Raw Food Experiment Day 88 - Chocolate Hemp Protein Smoothie

[DancingSpiderman]

Hubba-Hubba, Gorgeous Girl !

Raw does a girl good, evidently.

[lukehard242]

Sounds good though I am not big on the raw cacao as I find it a bit addictive.

you know whatI love as a prtoein source (in fact my fav...) is........SPIRULINA!!! it is a complete protein and I tried researching the 8 essential amino acids on nutrition data . com and it had one o the highest amounts in most of the essential amino acids!

no right or wrong way but just my observations, do whatever makes one feel good/healthy!

tried raw cacao and at first I liked it btu found was not for me

[truthfighter7]

i hope beer, coffee and meat are considered raw when not cooked properly???

[hippiebutter]

We Love Hemp Seeds at Hippie Butter. Keep making great videos. :P

[kopadarmano]

Nice video!! =)

[aurlis2012]

looooooooooooooooooooove your voice, your eyes look like pure water from the rainfalls of heaven

[DaveRheault]

Excellent video! hempseedlife site for more

[Isis4love]

Are you still using this recipe for protein? How are you liking the HEMP PROTEIN?

I'm about to start supplementing with protein again, i don't want to use whey , but iys hard to gain lean muscle mass without it especially when you are on a somewhat raw or unprocessed all natural diet..

Who makes the particular brand that you are using?

[cubbycab]

cool- i think your experiments are really cool....keep up the god work- many of us really appreciate your pioneering scientific spirit- YAY!!

[Alexca4]

Raw means you have to be vegan! Do your research

[RawDownUnder]

@Alexca4 Is that so :) Care to elaborate?

[robbieerandom]

@Alexca4 No it doesn't... Unpasteurised dairy products are raw, uncooked eggs are obviously raw and unpasteurised honey is also raw. Who told you raw foodists have to be vegan?

[primo6711]

@Alexca4 you can eat raw meat, raw means not cooked....

[blinkme478]

@Alexca4 Not true. Raw honey, raw fish, raw eggs. Last time I checked, a vegan doesn't eat that

[Hyperbole37]

@Alexca4 That's not true at all. While many raw foodists are vegan, it is not a rule set in stone. Many raw foodists consume honey and bee products. Likewise, some even consume milk -- just in its raw, unprocessed state. Perhaps you should be doing some research.

[majorrong]

you are beautiful ..

[amestoni76]

you have great energy

[eriklovessoaps]

You are suppose to drink it...not smoke it!

[Donatello97]

Is Hemp protein powder mercury free? I've been taking Isoflex Whey protein for quite a while now, but there's been that protein powder mercury scare lately, and Isoflex may actually may contain traces of it ;p

[BoricuaChiTown]

i made my raw cacao bliss elixir with coconut milk (if available) and coconut oil, plus the maca, raw cacao powder and hemp powder. Add a frozen banana to make an AWESOME AWESOME raw cacao ice cream.

[artali1]

Your hair is so beautiful :) Is that natral sunbleached? Pretty Pretty :)

And I miss your videos.

<3

Amanda

[ac3man3]

ahhhh what an amazing accent

[csreeves]

Wow!...you're beautiful....and have really good energy.

[torofighter]

cacao "beans" right?

I'm ordering some raw organic hemp protein. Yay hemp seed

[louislestat123]

non raw foodies take coke to get to the spiritual level of where your at now girl..cool

[MadelynWithRawFood]

chia seeds don't taste like anything and they are very small! I LOVE THEM! I add water to them and soak them over night and in the morning I add the chia gel with sliced bananas and other berries! Its amazing!! :)

[sunshineuk1965]

hi, love your energy.... for creamy smoothies I use bananas they're yummy with your green smoothies.

[myfairladyxo]

you look stunning! like a raw lioness or something!

love your videos, xoxo.

[TheNorse51]

can you give me a superfood smoothie recipe with say hemp protein and bee pollen what else should i add???

[TheNorse51]

awesome information i can't wait to start.

[schnotzarella]

You go, grrl! I have to try the salad dressing.

[pescespadaisland]

dairy = staff of death

don't rob your health

drink coconut milk/hemp milk/almond milk

stay away from soy, that shit is deadly and causes problems. LOOK UP IGF insulin growth factor, soy is worse than dairy.

[envisionstar]

@pescespadaisland as well as lowering of testosterone for males and becoming more feminine

[GarbageState]

would it taste good mixed with vanilla or chocolate rice or almond milk?

[RawDownUnder]

Probably :)

[adolescent900]

@GarbageState 1. blender 2. bananas 3. hemp protein 4. lactose and soy free milk = bangin

[viclui77]

do you sell hemp protein? or why promoting it?

[RawDownUnder]

No, just sharing my experience...

