It's good to switch up things from time to time, so choose what is currently in your area (if it comes to fruits and greens) and if you finish a bag of chlorella then buy something else and use it for a while. 2-3 bananas berries/other seasonal subacid fruits loads of greens - spinach, parsley, dandelion greens, kale, celery for fats I'd also do hemp seeds (also packed with protein), chia or freshly grounded flax seeds others - personally chlorella (but from a seriously good source), maca, raw cacao nibs, raw vegan protein powder if you're an athlete (although I don't think it's necessary), coconut water (<3) and I usually add fresh turmeric root My todays morning smoothie: 3 bananas cup of berries 2 stalks of celery, few handfuls of spinach, a bit of parsley Triphala (not really into Ayurveda, but testing things) chlorella Tasted harcore like always but I've been doing smoothies for over 3 years and can't live without them.

Quite late, but maybe someone will stumble on this post. I absolutely think it can be a very useful tool for self-actualization. First of all, food is a tremendous distraction and in 95% out of time stops our bodies to cleanse themselves both physically and mentally, because we tend to live to eat, not eat to live. Secondly, I think chemical addictions stop us from evolving. Personally, I would like to try it, but I'm already a very thin person and don't have a quiet environment to do it in peace, to rest properly. Did you try it yourself?

I tried it those 3 years ago in the summer, just to do a little cleanse, but it felt so amazing that I committed to it. I don't even eat cooked food now and then- I just don't miss them. But it took me a while to do it more properly. You can easily get yourself some deficiencies, because people tend to eat only few kinds of fruits (and too many of them) and vegetables. I don't find frutarianism the best option or hardly a good one, at least not in my region. But I always tell people that I don't recommend it, because once you step on this path, there's hardly any way back (at least for most of the people). You just never feel that good on any other 'diet'. The only thing that I find hard eating this way is the people. In my country it's considered beyond hardcore and it's hard to talk to people without being rejected most of the time. But I don't consider it the healthiest option possible, it depends on what part of the globe you live in. If you're intersted about any details, feel free to ask.

I've been a raw vegan for 3 years. I barely buy anything organic, I simply can't afford it. Winter is the hardest, that's when I'm sprouting buckwheat, legumes, seeds and trying to eat more vegetables (carrots, beets, cabbage). I've had my ups and downs with this lifestyle and found out the more greens and nutrient dense food I eat, the less 'calories' I need. And I believe we don't need a lot of food to be strong, healthy and satisfied. Many people tend to lean towards calorie dense foods but I myself (a very small woman) can eat 20 banans without noticing it, but give me 2 heads of lettuce and I will be satisfied for much longer period of time. I've tried raw till 4 for a while, but I find it messing with my appetite. I feel unsatisfied all the time, no matter how many potatoes I eat and it causes weight gain very fast. Peace

For me personally the most important thing in the morning is plenty of water, preferably with lots of lemon juice. Next I drink a huge green smoothie and it has been my breakfast for 3 years now, even though it sounds very boring. It's quick, healthy, hydrating and helps to get in lots of greens. If you can afford it, a nice raw protein powder is a great addition, keeps you full for a long period of time.
