I think that John is one of the very few really successful long-term raw vegans.

[@Joseph-eq5od]

Hey john kohler Id really like you to make a video on "A raw vegan's beginner garden", telling people how to get the most calories from their own gardens. Maybe even a mini series!

[@paolav9295]

I don't only eat raw but I find great the way John promotes eating healthy and motivates people to grow their own food. It is all about take our health in our own hands. For a more healthy and compassionate world: live Vegan !

[@baconandeggs80]

Never stop the what I eat in a day videos. 20 years raw is inspiring and getting an idea as to what you consume is extremely educational. Thank you!

[@Rawllywood]

John, I have to say that you are adorable, so childlike and beautiful. Thanks for the video. You are inspiring.

[@MyFrankr]

Agree

[@dianeibsen5994]

Sweet heart💖

[@DinerHistoryStaff]

I like how you keep your meals simple. Yet with enough variety to help prevent food fatigue.

[@divakimmy]

I love what I eat in a day videos! They inspire different fruit and veggie combos for me. Love it!

[@Hall1bd]

Been following Growing your greens for years and I was unaware of this other project. I am starting to gain a strong interest in eating raw vegan and am pleased to see your expertise is available. Thanks for being a great inspiration in so many healthy and beneficial ways, take care!

[@queenbee6656]

im so grateful that you dedicate so much of your time to help us all be the best version of our selfs possible, THANK YOU! i love your light

[@FishnPlants]

I just really like seeing your random recipes! Just throwing things in and having it delicious!

[@dianeibsen5994]

So great to hear you say that John about listening to your body! Tuning into your body what it needs for energy/calories.

[@socal7044]

This is very helpful to me, I don't have a lot of imagination when it comes to coming up with recipe ideas. And yours are nice and simple. Defiantly do more, Thanks

[@julesmbc]

This video made me smile all the way through, your energy is so great! Thanks for showing a healthy example of long term raw veganism. I feel like most, are not getting the variety, so appreaciate that you emphasize that!

[@focuswithflo.entities]

Hi John,great video and great info as always...:).Thank you for sharing !

[@VirginiaRux]

You're knowledgeable, I like seeing what you eat and getting ideas!

[@rozchristopherson648]

I luv this video !!!! Thanks for showing how to get the seeds out of a pomegranate without picking them individually. 👍😃

[@helenarussell3118]

That salad looked sooo good! Thanks for sharing, it is very inspiring.

[@terrycarver2776]

Thanks for sharing. Iv'e been Raw for 2 weeks now. Loving this lifestyle.

[@linzertube]

Everything looked delicious and very nutritious. Thanks for this glimpse into your meals, and, thanks for all the great tips, John.

[@LeticiaMichelle93]

omg those greens were so wonderfully crunchy! Great video admire the effort you put into it!

[@jenniferbarrera8340]

Wow John! This video was incredible! I've learned so much valuable information about eating raw from your video, thank you! There were so many simple tips that I immediately started adapting into my raw food life. You have also inspired and gotten me very excited about growing my own food, your message is working and I love the passion you have for what you do! I would love if you made more "what I eat in a day videos", for sure! I will start watching all of your garden videos to prepare for my food growing adventures. You mentioned a few times about vitamins, minerals, phytonutients and phytochemicals…what are the differences between them all? Thank you so much John, keep spreading your life changing empowering message!!!

[@mayfranz700]

Good food! This is why John has full of liveliness and energy! Yes I love to know what u eat in a day. I like the way u eat. Hope I can do the same way. I've been searching for probiotics and glad you showed what probiotic you use. I'm gonna check that out. Thanks!

[@BritzyAsh]

I am learning so much on your channel! I was going to ask about calories and robotics but you answered those in this video. Thank you, John!

[@BritzyAsh]

probiotics*

[@ctawzer]

Really thorough video. Thanks so much!

[@MichelleseaChelle]

I love these videos. They're like real life cooking shows. 😀

[@leskemp33]

I wish you would teach gardening classes! Whenever you show your garden, I am amazed.

[@ritamiller1645]

Thanks this will help me with info to do better with diet. Waiting to get my garden done so I can grow

[@StunningDesigns]

This video was really helpful. Thank you!

[@pdude1911]

Great video John, I hope you do more of these! That's not a lot of food for one day, I think, but whatever works for you :-)

[@MrsSmithsince08]

I absolutely love your garden. It's a dream omg

[@SierraSpartical]

I have been loving my granny smith apples with lemon squeezed on top in the morning. No dinner until I have had a grapefruit. Both eaten 20 minutes before anything else. feeling great!

[@skiaddict08]

Wow John, this is really inspiring me, truly!

[@blackLiquidTokyoska]

Great Video, I'd love to see more like this!

[@irmacruz7771]

Great Pomegranate tip. Thank you for sharing have a great day!

