Raw Chocolate Shake

[arkor7]

annoying girl , im leaving!!!

[thugricanz]

If he says it taste good.. GO FOR IT because avocado have healthy fats! It is so good for you.

[pookiroo]

who wants to eat all those nuts. yuck. i am not buying what you are selling. i would rather drink chocolate soya milk.

[laphant]

i drank raw green juice from a blender once and time warped into next week...picked up my paycheck without working that week..... so this proves there are benefits ot raw foods diet...also next time i made the juice i was so advanced that i tossed the liquid up in the air,and strained before it came back down into the glass by waving my hands to separate the solids from the liquids...this also proves that a raw foods diet is excellent...

I like raw food. But I'm not anal about it. Raw foodists claim their lifestyles as best. "Eat only raw foods because cooked foods cause bad health & disease," they say to frighten the masses. But cooking also kills bacteria that causes disease & death. "Cooking destroys enzymes & nutrients..." they say. Cooking actually helps to make more nutrients bio-available. Food enzymes die quickly in stomach acids. Enzymes in saliva have adapted for millions of years to survive thus aid digestion better.

Thank you! I will try your recipe. Sadly, I went through a 5 pound bag of raw almonds over the holidays. I had to show off my new soy/nut/seed milk maker. I can't get my next shipment fast enough!

BTW, I will often include a date or two in my almond smoothie to cut down on the raw honey or agave usage. I'm not sure if dates are considered raw or not but I'm not hung up on the strict raw diet, anyway. When it comes to food my tastes are ecclectic. Thanks, again.

[metaspherz]

Soy milk pro & con debates continue but I love the stuff. I make my own with steel cut oats, barley, agave & hemp seeds.

I love raw almond milk. And raw cacao too, but it does have its risks that outweigh those seen with soy products. Raw cacao can harm the liver, kidneys, is addictive & in large quantities (i.e. 40 beans) it has similar side-effects as LSD & hashish. In my college days during the early 70's I experimented with raw cacao beans as an adjunct to a science project. WOW! :P

[metaspherz]

Here's the problem with strict vegans & strict raw foodists. "They both see the world as either black or white; no gray areas."

Neither see eye-to-eye 100%. A vegan can be a raw foodist but raw foodists may eat raw animal products, like specially raised chickens! Some raw foodists think live mealworms are a dessert when prepared with raw almond cream, sesame seeds & raw honey. Would a vegan eat such a dish? Absolutely not! Would a raw foodist consume only raw veggies? Maybe, but unlikely.

[ratiocinativeness]

I put raw chocolate (cacao) in my morning smoothie... mixes well with cashews and almonds... freakin good stuff!!

[kimbstead1]

Honey, is not an animal product, it's made from bees....bees are not animals they are INSECTS! Silly....lol someone needs to go back to school and learn where foods comes from....by the way I know lots of vegans who use honey! And the local honey is great for alergies!

[heavenlyangelsrhere]

@kimbstead1 yay!!! honey is a wonderful healer for many things...

[adamsmith85]

Anyone who is a vegan can lick my hairless ball sack.

[sab628]

she is very interesting ! i don't think she is showing off, she is passionate about the subject, like i am :D

[Podlingtonmu]

@quietbeauty...I totally agree, it took her 20 years to make what should have taken 2 minutes

[QuietBeauty101]

Too bad this lady couldn't just make the smoothie without grandstanding so much. It's a precious waste of time. Would've preferred to get the demonstration without all the ''personality''.

[heyalain]

@QuietBeauty101 this was a workshop... she is teaching, not grandstanding. (PS. for know-it-alls... fast-forward)

[BlaineDeschain]

I'm going to eat a nice steak dinner tonight, some oreos and warm vanilla milk after the gym and watch a vegan and laugh.

[brendandylanmaloney]

What a life ! Hanging in the tropics and changing peoples lives ! Now that is living ! I am doing this, I am so inspired !

[sexagain]

Oh... thats what nut milk is lol. Your not going to belive what i thought Nut milk was before I saw this video. I was like, People bake shakes out of "nut milk" N.F.W!

[Xavier350]

yeah its stupid how people call it milk when it itsnt really milk its just water and nuts blended should be called a new name in my opinion.

[Smetch]

Whoa, calm down lady! Looks tasty though...

[wijgego]

soy milk sucks for you. soy is kind of bull shit -- I agree.

goat's milk is God, though. we've evolved to drink it (westerners)

it takes a baby up to 8 hours to digest cow's milk, but only 20 minutes to digest goat's milk. and it's has 10x the amount of taurine in it, the reason red-bull is has the name bull.

+goat's looooove to be milked, so if we didn;t use it all the little goats would be in terrible pain.

[SCOTTDAVIDSON32]

I drink raw milk (cow milk) wish I could get raw goat milk =o(

[Andreya01]

It depends if the soy is GMO or not, I suppose.. (GMO soy is the terror, I agree..) otherwise, in small amounts, I sppose, like everything..

you're lucky to have goats' milk, yeah..

/as for being milked - well, the ideal function of goats milk is food for little goats, no?/

But I agree it's very healthy, my neighbours son was ill a lot & was then cured by goats milk!!

[Xavier350]

yeah shame you cant buy it raw, just so processed its dangerous for your health and not worth consuming.

[funkaeb]

cheers, salut, lehaim

[downunderockbar]

Where can I get cheaper almonds from?? I have been buying them from grocery stores but they are very expensive and I'm not sure how healthy they are for you!!

[aipyor]

an indian store or asian market

[neraknerak]

i have to agree. wear gloves. that's disgusting. skin cells, bacteria, fungus, grossness. enjoy.

[worlddynasty]

you should wear gloves during demo. yuk

[shestudios]

So not the point here....

[modemlooper]

its a demo like if you were making it at home you wouldnt wear gloves. Your prolly one of those idiots who uses sanitizing gels.

[GuildOfAbundance]

Oh My Goddess that looks sooo yummy!! Thank you.

[Superapplefrog]

To the video maker: You've used the tag 'vegan' when you're using an animal product (honey). Vegans don't eat ANY animal product

[feralfoods]

i fixed the tag. a great alternative to honey is raw agave, which looks and tastes just like honey, and is completely natural too...

[Superapplefrog]

thanks

[BlaineDeschain]

Honey is also natural.

[metaspherz]

@Superapplefrog WTF! Since when is a honey bee an animal? I think the vegans are taking their zealous animal product aversions to obsessive levels! And, yes, some say honey is bee spit. So it's a sugar -- made from the nectar of flowers! But...BUT, raw honey has a complement of phytonutrients, internal & external medicinal properties & shouldn't be totally avoided unless for adverse health reasons. Sure, there are alternatives but none are as versatile, digestable, nutritious or as delicious.

[holisticallyhealthy]

Because many of us believe it is impotant to eat raw, shouldn't we form a petition to congress against the FDA to stop them from pasteurizing our raw nuts?

[Superapplefrog]

They do WHAT?? Woah I hope they don't do that in the UK

[1canospam]

@2:56 Oh yea, love that raw. nut. milk.....dang that pouch can really take a squeeze!

[veganpea]

raw nut milks are good to transition away from cow milk! yeah, we dont need cow milk! it's for their calves remember!

[astayonix]

Wow! This is wonderful! YouTube can change lives!  I didn't know this was possible, and now I'm going to eliminate cow's milk from my diet entirely!

[MicoCoco]

Looks Like A Great place for a raw food retreat. When's your next event? We also like to add royal jelly as an alternative to dates, and also agave sometimes.

thanks for the video ~ !

Thirsty, anyone?
