Well, there are lots of awesome things about raw foods and the raw food diet, but what is your favorite? I'm sure most people will talk about the benefits it ha s/has had on themselves and that's cool!

I would say one of my favorite things are the desserts. I think it's awesome that there are so many different raw desserts that actually taste like desserts and the real thing. The best part is that they are actually healthy for you. Nothing beats having a chocolate cake knowing that raw chocolate is one of the healthiest foods for you! People always complain about how they eat desserts and feel guilty or how they don't eat dessert cause they don't wanna get fat or something but with raw desserts your don't really have to worry about it!

Ice cream for breakfast! :D

haha, the other day at my family's house, EVERYONE was eating donuts and I pulled out some raw ice cream from the HFS and my mom said "Ice cream for breakfast?!?" and I said "Oh, please! Don't gimme that, everyone else is eating FRIED DOUGH with sugar for breakfast!"

I also love how fantastic I feel after eating raw foods. Green juice...yumm!

How did you make the ice cream? I'm pretty new to raw foods and today I attempted to make raw chocolate ice cream. It was very good except I used bananas and it was like 70% chocolate and 30% bananas. I went overboard on the chocolate (not on purpose)!

Wow! That's a lot of chocolate hehe
I was actually fortunate enough to find the raw ice cream in a health food store when I was visiting my aunt! But I have made raw ice cream before (sort of, it didn't freeze too well, and my ice cream maker sucks) by combining almond milk, coconut milk, sweetener and chocolate. Maybe a dash of vanilla :)
