When I first went Raw, I jumped right into it 100%. My original intention was only to do it as a cleanse, but I felt so good that I kept on going. I was lucky when i decided to go raw because I was still living at home and my mom had always been somewhat of a health nut. So I had things like a good blender and a juicer available to me.

But after moving to a new city and a new apartment, I don’t have the money right away to buy all the kitchen supplies I might need to go back to raw right out of the gate.

So I have to figure out a way to ease myself back into it.

Yesterday I got a copy of Sarma Melngailis’s two books Raw Food/Real World and Living Raw Food. Sarma is the Chef and owner of Pure Food and Wine, which is an amazing raw food restaurant in new york city.

The first book, Raw Food/Real World talks a lot about how she got into raw food, and making the transition.

They have been very helpful to read, and I have made recipes from both books in the past and they are delicious!

I am lucky enough to have a juice bar in the food court of my building at work. But if gets expensive. The more I keep drinking green juice, it really has been helping my body get back to that place of craving raw foods.

Slowly but surely, I am making this transition!
