  1. I love how simple all of these are! LFRV is the way to go. I’ll eventually get those nuts and seeds outta my diet. I just love them in raw desserts though =)

  2. Hello. I’m a newbie when it comes to incorporating a higher percentage of rawness into my diet. I’m not a vegan, but am learning lots by researching & reading posts like yours too. So, my question is: Can you please explain why “low fat” is the way to go? What about breastfeeding moms and LFRV?

  3. Love this! I shared it on my Facebook page :)
