hello raw brothers and sisters!
I am going to be transitioning to a raw food diet while I do some traveling this summer. I won't have the luxury of a juicer or a mixer and will mostly be eating meals that don't require much preparation. (think nuts, fruits, veggies, anything that is easy to pack and carry in a bag)
So what I am wondering is what I should be considering as my primary food source. I am thinking lots of goji berries, various nuts, fruit, an avacado or two, and maybe an occasional smoothie. I don't mind decreasing my intake, but at the same time I am wanting to increase my health benefits.
Should I consider supplements? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
in light,
michael
p.s. I just purchased eating for beauty by david wolfe, so as soon as that arrives in the mail I will have access to that information.

Re: maintinaing healthy raw diet without a kitchen
Sun, June 7, 2009 - 10:51 AMI wrote about my camping and festival travels last summer, addressing the same issue. I brought lots of beans to sprout. They do just fine sprouting next to a tent, or on the dash of a car! Especially little french lentils, they sprout quick (1-2 days.) It's cheap, easy, and fun. I would make that your main staple. I brought avocados, put the sprouted beans inside the cut avo, and sprinkled an herb and spice mix on top... yum!
Dehydrated stuff travels well too, and keeps a while. -

Wed, June 10, 2009 - 9:06 PMYes, I agree. Sprouts in general are live and easy to travel with ( get jars or a sprout bag or two) You can even sprout wheat, kamut, other grains if you want something heartier. Heartier greens too( Romaine, celery ) & some rrot veggies( beets, Jicama) keep well without much refrigeration. Have fun!

Thu, June 11, 2009 - 12:03 AMfrom wikipedia:
"The United Nations World Food Conference in 1974 lauded Spirulina as the 'best food for the future'. . . Spirulina has been proposed by both NASA (CELSS)[24] and the European Space Agency (MELISSA)[25] as one of the primary foods to be cultivated during long-term space missions." -

Wed, June 24, 2009 - 7:22 PMMaybe I missed it but what type of space will you be having? Staying in hotels, cars, RVs, tents? Are you backpacking? Are you limited to just a backpack or multiple containers stuffed in a car or...?
I'm relatively new to eating raw and have not gone full force yet. In two years I will be hitting the road to travel full time again, which means limited means of storage, cooling, heating food items, so I'm always eager to see how others have managed.
By the way, I found a hand cranked (yeah, not eletric) juicer does a decent job at making smoothies and juice. I'm rather enjoying finding ways to do things without electricity.
