This is fun! And hard

[Guest guest]

My name is Therese and I've been in this group for a month or so.

I've also been reading online food journals about raw eating. I have

juiced on and off for years and been staying away from processed

foods but I need to incorporate some variety.

 

Some of my concoctions have fallen short. I tried to make salad

dressing by putting an avacado, kale, lemon juice, olive oil, and

pressed garlic into my blender. It all fell beneath the blades and

fot stuck. It all seems so easy when I read about these things.

 

Also, I bought Medjool dates because I saw where someone made a

pudding of dates, banana and something else (Iforgot what else).

I can't juice 'em and I can't blend 'em. I have a coffee grinder for

herbs and seeds but I don't think I can put mushy stuff

in it.

 

I bought some raw, organic groceries at Trader Joe's. Can you give

me some ideas as to how to prepare them? (either in this group or at

meinelkgrove)

 

Here's what I'm not sure what to do with:

 

pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, walnuts, almonds, cashews

wild blueberries, bananas, lemons, apples, prunes, dates

spinach, kale, butter lettuce

 

I could grind the seeds but then what do I do with them? I've just

been adding them to salads. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

p.s. If anyone lives in Sacramento, I'll gladly buy you a juice in

exchange for some tips.

Something that has really worked for me, Therese, is a VitaMix..It makes

wonderful smoothies and juices and also grinds all seeds into flour or butters

or whatever you want. It is quite expensive, but I couldn't live without it. I

use it three times a day to make date smoothies with frest almond milk and

organic carob etc..I can get you the phone number if you are interested. I also

use my food processor quite a bit. Hang in there..It will get better..Gaynell
