I call this juice garden delight because everything except the carrots and celery came from my garden. It’s loaded with greens yet not too harsh due to the carrots. Being fresh from the garden it’s a real energizer.
10 leaves collard tree greens (or other greens)
1 bunch flat leaf parsley
Large handful of spinach
1 whole lemon (with rind)
4 celery
5 carrots

Q Can you have dried fruit on the raw diet?
A Yes, but in moderation, fresh fruit should be your mainstay. Things to remember concerning dried fruit are as follows:
1) Rehydrate the fruit for a few hours or overnight before eating. Otherwise dried fruit will rehydrate itself with water from your body which can lead to your dehydration. If it’s not possible to rehydrate because you’re hiking or something then try to consume it with water rich foods like celery or cucumbers.
2) Make sure the fruit is not treated with sulfates or other preservatives.
3) Dried fruit should be dried at or below approx. 108 degrees Fahrenheit to be considered a raw food.
4) Make sure to brush your teeth after eating dried fruit as it can stick to your teeth and cause problems.

Need to stock up on some great quality meat? Take this opportunity to enter in this great giveaway with America’s Farmstand, the world’s first ever virtual farmer’s market. America’s Farmstand delivers pure, all-natural, sustainably farmed fresh foods, grown to exacting standards, direct from family farms to table – with no warehousing. Fresh food can now be enjoyed mere hours after harvest!
“I was raised in the country and had the pleasure of jogging past and interacting with farmstands every morning growing up. After moving to the city, I was increasingly struck by how much was lost when food goes from a farm into the big, industrial food system,” notes Todd Greenfield, Founder and President of America’s Farmstand.
In response to this, Greenfield created the first virtual farmer’s market – food is shipped directly from the farm to the customer, without days spent in trucks and warehouses before sitting on the shelf in the supermarket. The company partners only with farmers who are committed to preserving the integrity of their land, water and soil resources to bring you the best food raised by responsible farmers.
