The Rawtarian Says:

"Just makin' sure you have a blender and a food processor." (And, YES, you need both!)

You will need both a blender and a food processor to complete this course.

While I don't wish to distract you from proceeding with the course right now, please take the steps to acquire a blender and a food processor as soon as possible.

Blender

Your blender is the most crucial part of being a raw vegan. Blenders are used to make smoothies, puddings, sauces, and much more. I recommend the VitaMix. It's the best blender you can get, it's large, but it isn't cheap! There is no alternative to a good blender. If you must, you can use a cheaper, personal blender but I guarantee that your existing blender will not blend as well and the motor will burn out over time. Don't feel bad if you can't afford one right away. But plan on buying a VitaMix at some point soon. At least put it on your Christmas list!

 

Food Processor

You need a blender and a food processor. This here is a great food processor, but you do not need such a good one. My honest recommendation is to use the food processor that you have at home. If you do not have a food processor then simply go to your local big box store and choose a medium priced food processor (perhaps in the $50 range). Invest any extra money into the VitaMix blender above, please!

 

(A dehydrator is not required.)

Bonus: Audio Training

For more details, listen to The Rawtarian's 30-minute audio recording on the topic of raw appliances. She explains the order in which she purchased her raw food kitchen appliances, including cheap blender, food processor, high-speed blender and dehydrator. She also briefly touches on secondary appliances like spiralizers and juicers.

Assignment:

  • I own a blender.
  • I own a food processor.
  • Optional: I have listened to the 30-minute audio training.
