Bali Chocolate Energy Shake
Bali Chocolate Energy Shake
For today, we are servin’ up energizing liquid nutrition at its’ best! This one is a creamy chocolate + vanilla pleaser – great for someone who wants to make a healthier version of the standard milkshake and ideal as a replacement for the daily cup of coffee!
Bali Chocolate Energy Shake
Makes 6-7 cups, enough to serve several friends!
1 cup hemp seeds
3.5 cups spring water
1/4+ cup organic coconut sugar crystals (or to taste)
2 T raw cacao powder
1 T softened coconut oil
1 – 1.5 T raw maca powder
1 teaspoon wildcrafted vanilla bean powder
handful of Balinese sweetened cacao nibs (raw)
several pinches sea salt
pinches of organic stevia powder
Blend all ingredients on high until creamy and smooth. Add several ice cubes (made with spring water) and re-blend. Serve chilled and sprinkle with vanilla bean powder and/or Balinese sweetened cacao nibs if you like. It tastes amazing real cold on a warm spring day! With hemp seed mylk, you do not need to strain the seeds out because they blend up so well, which is why everything can be blended up together for a quick super charged shake on the go!
BALINESE SWEETENED CACAO NIBS? Yes, you got that right! If you’ve tried regular ole’ raw cacao nibs and felt they tasted too bitter to chomp on straight or in trail mix or they weren’t as flavorful as you’d hoped for – the Balinese Sweetened Cacao Nibs will deliver just what you’re looking for! WAAAAY better than regular cacao nibs in my opinion (but I like them sweet n’ bitter). And… if you want the sweetness without using coconut sugar for whatever reason, you can make your own homemade sweetened ones with birch xylitol. Mmmm 
BALI SWEETENED NIB INGREDIENTS
- crushed organic cacao beans
- organic coconut palm nectar
- sea salt
* For this shake, I sourced all ingredients (except the vanilla bean powder, salt & stevia) from Earth Circle Organics. This is one of the few companies I trust that sells truly raw products when they market them as raw. It’s important if you are searching out the best products and ingredients ever and expect them to be unprocessed!
How to Make Coconut Water Kefir
Coconut water kefir is very easy to make in just 2 days. You will need:
Young Thai Coconuts
• at least 3 fresh coconuts (the young Thai coconuts at a natural food store or Asian market will do, or better yet, if you live in the tropics, get wild coconuts from your locals farmers market). You can also use pasteurized coconut water drinks that are now popularly found in juice boxes, which are NOT raw, but will be made living upon fermentation.
• a cheap, dull, long serrated knife with a sturdy handle (no sharp serrated teeth, as they may break)
• a half-gallon or 1 gallon clean glass jar
• kefir grains: fresh wet kefir grains (looks like bits of soggy white rice) can be ordered organic and vegan from eBay.com very cheaply. When your grains arrive, store them in a glass jar in the fridge or use them all to make a batch of kefir immediately.
HOW TO OPEN THE COCONUTS
Place your 3 fresh young Thai coconuts on a sturdy counter. One at a time, take a coconut, hold it down firmly with your hand on its side (so that the pointy end faces your knife hand) and with your serrated knife, saw off the husk at the pointy end until you have a couple square inches of the inner light brown husk showing bare.
Be extra careful, watch your fingers, and avoid slipping from your grip on the coconut. Saw off the top half inch creating a lid that reveals a 1 to 2 inch hold with the white coconut inner meat exposed. Halfway into cutting the lid, rotate the coconut so that the lid faces upward, preventing the inner coconut water from leaking out.
MAKING THE KEFIR
Ginger-Orange Soda Pop
Pour out the coconut water into a sterilized half-gallon or larger glass jar and drop the kefir grains in. Do not tighten a lid over the jar. Keep the air flowing. Wrap a towel over and around the jar and keep in a warm place for 36 to 48 hours. Come back and taste!
The coconut water should have turned a cloudy white, having become a probiotic-rich kefir. It should taste somewhat intense, with a little bit of sweetness left and a little bit of vinegar flavor present. If you leave the jar out for a few more days you will create vinegar that is suitable for salad dressings, but too sour for the Superfood Beauty Elixirs.
Strain the coconut water kefir into a separate glass jar and store it in the fridge or use it immediately with your chosen kefir elixir recipes. Rinse the kefir grains and store them in a small glass jar in the fridge, or use them immediately in another batch of fresh coconut water kefir.
