Fresh Dates from 7HotDates.com!

 
Buying fresh dates is great! The prices are very comparable, if not the same or better than conventional dried dates in your area, plus the fresh dates are fresh, organic, high quality, and flavorful! There are lots of varieties of fresh dates to choose from, I like a lot of different varieties of dates =). If you eat a lot of dates on a daily basis, then this is a great place to shop for fresh dates because you can get great quality for a great price!
If you are beginning a raw vegan plant based lifestyle, then having a lot of calories from fruit is essential! So buying fruit in bulk is not only cheaper but you will have enough to sustain yourself! Enjoy =)
PS- A lot of the "firm" halawy and khadrawy dates have the texture of the candy starburst, which just makes them even better!!!

Cranberry Smoothie

I made this video right after Hurricane Sandy, and we still had no power. That's why it's so dark! We had a generator so I made a lot of smoothies at once and have them throughout the day. This way the frozen fruit wouldn't go to waste, because I would eat them in my smoothies!

Checkout my cranberry smoothie. The recipe includes bananas, strawberries, and cranberries! Put in as little or as many cranberries as you like! Keep in mind the more cranberries you put in, the more tart it will be.
See my reaction to my first cherimoya!

Raw Vegan "Chocolate" Covered Strawberries!

I used to dip my strawberries into sugar and eat them. Now, this recipe tastes even better and is so much more valuable to your health! All I do is cover my strawberries with dates, check out the video to see! =)

My Favorite Green Smoothie

I made one of my favorite green smoothies! 

Green smoothies have so many benefits: help with digestion and elimination, you eat more greens, they're very filling. They also have chlorophyll with the green color, and are very nutrient dense! Kale is the most nutrient dense green. Green smoothies are great ways to get your kids, family, and friends to get more fruit, greens, and even veggies in their diets. Green smoothies are delicious, quick, simple, and contain all of the nutrients of the fruit, greens, and veggies. Green smoothies can be breakfast, lunch, or even dinner! Green smoothies can also be a snack. Green smoothies are very filling, and leave you satisfied every time.Go for the green! Yay green smoothies ! =)

My favorite green smoothie recipe:
4-6 leaves of kale, no stem
*3 cups of water
2 asian pears
5 bananas, frozen
handful of baby arugula (if you like the nutty flavor!)

Enjoy! =)

Raw Results! 100% Raw or none at all?

Checkout my final interview video with Harley aka Durianrider on youtube at the Woodstock Fruit Festival 2012. We talk about the importance of giving raw foods time, and that way you will get the results you desire. It just takes time for your body to regenerate and for hormone levels to rebalance. Also, it's ok if you are not 100% raw! Who said you had to be? It's about eating as much fruits and vegetables as possible! That way you will feel your best, have lots of energy, and look your best =)
