What is the connects of raw foods as an addition to a Paleo/Primal diet?

Someone I am working with on another level is also a health coach but she is not Paleo, she is recommending that I try some raw food green smoothies. I was thinking that perhaps a few would be ok.

I used to study energetic nutrition and herbalism and I know that to eat a completely raw diet is too cold and damp for most people, but some of these smoothies sound yummy and I am just wondering if anyone else adds this element to their diet?

    I just eat raw veggies - a big salad, or crudites, most days. Why does it need to be a smoothie?

    It doesn't. I do eat raw, I just have a friend who wants me to do this green smoothie "cleanse" I don't buy into that because our bodies know how to cleanse themselves when given non-crappy/processed and fake food. (preaching to the choir)

    Some of them look good though, and easy and yummy. I also think on occasion it would be a convenience.

    I don't go into it too much with my friend, but I think she might be a raw food person. I love raw, but I believe we need a variety. I don't like getting into dietary debates, lol.


    It's ok n ot to answer this because I tried to delete it because I realized that I knew the answer and I just had to think it through. I was just wowed by all of the green smoothie talk, hahaha.

    So, never mind ;)
