200 Subscribers to Rawmodel's Youtube Page

Kind of a milestone...right?

I'm trying to bring life and excitement to the
living-foods community and I feel that video is
really the way to go these days.

We are a highly visually stimulated society,
so in order to get some ideas across the gap,
we must go with the flow...and use the vid-e-o...

I recently uploaded a video made in Mexico City
where I was opening coconuts on my hotel rooftop.



Here is the Durian Smoothie combo...

Includes some Durian info...how to open a thai coconut...
and easily enough, how to combine them into one delicious smoothie.







Im starting to do more wild foraging in Central Park as well,
so expect more videos of that really soon.

Thanks to all who have subscribed...
I cant thank you enough and I promise to keep
the content FRESH and light-hearted and yet...informative.

Successfully Raw Recap

A Perfect End to a LONG Week...

I got home from Mexico City on Thursday night,
and found out that I had to fly to Milwaukee on the first
flight out the next morning. So after a four hour nap,
I was in a taxi and headed BACK to the airport. Yeesh...

I shot all day for Kohls, and didnt get back until midnight.
I had to be at the event first thing in the morning,
so there wasnt much time to practice.

Luckily I had lots of spare time on the plane, so I went
over some main points and came up with some great subjects
to speak about. After all the preparation though, I simply
ended up winging most of it and just speaking honestly from the heart.

Everyone did AMAZING and from the feedback I heard,
all of the attendees had a great time and loved the food as well.


Big ups to the We Like it Raw crew, Karen Knowler and Joel Odhner
for sharing all of their experiences and knowledge. Im so proud
to be a part of such a great team of people.
ENDLESS thanks to Dawn for taking all these great pics :)
Youre the best...


And everyone that helped out too...nothing but gratitude.
Robert and his assistant for filming,
Kaya, Gigi, Jenny and Jamy for all of their help,
and Vanessa for providing the wonderful Gnosis Chocolate!

This is the first of many, and we just keep getting
stronger with each passing day.


A shot with the lovely Penni...

We are riding the freshest wave on the planet.
I loved meeting everyone too...so many online
friends that were finally in person!
Blessed be the internet...

Much love everyone...have a wonderful week.

Beauty is Everywhere...

I was really impressed with Mexico City,
although I was mostly working the whole time or
stuck in the hotel. I wandered around a little on my
first day when I had some spare hours.

I was checking for some wild foods, and although
I did find some, the thoughts about car pollution
and soil quality kept me from trying anything.

(A Little Sorrel Mexicano...add it to your raw tacos)

Burdock is EVERYWHERE.

No big deal really...the exotic fruits were abundant.

After my fitting on monday, the production company
had one of their nice employees drive me down to the
local indoor market where I could do some shopping.

Here is what I found.

The production company was calling her asking where she was.

"Why arent you back yet?"
"He's still looking at the fruit!"

The green fruits in the center are Black Sapote. YUM!!!

They are seriously like chocolate pudding in the middle. AMAZING.

This one was REALLY ripe...the pic doesnt do it any justice.

I ate so many figs (Higos) at the job...Its been so long!!! Cant wait till July!

This had the interior of REALLY sour passion fruit.
Ive never had anything like it.

Good ol' Guanabana...or Soursop. I like Guanabana better :)

Sapodilla on the left and Mamey Sapote on the right.
Sapodillas I could take or leave...
Mamey Sapotes are like sweeter and juicer
sweet potatoes...I loved them.

Here are the insides of the Sapodillas -


And...fungicide and radiation free...coconuts -

Hairy coconuts...didnt luck out and find any green ones,
but I was flying high from the sapotes and guanabana.
The water was pure and not so sweet. The meat was
thick but filling. I would dice it up and mix it in a salad.
Like this...

Diced Coconut Meat
Diced Avocado
Diced Mango
Diced Cumcumber
Lime Juice (Not Diced :) )



Here is a video of me getting wild with the coconut.
Sometimes you just dont have the right tools and
you simply have to improvise. Best way to drink them anyways...




There are sculptures like this all over the center of the city.
If you are going to Mexico, Id recommend a day or two here.
Its WAY too big too see it all, but there is so much history here
and the markets are really cool. The people from the production
company were recommending some museums, but Id much
rather explore the life of the city.

Just an interesting ad that I saw while I was there...
Makes you think, eh?

Raw Divas Podcast

I did a GREAT audio interview with Tera from The Raw Divas

last week and I was just notified that its up on the site.

Here is the link...

Its a long interview...but I think it will go by pretty quickly.

I hope you enjoy and please let me know what you think.

Day one of the shoot was LONG. Great, but really long.

14 hours total, and tomorrow might be the same.

The caterers hooked me up with LOTS of figs and mango,

and even coconut water. They were so nice.

I havent had a fresh fig since September...
they were better than I remember.

I am so glad I have two fig trees heading to Minnesota
in just a few short weeks. Fun fun...

Enjoy the interview everyone, and if you

are anywhere close to NY next weekend,

please consider attending the Successfully Raw Event

being held on Saturday.

Its really a great deal...please check it out!

Mexico sin fotos y scoop.com

Pardon the stock photos...not mine.

Cloudy day here...ugh.

Ive been taking pics and making vids

but I cant upload anything to these computers

so Ill do a good picture post when I get back.

I scored big-time in the fruit department though.

Mamey, Black Sapote, Sapodillas, Coconuts, and Guanabana (Soursop).

Oh yeah..and the guavas! Little yellow ones, so fragrant.

Laura, a good friend of mine from Connecticut,

was browsing some online catalog and emailed me

wondering if I was in it. I checked it out, and YES.

Here is the link: ScoopNYC.com

Just watch the flash and it will rotate between

me and a girl. See? The Raw Food lifestyle PAYS.

Honestly...you might not believe, but if

I wasnt raw I wouldnt be at the level to consistently

work and save money. Raw gave all of this to me.

Not only physically, but mentally as well.

Give it a try...we´ve been cooked for so long.

What harm could a 2 week experiment do?

You have to realize that you deserve only the best

foods ever available on all of the Earth.

You have to cherish yourself enough to act on that.

Come from abundance, not scarcity,

and raw food will be a breeze.
