Raw Vegan Coconut Banana Cream Pie

[hanimii]

sounds expensive!!

[Mariposakisses]

yummy

[bat115]

I have tried this recipe twice but it didn't turn out well at all! But I'm sure it's somethying I'm doing wrong.

[Inspire2Act]

@bat115 Oh no! Did you use coconut oil or olive oil? I accidentally said olive oil in the video, but meant to say coconut oil! Were your coconuts fresh?

[onsaphi]

Such a hottie. Oh, the cream pie looks good too.

[DigitalLoveMovement]

Hi Lori, what are you using in place of agave?

[Inspire2Act]

@DigitalLoveMovement Honey or dates!

[Inspire2Act]

@converse1323 the bananas will turn brown and the consistency will be off, but hey... give it a shot and let me know how it goes!

[CHOCOMUM33]

Thanks for the video. I made this today. and it was a big hit with my kids and hubby. Ive fallen in love..lol..This can only be a once in awhile treat...but man it was GOOD!!

[Jeffreyrno]

i only eat what i kill. just like the old days.

[CreamPieProducti0n]

Do u know what is real CreamPie?

[Spanagian]

MILF

[PlatypusGuitar]

shes violating that mixer with that stick!!!

[Rhinoceroswellness]

u said olive oil but then later u said coconut oil...,.,it looked like coconut oil, olive oil in that would be gross

[kahea2018]

@Rhinoceroswellness I was thinking that too, especially virgin haha good question...

[faylinameir]

@kahea2018 I think she maybe ment virgin coconut oil. I can tell by the color and the chunkyness that was coconut oil lol (oh and she put in the desc box she ment coco oil lol)

[TheDimpledCutie]

Woohoo. Finally a recipe for my fave dessert. Thanks much. Namaste

[myopinion92]

i love cream-pie is this your favorite

[diddymuck]

who cares about agave...you' a first class hottie!!

[TheRockstarsRock]

hey, i LOVE banana coconut cream pie 2!

[sublime87]

What i'm saying is.. i still don't see the problem with agave. it's low on the glycemic index.

[JoshMufc101]

i wonder what percentage of your subsribers are men lol

[mlott26mjl]

You have a lot to learn about vegan health still.

[Inspire2Act]

Of course, this was one of my first recipes that I shared with non raw peeps to get them going. It is not a regular part of my diet!

[freeheretic111]

@Inspire2Act Lori, thanks for posting this fine video. I look forward to watching more of your vids. You have a postive attitude to the religious vegan critics. It's funny, I once lived in a place with lots of vegans (I was one too) and many had this really strange need and way to lecture and criticize other people. Are they the new Bible Thumpers?

[snipsnapparty]

That was kinda harsh.. I mean.. she's obviously trying. See.. I hate people who act like they are holier than thou. We all gotta start somewhere.

[LittleRusalochka]

She looks super healthy.

you can be really healthy and still enjoy sweets once and a wile.

[xchefxboix]

@mlott26mjl are you sure you're not a spokesperson for another product. lol...

glad to know that my assumptions about agave were true and realize they are not as safe as they might seem...

i'm an aspiring pastry and vegans and vegetarians are demanding my creations more than the general public...

this information helps me out a great deal...

thanks.

[GreenMomZoe]

Lori, I hope you stopped using the agave nectar. It's no better than High Fructose Corn Syrup. It's made using the same process and it contains even more fructose than HFCS! A healthier alternative is stevia or maple syrup. Also, mesquite powder works when you need to add granulated sugar to a recipe.

[miladesapio]

I'm so sorry I accidentally clicked on the down thumb and can't change it back. I meant to give you a thumbs up. Is raw agave nectar not good either?

[GreenMomZoe]

No problem. :-) There is no such thing as "raw" agave because in order to make the agave syrup, the agave sap has to be heated to very high temperatures to extract the syrup. It's the same way as making high fructose corn syrup from corn. In fact, the amount of fructose in agave syrup is higher than HFCS! Don't believe the marketing hype with the low glycemic index. I recommend using dates, stevia or raw honey (unheated!) to sweeten stuff up.

