Figgy Chocolate Shake

by Share on November 8, 2010

Bam made a joke on his FB page about McDonald’s today and somehow it led to his creating the raw vegan healthful version of a McDonald’s chocolate shake. The difference of course, is in the ingredients.

The Raw Pirate Gourmet Shake VS The McDeath Pseudo Chocolate Shake

MCDEATH PSEUDO CHOCOLATE SHAKE

  • Concentrated skim milk
  • Cream
  • Sugar
  • Skim Milk Solids
  • Glucose Syrup
  • Guar Gum
  • Sodium Polyphosphate
  • Carrageenan
  • Carboxymethylcellulose
  • Vanilla Flavour
  • Water
  • Cocoa Powder
  • Malt Extract
  • Caramel and Amaranth
  • Phosphoric Acid
  • Citric Acid
  • Sodium Benzoate

OUR FIGGY CHOCOLATE SHAKE

  • 1/2 cup of soaked cashews
  • 10 soaked figs
  • 2 Spoonfuls of Raw Cacao Powder
  • 1 Spoonful of Raw Lucuma Powder
  • 2 cups of spring water
  • 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla (or 2 beans)
  • 6 spring water ice cubes

Ours has no sweeteners except for figs and lucuma powder. Not even Agave Nectar! Ours also has no chemicals or preservatives or other scary things that I can’t even pronounce! So how do you make ours? Put it all in a blender and spin it on high.

The lucuma makes it super creamy as that stuff gives a vegan dairy like flavour and feel to beverages. You can get it online at Amazon and it will last you for ages.
But hey, the choice is yours.

Hemp has been grown for at least the last 12,000 years for fiber (textiles and paper) and food. It has been effectively prohibited in the United States since the 1950s.

George Washington and Thomas Jefferson both grew hemp. Ben Franklin owned a mill that made hemp paper.

Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence on hemp paper…our government needs to wake up ..!!!
