John's video's got me started on raw, I have lost over 100lbs on raw! Thanks for making these videos. They also made me a better Gardener!

Damn that looks so good. All the people saying "you talk too much" or "boring" everything he was saying is valuable information! You guys must have no thirst for knowledge

OkRaw..One of the best Raw Food channels on the net.

John, every video I watch makes me more and more of a fan - the way you talk for an hour with no effort, and it's all rivetting stuff, is just fantastic. An advert for raw health in itself. xx

One of the best people on KZfaq. No arrogance, no ego, no trying to be what he is not - he's genuine, which let's face it is not as wide spread as some would like you to believe! He also doesn't shove the 'I'm a better uber human than you and I know best' thing down your throat. He has tried and tested it and had amazing results himself for years now. So thank you for sharing your time and important knowledge for free.

I use the carrot pulp and make a carrot type salad with it. Throw in some raisins or cranberries, celery, whatever you like, and some of the carrot juice back into it. Fantastic!

John, even though this video is 10 yrs old, it’s still helpful, and you certainly have a lot of fans sending you good vibes for your health, happiness and wellbeing.

John, I was at your talk about a week ago in Vegas and you made the raw soup with the seaweed and pomegrantes! I am making that and so excited to share in my group. I also wanted to say thanks for all the tips. I have shared many things in my Facebook group (hothouse products, getting seeds out of pomegranates and your tips on organic at Costco) Great information and so worth my time. You are very knowledgeable. I am blessed that got to come watch you speak. Will be coming again.

John is a very knowledgeable guy. He talks to share with his viewers answers to all the why questions so we don't need to read. Would you rather read a whole book or listen to him explaining it?

This guy looks great and healthy.

John is a great man.

Fast forward to 1:04:01 for actually raw soup "formula"/guidelines.

Thank you so much John for this base recipe! I cant wait to play around with it.

Thank you. I loved the video. Very motivational. Very inspirational. God bless you.

God bless you! Thank you for doing what you are doing, your videos are so helpful. Thank you so much!

I'm going to make my first raw soup tonight. It looked so very delicious and healthful. I always enjoy hearing your personal story, thanks for sharing. You are truly inspiring!

You are inspiring, Jon. I love your philosophy on life and approach to diet. I am still learning, but hope to be close to where you're at soon.

Happy to view this, after the original posting, a second time... thank you

john, you are by far the best raw foods educator that i have run into and that's saying a mouthful because there are several very, very good educators in the same field. i absolutely love your videos. you always offer so much good information on all facets of this way of life. keep up the wonderful work and i'm right there absorbing it all.^^

never thought making the base like this OMG my raw cooking just got to another level thanks for this ❤❤❤❤ THANK YOU ❤❤❤❤

Loved this video! I'm struggling w my health post Lyme and w sensitivities. I'm eager to change me life to eat better and feel better. This is Inspiring. Thank you so very much John!

that person with the constant beeping is really disrespectful. You handle the distractions really well, Thanks for another awesome video John.

Your awesome dude. Thanks for sharing!

Lisa, there is already an average fat content in most fruits and vegetables of about 5%. That's all we need for health most of the time, with the occasional extra boost of an avocado/coconut etc. Since you're focusing on super low fat atm, simply leave the overt fats out of your soup. Having a bit more than 5% fat seems to work better for most people long-term (say 6-7% overall--not per day necessarily), but at first it's good to do what you're doing and go low-fat for 1-3 months. Great job! :)

These are awesome ideas! New food goals, for sure.

I like the depth of the first six minutes because catching up to one's own life to the start of their own comparison sake is vital to get your mind set understanding to much the same extent.

I'm so in love with you!!!!! I can watch your channels all day every day hehe Thanks so much for all your info. I cant really focus on reading about raw food but I can watch your videos!!!

Hi John, I've been watching your inspiring gardening vids for years, very glad to have just found this channel as well, what a great surprise :) You seem like a very cool guy and a great person, all the best in all your endeavours!

Thanks, I will plan on ensuring quality like that when I can make my dream kitchen.

Thanks for the message that 'Soups are more nutrient dense than Salads'. I've been on raw food for the last 1 year and basically eating Salads. Will look to now incorporate soups in my diet.