[Inspire2Act]

TOTALLY! I learned about agave AFTER making this video! I no longer use it at all. I prefer stevia, honey, dates, etc!

[sublime87]

I just posted a comment above.. I didn't research it yet, but I'd think the main concern with any sweetener is the low glycemic index.. that way it doesn't shock your system with too much sugar at one time?

[Inspire2Act]

Yes, I stopped about a year ago...shortly after making this video!

[sublime87]

I had no clue? I use Agave Nectar. I didn't even bother looking into it further.. I simply felt that a plant-based sweetener was a natural/healthy form of sweet heaven. I'll look into this now! : )

[GreenMomZoe]

Agave is plant-based and if you don't care to be on a high raw diet or not concerned with spikes in your blood sugar, agave syrup is fine to use. However, it's not the healthiest sweetener or the lowest glycemic one. I use KAI stevia and it's fantastic! Zero calories, no aftertaste and blend well into anything.

[AtheneGrey]

@GreenMomZoe Really? I had not heard that. Where would I find out more about this information?

[diddymuck]

there are two outstanding reasons for watching this!

[MaDaMan1987]

i could listen to you talk about cooking all day looooong.....

[LierreKeithPwned]

This is an absolutely disgusting video. I don't know what kind of symbolism you are trying to pull here but this is OUT OF LINE.

.

.

.

.

just joking.

[loymonteiro]

i know this is off topic, but what is that gorgeous paint color on the wall in your dining area? =]

[Inspire2Act]

Thanks. The color is called Soft Camel. I bought it at Lowes.

[jgfergus]

Wow...1 cup of coconut oil + 2 cups of coconut flesh...that is one high fat desert. Ok for an occasional indulgence I guess.

[Inspire2Act]

Yes, very transitional food. Very sparingly. :)

[kombatjesus]

Coconut Oil is great for ya, know of any raw foodies whove gone fat from binging on coconut?

[lexiconlover]

is virgin coconut oil the same as raw coconut oil

[socialiteSweetie]

why is her virgin olive oil clear and not yellow?. . . . . is there a different olive oil type in the u.s, i'm in Australia

[Inspire2Act]

I noted in my text box that I meant to say Coconut Oil....oops. I got nervous on the camera I guess and said the wrong oil.

[rachval]

I've just made some and left a lot in my vitamix to taste it right away. That was REALLY good! I bought my vitamix quite a while ago and I'm so happy to find recipes to use it more often (I'm not a raw foodist but decided to stick to this diet for fews weeks to detox) Thank you!!

[meg1241989]

i made this last night...HELLA good!

[gogreenclean]

She has to learn to edit out the time consuming part of blending. It became to burdensome to watch.

Sorry.

[Inspire2Act]

LOL.. that is hilarous! We have become such an "instant" society, that a couple minutes is "burdensome". I got a good giggle out of that. I know what you mean though.

On the other hand, this was one of my first videos and I was totally clueless on making videos. I have been learning to do some edting. This should really help my videos. I'll make you proud...:)

[gogreenclean]

Thanks for seeing the humour in my comment. I was interested in the recipe, but our society is not so instant that we enjoy watching someone poking the blender and finding fascination in that.

We would lose interest in cooking shows for the same reason if we had to wait for the real time oven baking too. ;)

I thought it was going to be very yucky when you said olive oil and then re-read your intro on side bar.

Sounds intriguing but we don't get fresh coconut products up here.

[lexiconlover]

no, no, gogreenclean, watching her operate the machine was quite sexy and necessary for the single male viewers.

[gogreenclean]

oic

[jaberwalky62]

dont get any of your hair mixed in that stuff

[JackNeedles]

Looks good.

[Inspire2Act]

oops, yes, I messed up. 1 C for 1 pie, 2 C for doubling the recipe.