[XXVivaLaVidaBellaXX]

i tried living harvest vanilla spice hemp powder...it has hemp, cane sugar maca vanilla and cinnamon its all organic <3 . i mix mines with maca, milk,a bit of coconut oil, hot coca mix, and some ginger. i feel very healthy

[pumpergoodstyle]

are you always that scatty? if so you need meat (to eat (ingest))!

[creejay]

u got to be kidding me man - she's just high on life and the goodness of raw food! who needs meat to weigh their mood down?

[CosmicBoot]

Omg, I mustve watched 100 raw food vids and I still don't know where to start. It's so hard on a budget here in the UK.

This looks awesome though. I am a choc addict so it's good to know there are alternatives.

[lgarvey]

Initially I thought you said you could get "head"!

I just got some hemp protein and cacao. But nearly puked when mixing it together. urgh!

[RawDownUnder]

Mmm, that's a bummer! Try just a heaped teaspoon of hemp with a normal spoonful of cacao. Mix with milk or in cold water with bananas and honey. You need to make it sweet somehow. You definitely need a powerful blender to get a decent smoothie. Hope that helps :)

[lgarvey]

Yeh, I blended it.

I put -

30g hemp

1 tablespoon of cacao about 10g

some blue berries

a load of spinach

two small bananas

some ice and some filtered water

It came out brown coloured and tasted nasty. I think the consistency of the hemp protein is pretty awful. I may just mix it with a small amount of water and use it as a "smoothie chaser."

[RawDownUnder]

Yeah - hemp protein is a bit yuk on it's own, so I've always used more cacao than hemp. I'd at least halve the amount of hemp and up the cacao... I'd leave out the spinach too and make a green smoothie at a different time of day.

You can also use 'Sun Warrior Protein' instead of hemp powder. I discovered it after I made this vid and is much nicer to work with if you want to be adding this kind of protein to your diet.

[RawDownUnder]

Let me know if the 'chaser' works... It might be a bit yuk tho :)

[lgarvey]

Yah, will do. I m trying to get a sizeable amount of protein, so i can eat raw and work out. I know there's the whole "protein fallacy" with raw food, but i'd rather get decent amounts of it. I also like that hemp is loaded with fibre and EFAs - just a shame it tastes like ground down saw dust.

[RawDownUnder]

haha... agreed!

[blackdick3055]

so do you like black .. taco?

[blackdick3055]

mmmm

[FuzzRuddle]

I love you!!!!

[hopesolofan18]

yeah hemp seeds are a complete protien! i love them just in my salad too

[greenlordd]

I will give you the best ever chocolate smoothie !! Trust me, once you try it you<re gona kiss me like you kissed the maca can !!! 1 scoop of hemp protein powder, i handfull Acai berries (or 1 pack of 100g frozen if ou cant get it fresh). 1tbsp Dulce, Water of 1 thai coconut and a palm-full fresh coconut flesh. blend and enjoy!! as for the Mangos. 3 words. Mangoes, Spinach and water for an amaaaaazing green smoothie !!

[greenlordd]

ohhh silly me, i forgot about the cacao !!!( twice the amount as hemp protein )

[greenlordd]

Ohhhh i seriously agree with you !!! Hemp seed protein saved my life !! I am into MMA and i train for up to 3 hours a day 7 das a week. When i went ray my muscles were melting. i actuall lost 30 pounds of muscles i went down to 150 !!!! i was able to go back to 185 in less then 3 months after introducing hemp protein in m diet. next time you order hemp protein, make sure you order hemp seed oil as well. it is the verry best source of essentials fatty acids EVER !

[cellulitelove]

haha I love hemp protein powder. It vaguely reminds me of these certain rice cakes that I used to eat when I lived in South Korea. It tastes good blended with apples and blueberries. mmmmm

[TheMav3rick]

Just curious, does anyone know why it is illegal in some countries? :)

[KARINinLaLaLand]

i think hemp protein taste yucky :(

[RawDownUnder]

It isn't the best ingredient to use. I've since started using the 'Sun Warrior Protein'. It's great if you feel you need it :)

[TheMav3rick]

I didn't care for it the first time i had it either. I'm gonna try it again tomorrow for breakfast.

[christeneledoux]

You can also add avacado to a smoothie to get that smooth texture. Yum!

[routee2]

u.s, canada and uk is the rest of the world?!

[cellulitelove]

yup, nuts and bananas give smoothies that creamy texture. I'm actually having a spinach+banana+almond+cacao smoothie right now. So delicious!

[ninazephyr]

I love your energy haha that's how I've been lately! I've only been raw for about 2 months and haven't done anything fancy yet, this smoothie makes me want to, though! I wonder if hemp is cheaper for me (in the us) if I buy it from a pet store, too. Hmm. Anyways, great video!

[mishmo]

Hey, Just wondering where you get your hemp protein powder from? I'm an aussie too (but from Victoria). Do you know any good websites?

Thanks!

