Raw food can contain salmonella occasionally.
My friend who makes a raw veggie smoothie every morning said that beets & bananas are key to good taste.

Eating raw can get pretty expensive!
There are some smoothie recipes here, but the ingredients maybe expensive:

This book recommends the following pricey equipment:
  • Excalibur Dehydrator
  • Champion Juicer (Heavy Duty Industrial Model)
  • Vita-Mix Blender (TurboBlend 4500)
  • Sumeet Grinder
I just bought a BlendTech from Costco. It's pretty pricey at almost $400 bucks but it is way superior to the Vita-Mix. Not to mention that if anything goes wrong a month from now or 5 years from now.....I can return it for a full refund. You gotta love Costco sometimes....
