had a larger mole and in Jan. 2009 that had lifted,drying up and a part was detached and crusty.Now I had it checked by a doctor.I am one impressed gal.I have had this mole for YEARS!!! Truly a miracle.Two years ago I was told this mole is nothing to worry about.Now I was a tad worried.Unless the body was curing itself! The mole looking thing on my breast was called Seborrhoeic keratoses.Gone, no signs that it ever was there.Cured by eating raw!So after 3 months at that time eating raw I added wheatgrass into my A.M about 3-5 days a week and after a few weeks that is when the Seborrhoeic keratoses left my body.Some of you have heard this story ,but its worth sharing.