[ENJOYOURMATRIXX]

nice to see you woke up to the big pharma scam industry and eat raw food! but saying that we have to not think about conspiracy theory is not the way to go.. you look happy by the fact that you are not slave of the junk they sale you at the grocery store just wait until you wake up about the fact that there is a tiny elite who run the world and selling crappy food was just one of their tools to drag you down so you cant fight them.Learn about the other facettes google the website : infowars

[Achillesreborn]

As a bodybuilder I really appreciate this vid! Thank you so much, going 100% raw soon!!!

[isaacleedrums]

Hey did you go raw Achillesreborn? Let us know how it worked out even if it didn't!

[Achillesreborn]

I actually haven't gone 100% due to a lot of negative events happening over the course of the past few months but I'm definitely around 70% and I LOVE IT!

Things are really beginning to look up now and I will be going 100% raw by September; need to stock up on a few raw essentials first since I definitely need a detox from overdosing whey protein over the years..yuck! I hated hemp at first but adding cacao and maca and some fruit has me craving it now :)

[kedordu]

@Achillesreborn

cant really build on plant protein dewd

[DenverDiva]

You are too cute! My husband is a personal trainer too and I'm going 100% raw vegan. He's like 60% along with me but is concerned about losing his muscle mass...Hemp protein, huh? Good to know! Maybe I can get some other tips from your other videos and convince him. Thank you!

[xATOMICxDROPx]

Wow... you're the hottest raw food girl so far... haha! Love the recipes!

[thrivesurvive]

I adore your enthusiasm. It's so contagious. I think I will buy the cacao beans next time (as soon as I run out of the powder). I bought some hemp seed oil, and it's great. I haven't tried the powder yet. Raw Food World has a great sale on the hemp seed oil right now (they also sale chia seeds bulk). Below cost (otherwise I probably wouldn't have nought it). I think it's Fred "Bisci". Chia seeds aren't bitter at all. They are lovely. I put them in everything now. Your dressing sound yummy!

[nellievance]

You are adorable! I'm so glad to see a raw food person that's giving info without the expectation of compensation. I have been a believer of the raw food movement, but not a consistent practicer. I guess you could call me a wannabe. But your videos inspire me to dig deep and commit to this...again. Thank you sooo much for the videos! Go raw!

[Insanityperfectd]

Do you meet up with any other raw vegans? I would love to meet more like minded locals

[RawDownUnder]

Cool, I'll email you my details, lets catch up sometime :) There is raw food picnics once a month here in Perth and there is also a Biodynamic Festival on 23rd Nov in Pickering Brook.

[Momtooazoo]

I need to look into it more before my next order. Next on my list is MACA!!!! And your bread. I'm going to go look it up right now since I'm on here :0)

[Momtooazoo]

You are so awesome! LOL

Thank you for your response on the bee pollen. I'm going to start adding more of it to my diet. I'm going to look for hemp seed. I'm STILL looking for the friggin' cacao. I don't know if you saw my video...I can't find it and everytime I ASK for it I have to explain what it is because ...you'll love this...they think I'm asking for RAW COW. Sheesh. I might have to cave and start buying this stuff online.

[RawDownUnder]

It may actually be cheaper online hon. Less overheads etc... Worth checkin :) x

[Momtooazoo]

Very true. I just called the one lady I talked to a few weeks ago and she said her "guy" can't get it so I hopped online. The only thing that stinks is shipping price, but what can you do!! I want my stuff! :0) I ended up buying the Cacao beans from Sunfood, my hemp seeds from planet health. I think. Or something simular anyways. After I did that I found another site that I could have gotten the cacao,maca and hemp seeds for probably around what I just spent and had free shipping. I guess

[LovelyRawBeauty]

i just love your energy!! GO Raw! Thanks to you I just added Hemp Seeds to my grocery list!

[RawDownUnder]

Apparently you can just buy the seeds for your 'birds' in bulk at pet stores. Much cheaper :)

[Insanityperfectd]

Ah we should so get your heads together and open up a raw food cafe in Perth. Australia is so far behind the US in the whole raw food biz we need to start spreading the word around..

[RawDownUnder]

Bring it!! I'm an information junkie. Let's educate and inspire :)

[Insanityperfectd]

Ah babe you are just so damn vibrant! I got to Alive Organics and bought your Sunbread!! I am yet to try some, but I will let you know what I think when I have ;)

[RawDownUnder]

AaarrrrhhHHH!!!! That's super cool. Can't wait :))

[GlobellePrize]

Yeah, I thought that was so funny when I went to a site about a raw food retreat where he also sells the hemp. I got a good giggle at how it was for "pets only". I'll have to get an imaginary cat now. Haha!

By the way, I mentioned you in my first video giving a shout out to all the awesome people I'm subscribed to. Cheers. :)

[babebones11]

i was the first one to view this vid yay me!
