One of my most popular posts to date is my DIY tutorial for making raw almond milk. In spite of the dinky photos and bad lighting, this post embodies what I always wanted Choosing Raw to be: an easy and practical resource for eating (and living) vegan and raw.

Note: this post is not for the many of you who have expressed to me a major distaste for tahini. Tahini seems to be a polarizing ingredient: some of us (like me) simply can’t get enough of it, while others seem to cringe at the sight of it. This nut “milk” is tahini based, and [...]

Happy weekend, guys! One of the most frequently asked questions I get from new clients is, “what about milk?” This usually demands a multi-part answer. If the client is asking whether or not it’s OK to have some dairy once in a while, I’ll need to listen to her level of transition and get a [...]
