The other day when I was looking through all the articles that had to do with nutrition, I noticed that none Have fun looking at these recipes and don't be afraid to try them. I know some of them sound pretty bad, but I found them to be shockingly good.

If you are interested in learning more about the book "Raw Power", please e-mail me and I will let you know where you can find it. Remember that these are just suggestions and you can change or modify them to your liking. For example, I like adding a little protein powder to the fruit smoothie. You still will get all the nutrients from the raw food with the added protein. What a deal! So have fun trying these recipes and making your own.
Good luck! Recommend this article to a friend by e-mail here!
