This Energise Pro blender is a great new blender just out on the market, and at a great price too - £250 with Energise Your Life.com. A great match as an alternative to the other two leading high speed blenders. That we know are high quality machines, and are also of the a high price cost wise too – the Vitamix and the Blendtec. I have had the opportunity to have had each of these amazing raw food powerhouse motors at various stages of my raw food journey. And I would say that owning any of these is definitely a wonderful gift to your lifestlye, and to the fruits you blend - who I’m sure are longing to be turned into the smoothiest smoothies and be devoured with blissful joy by you.
Making your own almond milk, hemp milk, sesame seed, sunflower seed, hazel nut, brazil nut, or cashew nut milk
is so much fun – and for some it means that they really really don’t miss out. If like me, you make raw porridge, granola cereals or muesli from time to time; perhaps creamy liquid smoothies; or creamy soups, this is an item for you. It looks just like milk, what ever the original colour of the nut; has a variety of milk tastes with the range of nuts you can choose from; and… Is very comforting in the diet, without all the mucus and acidity of cow’s milk.
The Samson I believe has really taken over from the long running Champion juicers in alot of peoples’ hearts of late
it seems. And several mainstream surveys have really rate this machine as one of the best, and fabulour for the price ((£160). For it’ll do good quality juice, dry pulp, no over-heating, easy cleaning. If you want to make the best soups in the world, that will knock bachelors and Heinz off their comfy chair, then you really need juices as you base in recipes, not water. This is what I have discovered anyway. Green Star is also a good classic solid juicer that handles everything with a slow work-horse intregrity. Wheatgrass and dark green leafy vegetables get fully processed so the minerals are literally squeezed right out of them. And if you’re juicing vegetables as opposed to sugary fruits, that’s medicine for you, and your liver you know.
Unless you are one of those rare people who transitions over to raw food, and thrives happily on juices, smoothies, salads. Have no need for the drier crunchier food texture beyond munching nuts. Who likes simplicity so much so that recipes feels like a combo abombo to your belly; and too much effort for the head; or
even too processed even whilst technically a raw food - you’ll probably be needing in one of these dehyrators to create gourmet specialities. Its the raw fooders oven I call this, thought I never set it above 105f of course. Because my body has fought well and hard at fever temperature from time to time, without ever going into too much danger, and didn’t rob my body of enzymes in the process, it makes sense to me to warm my food in that way and no higer in temperature. So I’m able to make spring rolls, onion bhajees, burgers, garlic mushrooms, crackers, breads, dried seasonings, and fruit leaters, and many other things with this wonderful transitional tool. Great to support new raw fooder, and help get you through the darker colder winter months, when the longing for denser foods feels a real need.
Not forgetting, the growing of your own indoor greens for a balance raw nutrition – chlorophyll, alkalising minerals, home-grown, cheap, organic and easy food at your disposal, to juice or eat as salads. I’m talking about wheat and barley grasses, sunflower greens, buckwheat greens, and alfalfa, plus others. Also a small amount of the short-tailed sprouts like mung beans, chickpeas, lentils, are great addition to the diet, and grow well in glass jars or sprout bags. If your a real ‘metal head’, looking for the very best gadgets to suit your perfectionist kitchen, then try the Automatic Wheatgrass Sprout. It will grow all the above mentioned seeds, and automatically water those baby plants and provide the right temperature, humiditily and space for them to grow and be harvested in a safe, slightly enclosed environment for them. My friend produces such good quality plants food this way with this machine, whilst being a very busy busy mum. She says ‘they just look after themselves’, The automatic system is designed to support that sutuation, to grow without much maintenance from you, and deliver your green goods.
My final favourite kitchen equipment I thorough enjoy playing around with - actually use quite often, 
several times a week in fact - and what also impresses other (not into raw eating as a lifestyle) are the simple Spiralisers. The spagetti making machine of course. There are several different brands on the market, and I’ve had the opportunity to test 3 of them. My spiralo, the one I really prefer is very sturdy, cuts very well with its super sharp blades. Yet also it can be handled with care so you don’t cut yourself. The noodles come out in long long unbroken sheets that dont snap much, so they look rather impression. With good presentation, I have fooled many a kind friend that my dish is wheat pasta (but thankfully ‘oh not it isn’t…) Also, it cleans up really well which is important too don’t you agree? You want it to be a doddle. So you can spend your new found energy through eatGet one of these if money’s tight. It’s £25 normally, and worth every penny, I mean it.
