I am so so glad to have found this blog!! I am a college student, and have been trying out raw, but get worried because I have to eat so much raw-ness to fill myself up, so I get stressed about my budget. This stuff looks very satisfying and delicious. Thank you, I can't tell you how refreshing it is to find an active raw food blog. I need that inspiration. Do you know of any others that an aspiring raw foodist should check out? Thank you!