[urbankettlebell]

wow cant wait to try this, btw you are super beautiful!

[DianneRawGirl]

I have watched this video before,and I seem to want to make it(since I came back to watch it again) .I love coconut anything.I love watching others make raw recipes! I know you from RawFu!

[Inspire2Act]

Yep, that is me :) Glad you are checking out the recipe!

[candyuniverse3000]

Where can you get the young Tai coconuts??

[Inspire2Act]

Thai coconuts are found in the produce section of supermakets and always at asian markets.

[kio02]

Lory

did you meant virgin coconut`oil and not olive oil?

I want to make this as my birthday cake lol

[Inspire2Act]

yes coconut oil...oops

[VeganCookingChannel]

favorite it

[bc5620]

cream pie? what?

[wannaberaw]

I made this yesterday for my birthday cake. I was heavenly!! I added too much water, but I put it in the freezer for a couple hours right after I made it so when we ate it, it had the consistency of ice cream! Everyone loved it, we all had seconds. I can easily see how half of yours could disappear before it even made it to the potluck! Thanks for posting the recipe!

[wannaberaw]

Oops, I mean *it* was heavenly.... not me. :-)

[Inspire2Act]

I am so glad you made it and liked it!

[marcluc1988]

I might try that.

[carlosm635]

I tried out your recipe, made a few changes and it was good.  And then Love your expressions & blouse.

[Inspire2Act]

Thank you! I am glad you tried it!

[mrbeefy1515]

milf

[Inspire2Act]

LOL... I was thinking "this is taking forever!" I have made it so much faster in the past. Yeah, pretty got facial expression, huh!

[Inspire2Act]

2 things could have happened. #1 too much liquid was added. Sometimes I don't add any water if I can get away with it. #2 Not enough coconut oil. #3 The coconuts you used may not have been fresh. If they have a purple tint to them...then pass. Those ones never give me fluffy firm cream. Those are the 3 factors for setting up. If it doesn't turn out, you can toss a portion of the pie into the blender and make a shake. Let me know what you end up doing.

[rawkinrawmama]

We just made your corn salad and had it for lunch. We have home grown corn, tomatoes, jalapenos, cucumbers, cilantro....this was fantastic. I think I will try zucchini next time in place of cucumbers. Thanks for the recipe!!

[rawkinrawmama]

Your banana split tastes sooooooooooooo good!

[sasuke7aa]

OMG, you made it?!?! Wonderful! :) I am so happy you liked it!

[isdfgbsdf]

Rachael ray look out!!--T

[Inspire2Act]

LOL. :) Now if I only looked like Giada De Laurentiis. She is one hottie ih the kitchen!

[uzatwo]

This looks wonderful! My 10yo son is salivating and telling me I'd better make this or he's going on strike . . . lol

[Inspire2Act]

LOL.... it can be pretty addicting, but it makes going raw soooooo much easier.

[897523589734]

Yeah, i agree with 'thrivesurvive', in that i would love to live at your house. But you would definetely have to make all my meals because i wouldn't know how to make them especially with the looks of your fridge and freezer

~Micah~

[Inspire2Act]

That's why I am posting the recipes...I am hooking you up!! But yeah, I remember when all this stuff was foreign to me too.

[thrivesurvive]

That was the best raw whipped cream I have ever tasted. So fluffy! It reminded me of a banana split.

I am eating your spaghetti right now. It's still amazing! I want to live at your house. You always have such yummy goodies.

[Inspire2Act]

YAY! Today we are having the kale chips we made yesterday. I swear they remind me of barbeque chips. :) Trust me, my kids don't always appreciate it. I have made some NASTY stuff in the past and I am sure I will have more bummer recipes in the future, but I won't post those...I promise. :)

[bellajigga]

Yummmy!!! Looks amazing!  Thanks for sharing...keep them coming please.

[Inspire2Act]

I would have never been driven to make this had I not gone raw. I like it better than the original cream pies I used to eat.
