I didn’t like it the first time I tried durian, so I just assumed that I didn’t like it at all…

Annmarie has never tried it, and after my less-than-glowing critique, thought she’d never try it.

So after an amazing lunch with our twitter friends Wendi Dee, Jim, Rawbin, BlaqBerry, and Katie Cat, BlaqBerry broke the news that she had brought some durian.

The rest is documented for the ages…

Take a look!

Your question of the day: What is your durian story?

Thanks Wendi, Jim, BlaqBerry, Rawbin and Katie Cat for a memorable and exciting day!

Please check out everyone’s website!

Yep, that’s right…

They left me alone in David Wolfe’s hotel suite…

With a camera.

So what did I do? Well… what would you do?

I took the camera and looked in the fridge! (Of course, I’m a journalist of sorts, right?!)

And here’s what I found, take a look and snoop with me…

Your question of the day: What do you think of the magic bullet blender?

Oh man…

This doesn’t really need any introduction, but I might as well talk it up a bit!

We wanted to prepare a raw food dessert for our friends and this recipe for raw banana ice cream with chocolate syrup and cashew whipped cream was top on the list.

You’ll even get to see us serve this raw dessert to our friends and get their approval rating.

Let them tell you it’s the real deal…

Your question of the day: Do you like Annmarie’s or my introduction better? (You can be honest! We don’t mind!)

Here’s the recipe:

Raw Banana Ice Cream with Chocolate Syrup and Cashew Whipped Cream

Banana Ice Cream
By Elaina Love in The Complete Book of Raw Food
4 very ripe bananas, peeled and frozen

Process the frozen bananas through a Champion Juicer with the blank plate. You may also cut them into small pieces and blend them with a tiny tiny bit of water until creamy.

Chocolate Syrup
By Elaina Love in The Complete Book of Raw Food
2 heaping tbsp of cacao powder
1/4 cup flaxseed oil
3/4 cup water -add slowly
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup pitted dates -don’t soak
Tocotrienols if needed to thicken

Blend together until smooth.

Cashew Whipped Cream
By Nomi Shannon
1 cup cashews, soaked at least 2 hours
4 dates -soaked at least 2 hours
vanilla bean
agave
water (enough to yield a light fluffy mixture)

Blend for at least 45 sec to 1 min

This should bring some healthy discussion…

Which do you think is better? Eating all organic foods with no or little variety or eating a very wide variety of non-organics? Watch the show to see what I think and then post your comment below… I really want to hear your thoughts on this one!

I also explain a mistake in a recent email (thanks Grant, for pointing it out!) about protein and what other fruits contain plenty of protein, so you can steer clear of animal protein if you’re so inclined…

Go ahead and watch now…

You might be wondering why we’re getting ready so early…

The Raw Spirit Festival is in less than two weeks, but we’re going to visit my grandfather for his 90th birthday in Pittsburgh, then flying out to Sedona from there.

Sooo…. we need to plan now!

We’re excited to be traveling so much, but we’re also very careful to make sure that we plan because sometimes (if you don’t) you’ll end up eating less optimally than you’d like…

Today’s show is a lot of fun (or at least we had fun making it!), go ahead and have a laugh or two…

Your question of the day: What other healthy treats and snacks can we bring to Pittsburgh?

Click here, scroll down to the bottom of the page and leave your healthy travel tips here!

This isn’t exactly a workout…

But it fits into the category of muscle tension release… which in turn helps with your workouts.

So this little reflexology demonstration for releasing neck and shoulder tension is something that I think you’ll get great value from.

Go ahead and take a look…
