Welcome to the RAW Cleanse! You are here because YOU want to be here! You’re either looking for a short cleanse (1-3 days) or a longer cleanse (14 days) or an even LONGER cleanse (30 days and beyond). Whichever the length of your cleanse is, you will benefit with huge results!
Clearer Skin
Regularity
Shiny Hair
Stronger Nails
And so much more!
This Raw Cleanse will cleanse your body of toxins and rid your mind of old habits of poor food choices. You’ll learn the power of Raw and the importance it has on our overall health.
Take this journey one day at a time and don’t rush it! Enjoy the meals you make! Enjoy the decisions you are making. Let the food take care of you!
You will be surprised on what will come out of eating 100% Raw ☺
I imagine all of you went grocery shopping this weekend for preparation for the next few days. Lots of fresh fruits, fresh veggies, frozen fruit for easy to make smoothies and leafy greens for salads. I know! I know!! Salads may seem boring… but feel free to dazzle them up!! Add some red peppers, cucumber, tomato, avocado, sunflower seeds, dates, dices carrots, the sky is the limit.
Raw is anything prepared under 118 degrees. So if you’re wanting to dehydrate, keep the thermostat set at 117.
If anyone is new to juicing, and doesn't have a juicer... no sweat!!! Add water to a blender, your washed produce (cucumber, zucchini, celery, apple... etc.), blend it all up, then run all the liquid through a paint straining bag (or nut milk bag) to remove all the excess pulp. Discard the pulp and what is left is the JUICE!!! You may have to run the juice through the bag a time or two, but it's super easy and I find to be a lot of fun (especially with the kids).
I’ve had a lot of requests for salad dressings. I have to say that I personally recommend Kristen Suzanne’s book: Easy Raw Vegan Salads & Dressings. This book has amazing recipes that are easy to make in the kitchen. You can find the book on Amazon or by going to KristensRaw.com
Another great book to have handy to you is Raw Food Real World. This book has been a tool that I have used in the kitchen many many times when prepping Raw Recipes.
The best way to assess how many calories per day you eat is by keeping track. A great way to do this is by writing it down. Keeping a food diary is more than just writing it down. It will help you become aware of the foods you are eating and how often... it way also give you insight as to WHY you are eating them.

MY 100th POST!!
Wow!! 100 posts and 100 more to come!!
Second, I want to thank my two beautiful girls who have given me nothing but love. They treat me like a Super Hero Mommy!! As if I can't ever do anything wrong :) In their innocent little eyes, I AM their hero! I'm so blessed to have been given the role as a Mother... I couldn't have asked for a greater happiness. These two little Princess's keep megrounded and always on my toes to be a better example. As we continue to grow together, and continue to learn from each other, these two girls willalways be the fire in my heart that will drive me to greater success!! Nothing can top the love that a Mother possesses for her children! I LOVE you GIRLS and am extremely thankful for the two little hearts that beat so curiously for life itself :)
Thank you Kristen Suzanne for being a tremendous friend to me and someone that I can go to for advice on training as a Vegan, advice on eating Raw, great recipes to share with my precious family and for a nice girl talk with endless giggles. You have been there for me through thick and thin. We may have had our differences and voiced them aggressively at times, but we are one of a kind friends and have built a solid friendship that will last a lifetime. Without your loyal friendship, I wouldn't know what I know today. I'm truly blessed to have an amazing and warm hearted friend as YOU!
