DELICIOUS RAW FRUITY KALE SMOOTHIE

[bauer024]

i am so going to try this dara thanks for sharing

[RawDagobah]

I also love the Oxo bowls and measuring cups! Aren't they the best?! I'm a new subscriber and love your vids! I've been watching them all morning! <3

[daradubinet]

@Avrilxxxmac i will be careful! thanks for the heads up!

[daradubinet]

@holystica

you are welcome Filipa. good suggestion. :)

[daradubinet]

the only thing that is hard for me to give up is kale. i love it. so in moderation. if i were to be taking myself off of synthroid i wouldn't eat it. it is really rough i know. i got off of synthroid with the help of a doctor. i get regular blood tests every 6-8 months. i recommend the same. for me avoiding stress is more important than avoiding kale.

[haaya123]

Hi Dara, I know you suffered from hypothyroidism once, so I was wondering what you think about these foods that decrease thyroid production: KALE SPINACH, CABBAGE, BROCCOLI, MUSTARD GREENS. i know you are cautious about giving medical advice (i'm a nurse), but I would really like to be "cured" from hypothroid symptoms. if i dont take synthroid, the symptoms are felt almost immediately. do you think the benefits of these foods outweigh the warning?

[MrTrikonasana]

This recipe is awesome. I made a variation of it today. It was great. Thanks!

[daradubinet]

@MrTrikonasana

wonderful!

[Netty083]

that looks delish - I hope the local organic market gets some dark green kale soon!!

[daradubinet]

@Netty083

[MultiNaturals]

[MultiNaturals]

[daradubinet]

@MultiNaturals

[91Gamalex]

Thank you Dara!!! at last someone posted some raw recipes that wont make you loose like a tone of weight. Not everyone gets on the raw roods just to get skinny! I just wanna get healthy! Thank you again Dara!! You're amazing!!! <3

[daradubinet]

@91Gamalex

avocados are good! thank you! :)<3

[beltonism]

Freezing the banana. What a simple trick! Love it! :)

[daradubinet]

@beltonism

freeze lots of them! :)

[MickScarborough]

@daradubinet I forgot to peel mine before freezing. Now they will be a chore to use.

[PurnaBhat]

@MickScarborough I used to do it this way - just take them out about 20 to 30 minutes before you want to use them. The skins will come off more easily.

[MissRawSweden]

Looks delicious. Thank you for the recipe, It's so good to have you back! I missed you.Hope you had a wonderful time with your family.

Can you give some tips on how you can do to gain some weight with raw food. Have a great day.

hugs

[daradubinet]

@MissRawSweden

i don't need to gain weight, but i have met those who do...

i have noticed that adding healthy fats helps and eating enough!

do you eat fats?

[Helenelalala]

@MissRawSweden eating avocados and nuts but mostly weight lifting and general exercise to make muscles.

[MissRawSweden]

@MissRawSweden I eat like a horse:-D. I think I eat quite a lot of fat each day 1-2 avocados 2 tablespoons coconut nut oil, approximately 100-200 grams of nuts and seeds a day. Should I eat more? I'm not underweight, but I'd like to go up a few pounds. Have a great day. hugs

[radicalaccounting]

I love seeing this recipe! My main attraction to this diet is losing weight, and for a long time coconut oil alone has been helping me, so I'm pretty sure it doesn't work the same as other oils. I learned about it from "Underground Wellness".

Btw, have you been watching Jamie Oliver? Do you live in LA? Can you please complain about the school system not letting him review school lunches? Thank you!

[daradubinet]

@radicalaccounting

i have not been watching. lets put that thought out there. i do love what he is up to.

:) i do live in LA.

[RosalindandPearls]

[12blin]

This is extremely delicious, I just know it!!! Um!

[cosmicnights]

I should get off my bum and make one.

[thewaterfalloflove]

Protein adulteration in the People's Republic of China refers to the adulteration and contamination of several food and feed ingredients with inexpensive melamine and other compounds such as cyanuric acid, ammeline and ammelide. These adulterants can be used to inflate the apparent protein content of products, so that inexpensive ingredients can pass for more expensive, concentrated proteins. - it's been found in vegetable proteins here in the USA

[thewaterfalloflove]

@MonkeyArtful, "May 2, 2007 FDA Announces Detention of all Vegetable Protein Shipments from China for Animal or Human Food Use The Food and Drug Administration (FDA)"

[thewaterfalloflove]

Before you take any protein or similar supplement, call the manufacturer like SunWarrior and ask them where they get the protein. If they won't share that with you, I would not put it in my body. As I said, most of it comes from China. It goes through two or three American companies before it gets a USA label on it, but find out where it was manufactured, not where it was distributed from.

[thewaterfalloflove]

One more point about "protein powders" and other supplements.  I can't speak for SunWarrior but most of these supplement companies don't make anything themselves. They buy their ingredients from wholesale distributors and these companies often buy in bulk from China and I promise you that you don't want to be taking anything from China. They adulterate the proteins with a highly toxic chemical called "melamine" which destroys kidneys. Google "melamine protein" and learn about it.

[Helenelalala]

@thewaterfalloflove thank you so much! I personally take quite some hemp seeds and chia seeds or so when I need protein and some spirulina and amazingly it feeds me for many hours of hard work. But I'm grateful to get your info. Thanks :)

[thesouladventure]

Awesome, thanks!

[thewaterfalloflove]

Anyone that "bodybuilds" and is taking any kind of protein powder on a daily basis needs to get a CBC (complete blood count) blood test done. I finally did and found my protein and my creatinine was high which indicated a strain on the kidneys. I cut out the protein and tested again weeks later and was fine.

I'm anti-supplements for the most part, but I did them for years. Just be smart. Stay natural and don't fall into even the raw food supplement hype.

[brownvagabond]

I'm going to try this smoothie this weekend. Thanks Dara!

[shiroirobin]

[thelifeofawriter]

I love spirulina, I add it to all of my smoothies.

[daradubinet]

@thelifeofawriter

[denelleyparker]

Thanks for the salt tip, didn't know that it would bring out the sweetness in the fruit.

[daradubinet]

@denelleyparker

:)

[MrKyleandlindsay]

[daradubinet]

@MrKyleandlindsay

[Holliberryful]

beautiful smoothie Dara <3 This is something that I think my husband would actually really enjoy. Thanks again!

[daradubinet]

@Holliberryful

let me know how he likes it! :)

[psylent777]

Instead of adding the spirulina, can we substitute that for something like E3Live? I just ran out of spirulina around my house but this looks awesome :)

[daradubinet]

@psylent777

funny. just got brain on e3! yes! add that! :)

[cocoa8872]

Were you drinking this or other kale smoothies when you were dealing with Hashimoto's?

[daradubinet]

@cocoa8872

yes. i did. :)
