Last night, I was hanging out with a good friend of mine before we went out for a little dancing, and for the second time I served him up a high-raw “rawish” dinner that fully satisfied both his taste buds and appetite.
It’s a great feeling, sharing such healthful meals with people you care about, and at the same time leaving them marveling at how delicious the experience can be.

Raw Cocktails
A Great Way To Introduce Cocktail-Lovers To The Great Energy & Flavor Of Raw Foods!
We started out with raw cocktails — my “Live Green” Lemon Drop Martinis. These were proclaimed to the best ever and amazing, and really they were. We proceeded to enjoy the whole batch…without any significant intoxicating effects. Go figure…is it the living enzymes that neutralized that a bit? Don’t know…but they were exquisite.
A full cup & a half of live green & fruit juices went into each of our systems — that doesn’t happen when you grab a cocktail at your local bar! They feel great in your body. Rather than feeling sluggish and lazy afterwards, we were energized for a long night of dancing!

Serve Raw “Dips” and Salsas At Every Turn
For the main course, I whipped up a double batch of my Chopped Kale & Portabella Mushroom Salad with Creamy Macadamia-Garlic Dressing. We ate this like a dip, scooping the creamy, explosively-garlicky salad up with organic tortilla chips. (Alas no raw chips on hand…a constant issue with me, as I truly loathe the taste of flax seed, which is always used to make them.)
I also had some pepper-onion focaccia bread on hand specifically for my guest, so he’d have some grounding cooked food around which he could enjoy with the salad. The “rawish” combination was a huge success.

Raw Desserts Are Easy As Pie…And There Are So Many To Choose From!
The raw foods lifestyle may be even easier for those who have a sweet tooth. There are so many wonderful ways to prepare sweet raw treats! Certainly, this is one area that should be a snap when it comes to introducing raw and high-raw meals to friends and family.
Last night, I served my “Best Little Chocolate Mousse Tart Ever” to my friend… who enjoyed second helpings! That with a fresh cappuccino off my Spanish “Ascaso” espresso machine, and the guy was signed, sealed, and delivered into a deeply satisfying high-raw meal experience.

Want To Introduce The “Raw Foods Message” of Health, Energy, and Well-Being To Your Loved Ones?
Just make great raw food, share it appealingly and welcomingly with your friends and family, and the food itself will do the magic. My friend now only wants more of the high-raw meals. Both of my kids have announced they want to radically jack up the raw…my surrogate daughter announced she’s on a juice fast right now and is “going raw” with another friend of the family who has turned her own parents onto juicing and raw foods.
Eventually, the appeal of living foods works its way into the minds of those that want to be the very best they can be. That’s why there’s such a huge movement toward raw and living foods in the personal development and high-consciousness communities. It eventually becomes obvious that raw and living foods give the “edge” that many people crave in their lives.
There’s never any reason to force or persuade harshly… just fill up your kitchen with great tasty raw creations and share them as frequently as you can!
