Kristen Suzanne is a raw food chef who strives to help people live a full life with what she claims is the most healthful cuisine in the world. She is a cookbook author, radio and television personality and a raw foods coach.

She is the author of 11 cookbooks with recipes for raw food: Kristen’s Raw: The Easy Way to Get Started & Succeed with Raw Food; Kristen Suzanne’s Raw Entrees; Kristen Suzanne’s Raw Desserts; Kristen Suzanne’s Raw Salads & Dressings; Kristen Suzanne’s Raw Soups; Kristen Suzanne’s Raw Sides & Snacks; Kristen Suzanne’s Raw Smoothies, Juices, Elixirs & Drinks; Kristen Suzanne’s Raw Holidays; Kristen Suzanne’s Raw Food Dehydrating; Kristen Suzanne’s Ultimate Raw Vegan Hemp Recipes; and Kristen Suzanne’s Ultimate Raw Vegan Chocolate Recipes.

Before she discovered the Raw Food Movement, Kristen admits to eating an unhealthful diet. She says she used to exist on caffeine and pills as well as a diet loaded with protein-rich meats and other foods. Always tired and never feeling too well, she investigated a vegan diet, which soon she turned into a raw vegan diet. Today she says she feels far better than she ever has.

A raw diet, Kristen explains, consists of fruits, vegetables, sprouts, seeds, and nuts prepared in novel ways, often as much more healthful versions of familiar cooked dishes. It includes everything from pizza, to burritos, burgers, lasagna, and ice cream. She also says that with a raw diet, you lose weight and never grain it back again.