Hi John. Thank you for this inspirational video. I've learned a lot about nutricious and yet delicious soup. I am very much interested in buying your book. Where can I buy it?

you are a mentor for me! i been vegan for over 0 years now! ad you help me to get here!! thank John! you Rawk

really good thank you i learned a lot.

What a great video !!! I never thought to make a regular diet out of raw soups. I’m 2 years vegan and 2 weeks raw. I love the idea of eating these soups as a regular meal. You are right. You are getting so many more nutrients this way. I can’t wait to try this soup. Thank you. 😃👍

Yes! Great idea.

I've taken your advice about the soups. Juicing and green smoothies made a great deal of difference in my health. So it makes perfect sense that blending my salads into soups would as well. Last night I made a delicious soup based loosely on Christina's epic marinara with zucchini 'noodles', Crudo Pomodoro Basilico Zuppa con Vermicelli.

That soup looks so delicious. Thank you. I am going to make this with my butternut squash and the amazing veggies and spices in my frig. I can't wait!

John is an authority on raw.... I would personally enjoy feeling the difference 41:33 without cooking a soup he's conjured together, too!

I very nice video review Thank You Very Much Appreciate,,, God Bless Peace ...

Your videos are always such a great help and I have always loved Asian foods, your recipes are so easy and definitely satisfy my Asian food appetite.

You are so cool, John. Thank you for all of this valuable information.

great class john you are one of the top raw food educators out their , thank you my friend.

good info...thank you

Thank you, John! I love your videos. So inspiring! Encouraging - - - I'm looking forward to eating more raw!

I love this guy's personality!

I can't wait to try this. I believe it's very easy to make simple raw soups as long as you have the tools. Thanks for the info, I'll be trying this out hopefully tomorrow as my dinner meal. I'll probably still have a salad as well...force of habit.

Hey its the growing your greens dude. Bless up John! In the summer I watch your grading vids daily. Didn't know you made raw food shows too! You da man!!

I now live in Vegas so thank you for all the Vegas videos!

Just made this. It was delicious :)

Absolutely AMAZING! The ultimate raw vegan soup formula I was looking for. Thank you so much and God bless!

Thanks John for using Minh's Noodle Tool and mentioning our website. Appreciate that. Keep up the good work! Ronnie & Minh

good stuff, great channel. i won't ever go fully raw but more than 50% i would like to strive for. thanks for your info, awesome.

Great! Thanks!

Great info!

Wow, this one made my mouth water. :)

Best video so far john!

Made soup again last night... Miso style. Liquids- made sesame seed milk, and again a little carrot/celery juice (figure if I wasnt doing raw Id be using a veggie broth that would have carrot/celery in it). Flavors- leek, garlic, ginger, serrano pepper chix-pea Miso. Texture- Wakame, Sea spaghetti (sea palm) little left over r. bell pepper, and a handful home sprouted chix peas. Fat- the seasme milk. It was delish! I would love to read what other combinations other people come up w/!!

JOHN IS THE MAN! hands down killing it on the raw food diet! GROW YOUR GREENS BABY!!!

love it

Great! What was the juicer you were using? do you sell it? thanks!!!

This man is so creative with his recipes that its actually scary, who would have thought to replace water as a soup base, the man has a big brain .. surprised his head isn't 7 inches wide!

wonderful class I learned a lot! where can I order your recipe book?

awesome video!

I Love hearing your stuff:-)

Which ingredient did you tell you used at 43:00? I truly love this video! The best raw soup ever! You should make cooking videos, a cooking book! Thanks!

John, I grow a lot of my own foods (we just built a greenhouse for year round growing). I have a juicer but it doesn't really juice greens very well. It is a masticating blender. I have SO many greens. I would really like to juice some. I want to ask for a new juicer for my birthday, but I'm not sure what kinds would be best. Do you have a suggestion.

What was the blender you were using? It looked like a Vitamix, but I've never seen one with the ridge on the side and around the back.

Thank you John, always educational, useful we all appreciated.. I have question about "natto". You mentioned in video. Would you let us know WHO makes nonGMO, ORGANIC soybeans, and also NATTO ? You said it's in CA...? Thank you very much.

thanks man.a good video.

I love this...can't wait to try it, have you ever used a Nutribullet??? I can "drink" anything I add it that, just wondered if the coconut would blend better in a nutribullet?

You should come out with your own raw food recipe book!

That was fantastic! How di I order your recipe book?