[@hannahwc608]

Your videos inspire me. I just wish they would inspire my garden LOL! I can't seem to grow much but I keep trying... and watching. I am doing container gardening in City Pickers in Zone 7a/6b . Not too sure what I am doing wrong. It didn't do well last year, so I am trying again this year. Thinking doing one box 1/2 romaine and 1/2 spinace and the other 1/2 carrots and 1/2 beets. Then I will try I separate container for tomoatoes and a window box for cukes and another window box for beans trellised (these actually did do well).

[@mummywrightify]

Oh wow, as always, if I fed my family this, I would have to buy a TON of stuff, I try to grow as much as we can here in the UK in our tiny garden, but mostly I have to buy stuff, and this would cost me a fortune! organic is so expensive here, and we don't have organic markets local. but I do my best, I am in the process of helping my husband and the kids go vegan, so far so good, although my son (15) is not sure he can do it, but I am a good cook, and I have so many channels on here that I follow for good recipes, much love, and keep on sharing xx

[@sourgummiez]

Freaking love your personality, it adds so much fire to your videos! ENERGY!!

[@chandlerocean4886]

I'm the 1000th person to like!!!!! LOVE YOU OKRAW!♡♡♡

[@sonjevity]

Will you make a video regarding cobalt/soil/b12 , you mentioned it briefly in the video. Thanks. Also more what you eat in a day videos...

[@sunnymoore8823]

This video was perfect!!! Thanks

[@luceymajor]

Beautiful green garden!

[@MyFrankr]

Hi I like your videos especially when you describe the taste of the different ingredients in the dressing :-)

[@vidiesel]

I so glad to see that you have the same serving size of salad that I eat. I always get judgement from my family when they see I eat such a large bowl of salad, LOL.

[@lizajane54]

I agree with your "eat only when you're hungry" philosophy. And as you said, it might not be until 2 pm. (me too!)

[@montiago123]

Thank you for the video... This is what i want to learn. Good job and good work. Ur video motivate me and i motivate u by Thumbs up you!

[@mangoxpizza]

loved the super berry concoction!! :)

[@poolahpot]

Awesome video John! Thanks for taking the time as always. Your face seems to shine before going to bed. Do you put coconut oil on your face? Cute doggie!!! ♥️

[@jasonrtz]

John, I found this video very interesting. I would definitely like to see more videos if not an entire series progressing a week to even a month. I'd also really like to know the cost of such a diet. Thanks again.

[@leigha8428]

More of these vids, please!

[@pen_journal]

Wow! Love your energy John! Love this awesome video share! BTW, what do u feed your dog? Just curious! :)

[@2livelovelaughalot]

Thank you so much. I feel so dopey because I never thought about how to get the pom seeds out of the skin. Thanks. I didn't think you could chew them like that either. I thought you had to spit the seeds out. Never knew how to eat them.

[@julesmbc]

You should maybe think of doing quick glimpse "what I eat in a day" vids this December, for *"VlogMas" (think that's what it's called)*... would be super interesting! Would love to see that, and give everyone a longer, well rounded view of how to do things :) Thank again, John!

[@JuicingGardener]

Fantastic video, John! Love the salad dressing. The mac nuts make it really creamy. :-)

[@BonetLifestyles]

Great video bro!

[@brendacard1447]

yes make another vided like this one

[@XaniaMore]

Hi John - Thanks for posting. Really beautiful greens - and your smoothie recipe looks wonderful, I will be making it. I've never heard of Reuteri powder so have a question, do you need to keep it refrigerated. Thanks :)

[@elliewolfert5469]

John, it would be wonderful if you held a week or two long retreat in Finca de Vida, have you seen how many teachers use it for this... We would go there in a jiffy if it was YOUR retreat!

[@1grace]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world. I find it really inspiring because being vegan is great for the world and benefits everyone. :)

[@noorinut3744]

Excellent videos, God bless you

[@rocbola]

Hey, i have that same blender! I got it from your website.

[@adamblister6005]

In an ideal world, I'd have John as my own personal chef.

[@mariojuana]

Love these vids

[@whykatera81]

Bro that salad made my mouth water.

[@lindsaybailey5613]

I enjoyed this video and like what you had to say about calories. I have always been that way and follow what my body is telling me. What B12 supplement do you take?

[@RoboTekno]

Great video. Please make more recipe videos :-)

[@TheLastLogicalOne]

I'm not a raw foodie or vegetarian, though I avoid processed food (inc. supplements) and red meat as much as possible. I think your videos can still be very informative to everybody. A Growing your greens SUB

[@amirprog]

make another what i eat in a day. they are really nice.

[@joelleaittama1416]

Wow, would love to grow my greens, but it would be hard in Michigan. 🙁

[@muffnman707]

come up to Humboldt area sometime soon. lets link up

[@willdiveinbali]

20 years of raw food, congrats! How old are you by the way?

[@shellbell8062]

Is combining orange and macadamia nuts ok? I thought that was a no-no? Also, please tell how you manage to keep the snails away from your lovely greens.

