Do you use organic produce or ingredients?

Yes! Euphoria loves Rawvolution believes strongly in the health benefits and sustainability that organic food promotes and we use organic ingredients exclusively. This also means we use no foods that have been genetically modified.

Is this food vegan?Yes! We use no animal products whatsoever.


I'm athletic, will this food have enough protein for me? According to the American Dietetic Association the average person will not suffer a protein deficiency if they eat a variety of fruits and vegetables in a 24-48 hour period. There is protein in all fruits, vegetable, nuts and seeds.If you feel you require still more protein, we suggest the only organic, vegan and raw protein supplement, Hemp Protein which is available at our store (2301 Main Street in Santa Monica).



Do you employ the principles of proper food combining?Yes, to some degree. Basic food combining guidelines are kept with the understanding that our primary goal is to provide you with nutritious, raw food that is tasty and enjoyable.


Do you use tofu or soy products?We use no tofu and no soy with the exception of Nama Shoyu, an unpasteurized, organic soy sauce.


I'm allergic to wheat/grains; do you use grains?The only ingredient we use that contains a small amount of grain is Nama Shoyu, an unpasteurized, organic soy sauce. Some people with celiac disease have reported no trouble with this product or our food; others found that it aggrivated their condition. You of course, should decide for yourself. We are not medical doctors and offer no medical advice.


Will I lose weight eating this food?Yes; if you need to. Raw food has a tendency to normalize one's body weight. The raw ingredients we use that contain fat (nuts and seeds etc.), naturally contain an enzyme called lipase that digest fat and allow them to be metabolized by the body and not stored as fat. Since our food is not cooked, it maintains the lipase as well as other important enzymes (protease and amylase etc.). Ultra-low fat diets, those recommending below 10% of caloric intake from fat, have been shown to greatly increase the risk of deficiencies of essential fatty acids (EFAs). EFAs are basic, essential nutrients important for heart health, mental function, skin health and many other body functions. Too little fat in the diet can also prevent the absorption of fat soluble vitamins, such as A,D,E and K.


I don't eat sweets, what about the desserts? Keep in mind that we use no white sugar or artificial sweeteners, we sweeten our desserts with raw, organic agave nectar which has a milder effect on the blood sugar than even dates or honey and is not fattening. Our desserts are health food and yet, they taste amazing!


Do you make substitutions?No. In order to offer hand-made, raw, gourmet, food made with the finest organic ingredients, at a reasonable price, we make only standard orders.


How can you make things like pizza if the food isn't cooked?Our breads and crusts are made in a food dehydrator and dried at a low temperature (105 degrees) to maintain their nutritional integrity. Our cheeses and sauces etc. are all blended from fresh, raw, vegan ingredients.


The menu says "cheese" and "creamy" what ingredient(s) are you using to make things cheesy and creamy?Because we use only vegan ingredients, our cheeses and creamy dishes are made with nuts and seeds such as raw almonds, walnuts, macadamia nuts, pine nuts and sunflower seeds etc.
