Raw Cacao High Protein Smoothies

[ChefTeton]

Coconut Cream or Butter is made from mixing sun dried coconut meat. Depending on the manufacturer of this product, it should be considered Raw. Artisana uses a low temp process to keep their coconut meal raw so enzymes and EFA's are kept in tact. This is a fabulous food for making sauces and raw desserts. It is also a tasty treat when eaten by the spoon ful!!

Whey protein is now Raw. it is made from an animal product. If you want Raw and Vegan you can make the smoothie with HEMP protein, or check out Living Foods Protein. Yes, all raw food is good for weight loss provided you don't overeat other kinds of cooked, unhealthy foods with your Raw food.

I was skeptical at first, I haven't had too much luck with raw cacao powder, but I used hemp protein powder on this shake and it was DELISH! and rich in omega 3 & protein. Re: mood-boostin properties, Cacao (in its raw form) has ANANDAMIDE, which is the chemical of bliss. It also has THEOBROMINE, which is another chemical that acts as a mood booster. If people consume raw cacao instead of traditional anti-depressants, doctors wouldn't find depressed clients so lucrative.

I agree. If I eat too much it makes me sick to my stomach. I do not get how people can eat so much. I have to use small amounts now and only eat it occasionally. My favorite way is to make raw cacao truffles and have one in the afternoon or when I am wanting something rich and somewhat sweet. Again, this is occasionally. Thanks for the post.

Thanks for the great video. I was looking for a natural protein drink, and here it is!!

[ChefTeton]

Make your own nut milks from Brazil Nuts, Almonds or Hemp Granules. Yum

One more thing... if you were a vegan, what would you use instead of the whey protein powder in this video?

[MayanMonkey]

HEMP protein, or check out Living Foods Protein. They are superior, but look into it yourself. I've just started to break away from whey myself. :)

[ChefTeton]

Thanks, many people make this comment. I am well aware of other proteins and use them often. thanks for writing.

[ChefTeton]

hemp powder

[ChefTeton]

Some whey protein is. I do a little better with a high quality whey protein, even though I don't drink it or eat it often.

This is so Ironic!

I was looking at getting some of Jay Rob's protein, suppose to be excellent. And I had just tried CacaoBliss, a blend of just what you just made! Its better than chocolate!

Keep up the great work, this is awesome.

I always agonize what to feed the kids as we rush out the door to school and now Im certain this shake is going to be a staple at out house! Thank you!

[ChefTeton]

Thank You!!! That is so nice of you. Good luck and keep feeding those kids (and you too) excellent foods! It might make the teen years a little easier....teehee.
