Some of you have been asking us to make another video showing what we eat on a raw vegan diet with our now 22 month old baby Elanie.
Our baby Elanie has been raw vegan since birth. She is still breastfed and as well as Yulia’s milk, she eats lots of fruits, some fats from coconuts and avocadoes and also now really enjoys green smoothies and green salad dressings.
Today we show some highlights of our raw food family with tips and recipes for you to incorporate into your own diet.

Hey! What’s your thoughts on fruit for dinner?? I heard you shouldn’t have it due to not burning anything after dinner..wondering your thoughts xx
Jessie, you burn calories all day long if you include cardio and strength into your routine. So you burn during the exercise and then there is post-exercise burn as well. So it’s not at all an issue having some fruit before your dinner.
I wish I could dance that good. 🙂
Thank u so very much for the great video and recipe!! Can’t believe Elanie is getting SO big. Wow 😊
beautiful 😻 always love your videos🌈
