I’ve been raw vegan 7+ years & when I first started, I also felt cold from eating raw in wintertime (I live in New England), but as time has moved on, this lifestyle not only keeps me cool in summer, but I don’t feel cold in winter! I can stay raw and I stay warm 💟🎵

[sallyberlin]

Karyn's the reason I turned vegan 12 years ago. Can listen to her talk for hours.

[greyhnd]

Been whole food plant food diet but cooked as well. I try to eat as much raw as I can. I weigh what I did in highschool. Been on this journey for a decade.

She is definitely a good business woman….keeping a lot of secrets to herself…. 😏
Not that Chef A J didn’t try to get it out of her…. Like where she gets the algae/ moss….. oh well, at least she shared the recipe. Thanks Chef AJ, great work👍🧡

Hi, in the video she's using olive oil? The recipe didn't include the oil.

[carmenmarcinkiewicz]

09:37 Karen says she has a "power plate" which sounded like it's some kind of Does anyone know more about that?

[MistressGlowWorm]

Chef, I am worried. I must eat this way because I’ve gotten sick but I am constantly told if I don’t eat meat protein I can be deficient. You are proving that one can eat Whole Foods and plant based nutrition.how do you get a lot of protein. I know beans have quite a bit. Please advise ❤

[PratheLa]
