I feel like so many hoopers I know now are vegan... seriously, half the VEG group at my university are also hoopers! It's super awesome. The two go together so well.

I was so happy to see this group! I was wondering the other day if there were other vegan hoopers like me and now I know XD Yay!

Talk about good timing.  My blender has been broken for about a month so I'm considering splurging on a Vita-Mix and a pair of LED minis when I get my income tax return in  a few weeks.

Yeah, it's  good thing I ordered one, my other blender started leaking today while making almond milk today.

That is awesome, SaFire!! I'm a bit envious as I've also been wanting one for a few years now.  Enjoy it!!

Thanks, Halo and Dawn!  Very interesting.  I sure admire your focus and committment.

I'm so happy to see there are other raw foodists here!  

My routine is very much like yours, Dawn.  I'm usually never hungry first thing in the morning so I typically just drink a lot of water mixed with the juice of a lemon or lime instead of having breakfast.  Once I get hungry around noon, I have a green juice which is also quite similar to Dawn's: Cucumber, celery, kale, spinach, (possibly some other greens), apple, and ginger.  For an afternoon snack, I usually have a piece of fruit or two. It may be a grapefruit, an apple, a banana, whatever appeals to my body at the time.  Dinner is always a salad of all different types of greens - spinach, kale, lettuce, dandelion greens, collard greens, mustard greens, etc. with some chopped up veggies and an avocado mashed up with lime juice for the dressing.  I also eat a lot of young Thai coconuts (the water is delicious and full of electorlytes) and when they're in season, durian and watermelon are my favorite foods (not together, of course).

 

Before I went raw, I had been vegan for about 8 or 9 years.  I've always been the type of person to dive in head first, so I didn't transition at all, I just went raw overnight.  

 

 My boyfriend eats a mostly vegan diet and right now he is trying to slowly transition to eating raw.  My daughter is 4 and I try my best to get her to as many raw foods as possible, but she does eat mostly vegan.  As for everybody else in my life, they are very supportive and accepting of my lifestyle.  Many people tell me how admirable my eating habits are, but that they feel they lack the will power to eat this way.  I tell them they can do anything they put their mind to! As for eating out, I rarely ever do so, but if the situation arrises, I usually make sure to eat before I go out or I bring some fruit or an avocado or two.
