Re: 30 Days Raw – Making Frozen Fruit “Ice Cream” with Princess Emily

Holly Smith — Thu, 11 Feb 2016 10:34:55 -0000

Hi Susan,
We had such a nice time with Emily :)
I just did a bit of checking around and right now the best price I see on a Solostar II is from Harvest Essentials. I have not ordered from them personally but the price is great. $219. with FREE shipping. The Solostar is usually around $265. or even $299.
Sometimes you can find a used Champion Juicer on Craig's List and they work similarly to make frozen fruit ice cream. They do not juice wheat grass well like the Solostar but if you just want to make ice cream they are great. Just make sure it comes with the "blank screen" which you need to make frozen fruit ice cream.

Susan, I am so happy to hear you say that I make it look doable. It is very doable!!! That is one of the main reasons I have been sharing these videos. It is February in Michigan (not the easiest time for fresh raw produce) and we are in a very busy time right now so we are keeping it sooooo simple. That is exactly what I am hoping people will see - how to do it and keep it simple!!

You can use other nuts for the coconut cream, however, cashews and pine nuts work the best for creating a creaming texture. Other nuts tend to give a more course texture. And yes you can absolutely use coconut milk in place of the coconut water.

I truly do love these short vids....somehow you make it look very doable. On the coconut cream recipe, can you swap out walnuts for almonds? And can you just use regular coconut milk?

Wow, I think maybe we'll incorporate one day a week of raw right now. We already start each morning off with green smoothies. Please keep the videos coming!!

You need 10 - 15 minutes to get your lymphatic system going. For this you don't even need your feet to come off the mat. For a cardio workout (which also gets the lymphatic going) I like to go at least 20 minutes with an elevated heart rate in the proper range for you. I generally do 30 - 45 minutes depending on who I am listening to . News Boys seems to generate a longer workout for me. They just get me movin' :)

If you are not sure what you proper conditioning level heart rate is take a look at this short article: http://todaysabundantliving...

I have one. I didn't know that was the name of it. Cool. How long do you bounce for when starting out?

Hi Susan, a rebounder is a mini trampoline. It is an excellent form of exercise. It is one of the best for strengthening your bones and it really helps move the lymphatic fluid in your body which is great for supporting a strong immune system. Plus you can get a great cardio workout. I always put on some music and get my praise on :)

I often find them at resale shops and pick them up.

Here is a nice one from Amazon: http://amzn.to/1K2dUXc

Hi Susan, so nice to see you here at my blog!! :) I am so glad to hear you are off to a great start this new year. I am so excited for this year.

Very proud of you on the walking no mater the weather. I still struggle with that when it gets cold. It is so good to get out and get that fresh air all year long. Maybe one day I will be bold and join you.

No beating up is good. It is a process. Kaizen!! http://todaysabundantliving...

So excited to hear about your rehearsal and all that is connected with that :)

Did you see I am doing a screening of Simply Raw later this month? You may enjoy this. Love to have you join us. :)

Oh my word, those roasted veggies sound yummy. Can't wait to try them! I too am off to a good start for the new year. Trying to add a little more raw each day ( deliberate). Also trying to not eat after 6 o clock and walking every day no mTter what the weather conditions. I had a band rehearsal last night and was revved up afterwards and ate about 30 pistachios. Uhhhg! Not beating myself up over it and that in itself is good progress for me....speaking words that edify and not tear down! God is soooooo good.... We have a good, good Father! We can do all things, friends, through Christ who gives us strength! I will press on! Susan

I made these the other night and they were a HUGE hit!!! I did 1/2 almonds and 1/2 dry coconut and they tasted just like an almond joy. Something I've missed but haven't had in years!
