This is what I juiced for breakfast this morning: an entire head of romaine, a lemon, two small apples, four stalks of celery, and a chunk of ginger. I’ve been having this (or a slight variation) most mornings since I got my juicer, and I’ve noticed a few things changing. My taste for vegetables has…

The idea that we make ourselves sick
As many of you guys already know, I’m a big fan of the raw food movement. I’ve met several raw foodists, and their health and vitality is incredible. I don’t necessarily think everyone needs to eat an all-raw diet, but I think we’d all be a lot healthier if we ate more raw veggies and…
All this healthy juice is making me feel weird
I just got done drinking about 20 ounces of Green Lemonade (a whole head of romaine, kale, a lemon, and two apples). I feel…….weird.

So I’m selling the Champion, and the Breville has…

In fact, I can hear that alarm going off upstairs right now….. I woke up feeling refreshed, cheerful, and my body…
Green smoothie before bed; the best medicine
I’ve been eating horribly the last few weeks, which is about how long I’ve been in school. I’m sure these two things are connected. When stressed, I go toward the familiar foods, and I’ve been eating loads and loads of high-fat carbs, chicken (ugh), and sugar. I’ve gained three pounds. I can feel it around…
What do people look like when they’ve lived on raw foods for a few decades?
Joan Pick lives in England, is 67 years old, a former scientist and member of Mensa, and runs wherever she needs to go. She hasn’t been in a car in years. She’s been living on raw food for ages, which I’m guessing accounts for her energy and her glow. Look at those rosy cheeks, and…
