My own story led me many years ago to switch to a raw food diet. I am continually grateful for the self-healing I have experienced as a result. The knowledge I have gathered over more than 15 years with this alternative form of nutrition is something I want to share with the world through this book. There are still many prejudices about raw food and vegan diets. A lack of education on the topic often leads to uncertainty. My goal is to dispel these widely held prejudices and misconceptions. I hope that every reader finds inspiring insights, motivation, and energy for a self-determined and healthy life. This book begins with the wonderful topic of smoothies. You can expect many practical recipes and exciting information about the valuable ingredients.
