Shoshanna's Kitchen - Episode 1 - Daily Boost Herba-Smoothie

[missstarwars]

Hi, I was wondering if the Daily Boost herba-smoothie mix is safe to take while pregnant? I recently read in your Making Babies book that Horsetail is not recommended for pregnancy but there is Horsetail in the mix. Should I stop taking the mixture if I become pregnant or is it safe when taken moderately?

Are these herbs safe for breastfeeding mothers? Additionally, I was wondering approximately how many calories does this smoothie have?

[RoshekieF]

You're awesome, and I love BHS - been a regular there for years! Question: regarding vitamin absorbsion, would it behoove the smoothie (and us!) to add some animal fat in there - egg yolk, raw milk kefir, etc?

@RoshekieF We've actually never tested them in that way. If you find some good results, let us know :)

[thesummerjasmine]

can we just mix the powder with water and take it instead of blending other things?

[BulkHerbStore]

@thesummerjasmine You sure can! It won't taste very good though

I'm just wondering if there is something I can use to replace the raw coconut if I can't find that. I don't think my local grocery carries fresh coconut. Any suggestions?

[BulkHerbStore]

@nikkiolm You can't replace an ingredient with another; they're all different!

[TheSarahvaughn]

Where do you buy orange concentrate?

[BulkHerbStore]

@TheSarahvaughn You can get it at almost any grocery store with a frozen food section.

[BulkHerbStore]

@TheSarahvaughn At most grocery stores, in the freezer.

I want to start doing this, what you are doing! What kind of advice to do you have for me, to start with all of this smoothie, herbal making?

[BulkHerbStore]

@Virtuouswoman011 I would recommend a book called 'Practical Herbalism', or you could try 'The Green Pharmacy', both of which we sell at Bulk Herb Store.

[Virtuouswoman011]

@BulkHerbStore Do you have to go to school for any of this herbal making? haha

[BulkHerbStore]

@Virtuouswoman011 You can go to school, yes. You can get a degree called a 'Master Herbalist's degree.

GREAT!!! I'm so glad you've started doing videos!! What a good idea. :) I've never thought about using the OJ concentrate before. Where do you get the young coconuts? Thanks!! :)

[BulkHerbStore]

@ditsychick15 You can get them from an Asian food market.