Hi Ronnie, I love this tool, it works fantastic. Do you sell one with a wood handle also? It looks like John has one with a wood handle.

fantastic! come to skandinavia too!

Thanks John, I love your okraw vids, you should do more of them if your able. How about a vid of that coconut curry soup with mango pieces you mentioned here - sounds delish. :-)

Thank you :)

Awesome‼✊️👍❤️

Thankyou 🙏🙏🙏

Hey John, Where can we get your raw recipe book? Do you have it as a download ebook?

You have been enlightened! You are totally a lightworker / Bodhi / Guru / Spiritual helper person! Meta-namaste! I love your videos and use them all of the time! ~ @PsychicSuesie

whats your opinion of straining the mixture through a knee high stocking? that's how I make vegetable juice.

you just brought my vegan diet to another higher level, can not wait to start making these receipes

Hi John! I was wondering why you rarely eat mushrooms? I've heard pros and cons regarding eating them. Thanks!!

This video prompted me to re-subscribe to your channel after a long hiatus. Nice work.

I want to make soups, but I need (for now) to keep the fat really super low. I currently do no overt fats (no seeds, nuts or avocado) for health reasons. I do 80-10-10. Your teaching included nuts and even coconut water in the soup. What do you suggest for me?

Hi John, I have been making miso with sprouted chickpeas and koji. I haven't heard of anyone else using this method. Is there anything that comes to your mind that I should be concerned about or watching for?

LOVE THIS! you are 2 cool

You are a legend man💯🥥

Which juicer are you using? Do you warm anything you eat?

did you have a handout to this that you can put up as download?

this was epic!

You are a good men. Try to stay that way. Thanks

Great!! thanks so much, John how old/young! are you!! :-D

WOW!!! LOL. That is amazing lol. Some of the things you mentioned I don't even know what they are but I am guessing they have MOUNDS of nutrients in them. Do you get gas after drinking that? I probably would since I don't digest things very well :(.

Totally forgot I watched this vid a cple weeks ago. Like you said some times it takes hearing things twice b4 they sink in... I recently watched and posted under your vid 'How to Make a Raw Vegan Soup with any Ingredients you have on Hand" thought I would repost here because its more recent & has twice as many views. Give Thanks!

Dang, John. You look so healthy and vibrant! I hope I look like that for a long time! You’re awesome! ♥️

Hi John! I've been changing the oils I've been preparing meals with and I was wondering what you thought of Moringa oil, Argan oil and Olive oil. I'm in Spain and this is the land of Olive trees, so we have cold pressed olive oil from our surrounding trees, organic, of course. The olives were harvested and pressed the same day back in January. How good or not so good is this oil for my diet? The Argan oil is coming from Africa, also cold pressed and organic. Moringa oil I've bought online. These oils are supposedly very nutricious. I do have organic coconut oil as well, so which oils should I mainly use? I do use quite a bit of oils on my salads, plus add a mixture of fresh seeds as a topping as well. No wonder I'm not losing any weight, but I'm also in menopause, and I guess you wouldn't be able to help me with the woes that have come with it like the Hot Flashes which are sometimes debilitating. Going on four yrs now, those hot flashes, so I feel like I'm doing something wrong with my diet. THE MORE I TRY TO FIGURE what my body needs to fix itself, the more I get confused and frustrated, but your videos have been inspiring me to try again and again, to figure things out. Thank You

Where can we buy your recipe book John?

Picked up Costco greens in the big bag... last couple times they have been going bad too soon. I cannot afford to run back and forth to return $5 bag, although they would likely process it, they are good about that. .99 stores are a lifesaver for those of us who rely on more creative methods of feeding ourselves. I have been getting organic celery hearts here, on occasion. Hothouse cukes, nearly 2 lbs each, a variety of hothouse tomatoes and peppers on the cheap. I do live in LA area, so you have that.

LOL! love it!!! i am drinking a smoothie(in 50 oz blender i put)with watermelon,banana,coconut,flaxseeds,raw soaked almonds,pumpkin and sunflower seeds,brazil nuts,cinnamon,aloe,half each of lemon,lime,orange,3 habaneros, kiwi,apple,strawberries,red n black rasberries,blueberries,coconut oil,then from my yard i add 6 kinds of mint,pansies,roses,marigolds,celosias,nasturtiums.i think thats about it?i drink at least 2 of these every day,3 if i can afford it that week.i mix that many greens 4 juice