[@youngforever4888]

+okraw hey you may have talked about this in your other vids but what do you thinik of the clean 15 and dirty dozen? i see you mentioned buying organic just wondering if you consider that a valid guide...

[@ShroomFactory]

Thank you!

[@VermiciousKnids100]

Do you not wash you greens when you pick them from the garden? I didn't see you wash them, and they didn't look wet when you was cutting them up. Or do you just eat them straight without washing them?

[@madishradish]

Hi John! What do you think about food combining on a raw food diet? Thanks for all the great videos! ♥

[@crwilliamsgupton]

Where do you get your beans? I went to the site and couldn't find a place to purchase

[@beakf1]

Hey John i eat everything raw except potatoes egg pant and butternut squash which i make roast wedges out off and roast the seeds. Is that still raw?? because you can eat potatoes raw and i include then for variety (but not as a staple like most use them)

[@esmeraelillywing612]

So... what do I do if I am rarely hungry? I am serious, I don't usually have an appetite at all. How do you "force" yourself to eat enough?

[@noitalfed]

John what is your macronutrient ratio. How many calories do you consume daily on average?

[@fbales]

What's your weekly food cost (factor in what you grow yourself).

[@zapproowsdower]

How important do you think those superfoods and probiotics are for daily consumption? I'm curious because many in the whole foods community don't believe in such things. Although, that seems more of a faith in whole foods, opposed to finding a diet optimized for nutrition. Do you notice a difference with them?

[@pikachucatchem1595]

what does your dog eat? That sounds silly maybe but is there a certain health principle you lay out for him?

[@JayHaurat]

Mmm looks berry delicious!

[@TheLastLogicalOne]

I wonder about the benefits of probiotics, how much of beneficial bacteria survives after passing the stomach?. Oh also noticed, don't you use any herbs? perhaps they're too strong of a flavour uncooked?

[@TheMdub27]

Do you still get the anti oxidants if you buy frozen berries?

[@siriusneo6517]

a berry good smoothie!

[@almapineda4838]

could you include chia food? is a superfood too.

[@TheMarie20]

Looks delicious!! :-)

[@LauraTeAhoWhite]

I'm not a raw vegan (I'm a lacto-ovo vegetarian) but in saying that I have learnt to appreciate raw food and apply more of it to my diet. Thanks john for the ideas, I will be sure to incorporate them into my current diet.

[@mathiaslindberg411]

VeganGaymer Doesn't make sense. Vegans eat plants.

[@Angie-rm7ll]

Haha same here Laura Te Aho-White

[@LauraTeAhoWhite]

VeganGaymer I raise my own animals, so no cruelty here.

[@Angie-rm7ll]

I eat eggs for b12 because I don't like supplements... I buy eggs from a friend who owns chickens :) no beak chopping involved

[@LauraTeAhoWhite]

VeganGaymer I raise my own livestock, I take the roosters to a sanctuary where they live with other chickens. I'm a vegetarian, so I don't eat meat and my vitamin b12 is fine. My female chickens (hens) are pets and they have plenty of use after they have finished laying, they help make compost for me. Again, no cruelty here.

[@allieshepherd7860]

Are you using organic young coconuts? Where can I find them? The ones I found so far have brown spots on them, so I didn't purchase them. Nice garden.

[@noitalfed]

You are the juicer king. Although you did not juice much in this day of eating I have seen you do a lot of juicing. Arguably you produce the best produce on the planet. When we juice we throw away most of the fiber and hence prebiotics along with the minerals and micro-nutrients in the pulp. For those who do not have ideological objections wouldn't cooking the greens not juicing them yield more phyto-nutrients and prebiotics in our diet?

[@flexnetuser2268]

I cook my greens. Some veggies are healthier cooked. And my weakened digestive system can handle the cooked veggie fiber but not much raw. Fruits are great tho.

[@msinbalony]

Combination question: The coconut meat is very fatty, no?? and aren't you supposed to seperate fruits and fats?

[@mariefalk5176]

please make what do you eat in a day

[@RawMadeSimple]

Awesome

[@pesto12601]

$40 blender full right there... yup... must be nice! Also, can you address the "black rubber" controversy with the vitamin blenders? Seems like you have been eating teflon all these years.. so much fully raw!

[@bencartner7988]

John do you ever use salt? Also does pomegranate contain Estrogen?

[@freeinformation9869]

What about noro-virus?

[@freewaybaby]

John, or anyone, is anybody able to grow lettuces during the hot season that doesn't get bitter? I wondered if maybe trying to grow it in partial shade (letting it only have morning sun) would work, even though the temps are obviously still high during the dead of summer... central Texas heat. Thanks for ideas and replies! Happy gardening!

[@mariefalk5176]

what do you eat instead of salt.why should one eat just rawffod an not cooked vegan as well

[@a.bell47]

no hemp??
