			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here is the newest recipe from Phil&#8217;s Raw Kitchen.</p>
<p>I have made this energy ball recipe to see if I can get away from chocolate. Every energy ball I have made in the past has chocolate in it and I want to make sure that I can make these things taste good without the chocolate.</p>
<p>Now here is the recipe.</p>
<p>In a food processor place:</p>
<p>1 cup Dried Cranberries</p>
<p>1 cup Raw Almonds</p>
<p>1 cup Walnuts</p>
<p>6 heaping Tablespoons of Hemp Protein</p>
<p>Zest from 2 Minneola or other sweet orange</p>
<p>9 Dates</p>
<p>Blend well. This will be the base for the energy balls. Once blended add:</p>
<p>3 tablespoons of melted coconut oil</p>
<p>1.5 Cups of unsweetend Coconut</p>
<p>1 Cup dried Cranberries</p>
<p>1/4 Cup Juice from the Minneola or sweet orange</p>
<p>1 Cup Pumpkin seeds.</p>
<p>Blend this for a shorter period of time. The longer you blend it the more like a comercial bar it becomes the less you blend it the more the balls will have some different textures and flavours. Pour contents of food processor into a big mixing bowl. Add:</p>
<p>1 Cup hulled hemp seeds.</p>
<p>Knead this until hemp seeds are mixed in. Then start forming the dough into balls. Store the balls in the freezer to ensure they are fresh when you eat them. Ball stay good for about 4 &#8211; 5 days at room temperature. Weeks if refridgerated and months in the freezer.</p>
<p>Thanks and enjoy. Please leave me a comment about these balls if you try them or make them thanks.</p>

<p>These energy balls have replaced all of our Gels and Bars that we used to use for racing. We now only eat these balls and other home made balls. I will post more energy food as our season gets rolling.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Raw food is just what it says not cooked. Why raw food? Raw food is alkaline and the more you can keep your body alkaline the better you will feel and the faster you will recover from activities. Going 100% raw is insane and can really affect your social life.</p>
<p>I would recommend 80% raw if you want to try it but don&#8217;t go cold turkey as you will have crazy side affects from cutting all your usual food from your diet. If you want to try it just try adding a green shake for breakfast (recipe in recipe section) and a big salad for lunch with or without some meat protein and slowly cancel the meat protein and replace it with hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, chia seeds and whatever else you like on your salad. Try and use balsamic/vinegar dressing to start or you can make your own. (recipes in recipe section)</p>
<p>The nice thing about eating 80% raw is if you want to have beer or a steak for dinner go ahead and the next day start with a green shake and you are starting another day eating raw.</p>
<p>A good book to check out for more information is The Thrive Diet by Brandon Brazier.</p>
<p>If you have any questions on eating raw post a question.</p>
<p>Check out the recipes in the recipe section.</p>
