I made up this recipe as one of the many I am planning to use during the month that I must eat only liquids (oral surgery precipitated this move). The coffee, the carob and the Stevia are, I think, not raw but everything else is.
VitaMix blender (this blender will hold up under the frozen bananas!)
2 cups distilled water (distilled is the only kind of water I drink)
4 scoops Tofu Drink Mix (or you can use dry soy milk)
Alternative: use liquid Almond Milk, Rice Milk, Hemp Milk or Soy Milk
4 Frozen organic bananas (be sure to peel them before freezing)
2 instant coffee packets
2 heaping tablespoons of carob
1 dropper of Almond Stevia (or less if you like it less sweet)
Blend and enjoy! You can leave out the coffee, add more or use decaf, if you like. You can use other flavors of Stevia for a different take on it.
Add more liquid if it gets too thick.

I owned a State Approved K-6 for over 20 years and when it closed, I was devastated. However, I decided to make lemonade out of lemons and so I thought: I went to school for 40 years (one class at a time) and I have a PhD, I'll just look for a better job.
And, I did.....look that is, the "finding" part eluded me. I was 60 years old, never got sick and could outwork almost anyone half my age but, as I was looking for a job, it was NOT looking for me!
In the first two years after my school's closure, I applied for over 450 jobs (everything from Starbucks, to Admin Assistant to jewelry sales) and had no luck.
Finally a friend asked why I was counting the jobs and I realized I was focusing on what was NOT happening instead of what might happen so I quit counting, but not applying.
In order to survive, I sold my house and lived off the proceeds while I continued applying. I lived extremely frugally because I knew that the money would not last forever.
Over the years, I have continued to live frugally and apply for jobs. However, there truly is ageism in America today and I have been unsuccessful in getting a "real" job.
What I have been successful at is cobbling together a life by working at my many part time jobs! Currently, I have 2 jobs each day (subbing in the Auburn School District and tutoring at Sylvan Learning Centers). And I do other jobs occasionally such as Real Estate Broker, Author, and Editor.
Because I am a Health Coach, my passion is helping people be healthier.
Over the years, I've learned much about how to be healthy even if I wasn't wealthy so I decided to share my expertise with you! I will bring you tips, recipes, and many ideas on how to choose a healthy lifestyle, even if you are eating out of the local Food Bank and/or don't have much money to pay for gym memberships!
