Change is not (r)a(w)ll or nothing!

After a few emails, it has come to my attention that some people are grouchy that I am advocating mixing fruit juice into my ‘raw’ green juice. I just want to point out - many people FAIL at eating healthy because they take too big of steps. This isn’t all or nothing. A person does not have to go crazy and switch their eating habits over night. If a person is capable of doing that - great! From my experience, however, many people find it difficult to stick with the healthy plan because they take too big of steps. So, I say…keep the yummy juice in the mix. When a person gets good at drinking a green smoothie every day… by all means, cut back on the amount of juice and try making it as healthy as possible. I am not a raw foodist. I strive to be healthy and advocate making changes that may benefit people. I may, one day, change my diet to be all Raw - I feel good when I do it. At this time, I am mostly vegan with my eye on Raw. Small steps… many times, make the biggest improvements.
