Do you drink milk or any dairy?

[GreenSmoothieGirl]

I don't drink cow milk, and I usually substitute almond or rice milk in recipes calling for it. I do use cultured dairy products, like homemade kefir and yogurt (recipes and information about that in Ch. 8 of my book 12 Steps to Whole Foods).

ok i definitely need a dehydrator now :)

[GreenSmoothieGirl]

Mine's like $200, but never fear--I have heard there's a decent American Harvest one at WalMart for $39. That'll be great if you're not feeding a big fam like I am and planning to use it tons, sometimes for two recipes at a time.

Also, why on Earth would you use pre-diced garlic?!?! It's not hard to peel a few cloves of FRESH garlic. Not only is the jarred stuff devoid of flavor, but all those beneficial things that make garlic so good for you have oxidized right out - and continue to do so exposed to light inside the jar ! You wouldn't make one of your smoothies using old produces would you?

[GreenSmoothieGirl]

Well, when you're making 3-4 new recipes daily along with writing a book, raising four competitive athletes, teaching at a university, and running a publishing company, you look for shortcuts. SO many of my recipes call for garlic, that stuff's been a lifesaver. It's still good for you with pre-diced garlic, and it really has all the flavor. But you're right--always better fresher!

@whiskeymedic My thoughts exactly, I am a die hard making things from scatch, and processed garlic was the last thing I am thinking.

I found this to be very helpful. Thank you for posting.

To all the people questioning why she doesnt give you the exact amounts like a recipe:

Maybe because she includes the recipe in a program she is selling. You know, youre surfing through videos on nutrition and stumble across hers. You get just enough info that you are intrigued and you buy the program. Pretty good idea. I like all yor videos Robyn. Keep up the good work.

Enzymes aren't killed, they are proteins that become denatured and therefore destroyed.

@GreenSmoothieGirl I also drink only almond milk and it is Wonderful in a granola cereal or just by itself, cashew milk is quite tasty too.

I ve never had a bag of flax go rancid! I'd like to know if flax stays fresh after being opened and stored in the frig? I have a bag that I've had for a while and it seems to still be fresh. Is there a foul smell that they put off if they are rancid?

The whole flax seeds go right through our body, they are not digested. You can eat some and watch what comes to the other end; the whole seeds will be intact. However, these crackers have their own benefits, they fill us, give us a nice taste and nutrition from the other ingredients. If you want the benefit of flax seeds, you should grind them each time you want to eat them. Flax seeds get rancid very fast, and once rancid they become very toxic. Grind them in a coffee grinder.

Flax's lignan is not "just started to be studied". Buy Dr. Jahanna Budwig's books [available on Amazon] and see that she's been using flax seed oil combined with cottage cheese [quark] to cure cancer and other diseases since 1950.

If the American doctors would really want to know the benefits of flax on health, instead of spending millions of dollars on "research" they should really studies her work, her discoveries and her diet for curing cancer and other diseases.

Why don't you tell what is the exact amount measurements you are putting in your raw food cracker recipes for those who are learning how to make them?
