Lots of the " gourmet " type raw recipes can indeed keep one in the kitchen

longer than traditional food prep. I rarely ever do any of those. Partly

because they can take so long! But partly because it is too much on the

digestion.

I had not heard of the 5-5-5 thing that Sparrow mentioned, but most of what

I fix would fit that bill, or thereabouts, I think. I'd say it's a pretty

sound guide to go by. Eating simply certainly works best for me.

Sparrow,

Thanks so much for the raw recipes!  They look great.

I had a question for you or whoever would know....What could I use as a

substitute for Thai coconut milk - too expensive; and nama shoyu - I'm not

supposed to do soy because of thyroid issues.

Thanks, sherry

Yes, usually with another frozen fruit as well. Banana-mango is my

current favorite.

You'll want to start the food processor carefully, holding it with one

hand, if you've left the bananas in large pieces to start with or else

the processor can fling itself across the room, especially if a big

chunk of banana gets wedged on the tip of an s-blade (yeah, yeah, you

can avoid this by slicing the frozen bananas but I'm lazy.)

At first it looks like it won't work and you'll just have gravel, but

let the processor keep running. If it goes too long, shut it off a

minute or two and then start it again so you don't overheat the motor.

You'll know it's ready when it looks all creamy and soft-serve.

Depending on the recipe, almond milk might work well. You can make

almond milk more creamy by using less water.

You might try different things, depending on what the nama shoyu is

meant to impart. Sea salt, if it's there for saltiness. A vinegar, if

it's there for tang. Or if it's a minor flavor note, you could try

just leaving it out.

I went out and thinned my daikon radish plants from 5 down to 2, so I had 3

plants' worth of leaves with which to make a green smoothie. The first thing

I've eaten from this year's garden. Yummy
