Ask me what you want to know about the Raw Food lifestyle. I have been eating raw on and off for 27 years, long before it was hip and cool.

    Good afternoon!
    I have a question for you. I started the 10 day green smoothies today and my the sugar on my food diary is through the roof. Are the sugars in raw fruits as bad as pure cane sugar? Can I ignore the sugar while having smoothies?
    I just started eating a banana as a snack and noticed the sugars. Yikes!
    I would love to ignore this while going through the green smoothies. Whats your thoughts?

    Jane that is an excellent question. The daily sugar gram limit for women is 24 grams or 6 teaspoons. Fortunately, they are talking about "added" sugar such as table sugar, honey, maple syrup, sugar added to foods like ketchup. However, that being said, just be mindful of not overdoing sugar even in fruit. Avoid dried fruits because they are concentrated sugar. The more available sugar your body has the less it will draw from stored fat for energy.
