I have gone 80-90% raw and I feel so good. Lots of energy. Its summer and its easy to live mostly on fruit and salad, with tastes of other things. I eat a bit of meat as I cook for my family, but have cut out dairy completely.
I have some raw cook books, including Rawlicious. Just wondering what might be out there for the TM that I haven't discovered.
By the way, green smoothies rock. I make green juices and green smoothies in the TM every day, for the whole family.
Green smoothie recipe: 40% leafy greens (cos lettuce, kale, baby spinach etc) and 60% fruit (bananas, mangoes, blueberries etc). Blend and drink- tastes like fruit but has the goodness of greens.
Green juice- I pick some kale leaves and mint leaves from the garden and blend with two cut up whole apples, with some water. Then I strain and drink. Yum.
thanks

Hey SunStone, you're doing really well to be 80-90% raw! I am impressed. I range between 50 to 75%...
As well as Rawlicious, Thermomix's Taste of Vegetarian cookbook has quite a few raw recipes in it. In fact, just inside the back cover of the Rawlicious booklet is a list of the raw recipes in Taste of Vegetarian. And a note at the bottom of that list says there are many other raw recipes in the Everyday cookbook and the Gluten Free, Wheat Free Cooking book. I have both the Vegetarian and Gluten/Wheat free cookbooks but haven't yet worked through them looking for raw recipes.
It would be great to know which raw cook books you've found. For me apart from Rawlicious, I've found the following ones:-
Two that I own:-
“12 Steps to Raw Foods” by Victoria Boutenko
“Rawsome” by Brigitte Mars
and two that I borrowed from the library:-
"The Raw Food Gourmet" by Gabrielle Chavez
"The Power House Diet" by Leslie Kenton
Plus I've found various web sites through Google. The best one I've found recently is Raw Sacramento Recipes at http://www.rawsacramento.net/recipes.htm which has day to day recipes rather than the special occasion gourmet recipes. I'm currently working my way through these.
I'm also impressed with how well you're doing with the green juices. I haven't yet got them into a daily habit. But whenever I've tried them they have worked out well.
