Raw-Vitalize: The Easy, 21-Day Raw Food Recharge

I am so serious when I say I never write reviews regardless if the product is bad, good or simply just ok! This is perfect for anyone! I am currently transitioning back to a plant based lifestyle and this has made that transition easier and funnier than ever before! The guide, resources and plans in this book are so helpful! I purchased this two years ago and just now using it! Recipes are simple and quick and ingredients won’t break the bank! Meals are quick and easy for anyone in this “rat race “ of a world! Oh and dont forget the food taste amazing and not bland!!!!! Purchasing two more for my coworkers! Definitely a must have and I will definitely purchase more books from them

First off, I have had blood sugar issues for years. I've had frequent headaches for as long as I can remember. I originally got this book because I was tired of feeling so...tired. I had little to no energy. The recipes are fantastic! Everything tastes amazing and is incredibly easy to make. I thought I would struggle with sticking to it, but everything is so amazing that it made it simple. I immediately noticed that my shakes and "hangry" problems ceased to exist. After 31 days (yes, 31 not 21 because I've continued to use this book long after my 21 days expired) headaches have become a thing of the past. Probably because with the help of this book, I've stopped eating anything with sugar in it. I've got more energy, I'm sleeping better, and I'm obviously finding myself in a much happier mood. As an added bonus, I've lost almost 5 pounds without even trying! I'm very petite to begin with, so 5 pounds is a significant amount for me. I don't look or feel so tired all the time. I can't say enough to express my satisfaction with this book! It has been a life changer for me and I am absolutely thrilled! On a side note...I cut all the lunch and dinner recipes in half. It was way too much food for me!

Great book, good recipes

Some tasty recipes. My only issue is they do tend to be high in fat.

I can't say enough good things about this uncook book! I was looking for a raw food book that had simple recipes, but tasted delicious. After doing some research, I decided to go with this book by Mimi Kirk. What I love about this book is the recipes are very easy to make. Most things I have whipped up in under 15 minutes. I also love, that everything I have made from this book tasted delicious. The colors are beautiful, and sometimes my family is jealous of my raw meals. If you're a newby with healthy eating, you might have to buy a lot of ingredients at the store. This is the only downside I can think of. But I normally eat very healthy, so the only ingredients I have had to buy were cacao powder and tamari (which have been great additions to my kitchen). Also, I've noticed my eyes and skin becoming brighter and healthier. I didn't do the 21 day plan. But I try to eat 1 raw meal a day. If you're looking for a way to add in more raw veggies, then I think this book is a good starting point.

For anyone interested in trying a raw diet, or adding more raw meals to your current diet, this is a great book. Beautiful photos and easy recipes. Mother daughter duo co-authored this book, with the goal to create a simplified raw diet or at least try it for 21 days as a health reset. I happen to know both of the authors, and both are beautiful women with radiant smiles, beautiful skin and lush hair. Both are great reflections of the health benefits of eating a raw / high raw diet.

I am on week one of this "recharge." They have a grocery list for each week. This would be helpful, right? Only it isn't -- I have gone to make three recipes so far for which I don't have the ingredients on hand, because they were not included in the shopping list. I mean, what?? I'm not talking about a staple or a spice (which honestly should still be in there), but like a papaya or a specific nut or veggie, without which you cannot make your meal. And let me tell you, I am hungry when it is time to eat my next meal or snack; I do NOT want to go to prep it and find I have to head to the store again first. Additionally, many of the recipes require soaking nuts for two hours or leaving something in the fridge overnight (for breakfast). The chia seed pudding (which was tasty and filling!) has to be prepped, left for ten minutes, stirred and left for ten minutes again, and then left in the fridge overnight. This is all fine and good, but the authors state that each recipe should only take 15 minutes to prepare. I find that misleading. The layout of the book is terrible -- all breakfasts in one section, all lunches in another, etc., but the weekly plan and shopping lists are on their own. Small point, but it would be much easier to just flip through each page and there is what you are making next, since the layout is day 1 through 21. There is also a surprising amount of oil and sweetener in these items, although I am certain it is less than I normally eat in a day so I am not terribly concerned about that presently. All of these issues aside, so far, the recipes have been very tasty and reasonably filling. I am normally about 85% plant-based, but have fallen off the wagon during the COVID-19 stay-at-home orders. Thought this would be a good way to restart while working from home. But again, when I have to mask up and run to the store at lunchtime to pick up ONE missing ingredient, it is quite irritating.

This is a great plan to reset after eating miserably all winter. It does not have nutritional information, but it is all whole food ingredient recipes so not hard to figure out overall. My teen likes to make some of the recipes for herself and siblings for a fun, healthy snack. If you want to follow the plan, there are shopping lists included. Fun book and good, raw recipes.

Este libro me encanto. Las recetas me gustaron mucho, variadas y fáciles de elaborar. Visualmente es muy bonito también. Lo recomiendo sobre todo para quien quiera introducir mas variedad de platillos crudiveganos a su alimentación.

Delicious recipes. Do join the group on facebook.

I honestly have so many recipe books and I can also honestly say that I NEVER follow them. It's just not in my DNA unfortunately 😬 The beauty of Raw-Vitalize recipes, apart from being totally delicious, is the fact that they are so simple and changeable to what you have in the fridge or to your personal preferences. In my opinion, this is the perfect type of recipe book; if you're a newbie and have no idea of what you're doing in the kitchen, you can follow the instructions as written and have wonderful results, or if you're like me and prefer freedom to make things up as you go along and experiment, this book gives you starting points from which you can let your personality and creativity run totally wild!

I'm trying a raw vegan diet and have bounced between recipe books trying to settle on a solid plan. This book is fantastic, especially if you're a beginner to raw foods like me. It gives you a full 21 day plan of breakfast, lunch and dinner, complete with weekly shopping list. I've ended up mixing and matching days, which works fine. No dehydrator is needed but you'll find it a lot easier if you have a food processor. The recipes I've tried so far taste great too! I recommend this book to anyone starting out on a raw vegan diet.

Il y a beaucoup de bons recettes et les informations utile. Par contre j'étais déçu car les recettes ne sont pas par saison. J'essaie de suivre les fruits est légumes organiques disponible par saison et je ai trouvé un mélange d'ingrédients hors saison. Mais le livre est très bien présenté et les recettes sont claires et souvent facile.
