What 30 Days Raw ISN'T

  • This is not a secret plan to get you to go vegan! You're a grown up. We're here to make raw-vegan food easy and fun! What you do in the future is up to you.

  • It's not about losing weight! Although there's a good chance you'll lose some l-bs, weight loss NOT the goal.

  • No one's going to bug you if you don't stick to the plan. However, we WILL give you colorful, delicious new foods to try that you can work into your family's mealtime in the future.

Don't miss your chance to try 30 Days Raw!

We only offer this class twice a year. Enter your email for more information about how going raw-vegan for 30 Days can give you a fresh start!
