Raw Vegan Transition: My First Three Months

Transition To Raw Vegan

What I Learned So Far

• I worry less about proteins because I am getting the most nutrients, antioxidants, and enzymes I've ever received!
• I can't overeat nuts for protein. Nuts are high in fat.
• Rotate your greens; greens have protective qualities and can cause reactions.
• Stop worrying about acquiring the next shiny "kitchen appliance." 

 Things I Have Yet To Do

• Join a COOP or CSA for organic fruits and vegetables
• Finish my container garden (I'm late!)
• Buy "raw vegan" kitchen appliances  (knives, food processor, blender, juicers, dehydrator)
• Start Juicing

New Things I've Tried

• Green Smoothie (Arugula, Mango, Pineapple)
• Medjool Dates
• Papayas 
• Nutmilks
• Lots of Coconut Water
• Soaked & Dried Nuts & Seeds (Almond, Pumpkin, Walnuts)