COCONUT KEFIR IN ELIXIRS
I’ve included my personal 5 favorite coconut kefir elixir recipes in my book, Superfood Beauty Elixirs: Ginger-Orange Soda Pop, Master Cleanse Kefir, Orange Marine Phytoplankton Kefir Slushy Soda, Spicy Ginger Ale, and Vanilla Creme Cider. Mmmm… sooo refreshing – these will guarantee a BIG smile!
Here’s a complimentary recipe for the popular Master Cleanse Kefir, Elixir Style!
The Importance of Your Water Source: Living Spring Water
I HIGHLY advise you to do whatever it takes to acquire and use fresh, cold spring water bottled yourself in glass jugs as the water you drink and use in your elixirs, tonics, smoothies, and other healthy creations. This brief article will explain why…
Fresh, living spring water
An excellent source for information on spring water is www.FindASpring.com – this website has a map with hundreds of springs around the world detailing directions of how to get to them. It’s an amazing resource with pictures and videos of the springs, specifics of the waters like pH (is it slightly acid or slightly alkaline?) and TDS (total dissolved solids, or how “minerally” is it?) – and notes on their accessibility and flow rates.
I expect that there is a cold spring in driving distance for you that you’ll locate on this website. If not, ask the locals (especially the 50+ years of age folks) if they know where a viable spring is. It may be much closer than you think!
3 gallon glass carboy to gather water
If you currently use filtered tap water, please consider that yes – it is better than straight tap water and many bottled waters that have been sitting in plastic for months, exposed to light, electromagnetic fields, and heat.
Yet remember, that a filter is a relatively small machine (even the $2000+ ones) that cannot actually make the water living. To make water living, you need our planet to do its magic: cubic acres of layered crystals, continuously charged with free electrons from the Earth for eons. In other words, you want to source your water from a mountain with an aquifer being created inside it that freely pours out through true springs.
Only when we rely on the Earth to give us what we need are we free to understand the beauty of her gifts!
Your body is about 70% water. It takes about 1 week of drinking water to replace nearly all your water content, or rather, to renew your blood plasma. Would you rather have that 70% be filtered tap water from a water source that is likely destroying delicate ecologies with damns where chemicals have been put into the water, are polluted, and unstructured?
OR… do you want to be made up of 70% wild noble water, the only time-proven natural water for humans?! When you “go wild”, you never go back. In fact, spring water hunting (hiking for local spring heads) and spring hopping or jumping (filling up at various springs around the world while you travel) is one of the most fun and gratifying activities to connect with the Earth and heal your body.
Quench your thirst with fresh, cold spring water
and soak your body in the waters of life!
If you believe in and understand the importance of living spring water, you’ll absolutely love my eBook, Superfood Beauty Elixirs! The entire recipe and guidebook is based on using spring water for low-glycemic drinks that will skyrocket your health!
Skincare Product Review – “Best Skin Ever” by Living Libations
Best Skin Ever - Lavish Abundance
The name “Best Skin Ever” really nails it – it IS the ultimate product for beauty and giving a girl (and cool men, too) what she really wants – beautiful skin! It’s the product you’d choose if you want 1 bottle that is filled to the brim with a magic beauty potion resulting in instantly gorgeous skin that sparkles. It’s for all the Goddesses out there and delivers a sexy, smooth glimmer to every face I’ve seen it on.
This product delivers like NOTHING ELSE I have ever used, and this says a lot especially considering my background. To briefly explain, I used to formulate and sell my own skincare line: a raw, Superfood-loaded, herbal-infused handcrafted edible skincare line (previously known as “Organic Healing”) and exhibited at many events (incl Raw Spirit, Green Festival, etc) from 2007-2009 (now I just sell to private clients and via request). Ever since, there’s been an array of product lines securing their spot in the pure beauty industry.
Living Libations has been around for a long time and Nadine Artemis, is a genius formulator. In person (and on video), she glows. She embraces youth. She beams with radiance. You can just tell by her essence that she is living a pure life, infusing love and magic into her skincare potions, and offering the very best she can. She must get downloads from angels ♥ And – she makes her own stuff – which is not common in the skincare industry (most people private label)…
Best Skin Ever - Vanilla
Best Skin Ever is top dog. It’s #1 in my book of everything I’ve ever tried. It’s so effective at leaving your skin flawless – and I mean FLAWLESS – that I was jaw-dropped stunned when I first began using it. And – I am extremely particular, nit-picky, and critical when it comes to products.
If you have rosacea, dry skin, poor signs of aging (wrinkles, lines……) or just look somewhat drab and need a natural face lift – just a FEW DROPS of Best Skin Ever will begin to turn it all around. This is certainly one of those products where a *little* goes a long way. I personally use 2 light pumps and that’s plenty to apply to my face and neck when using it as a moisturizer.
You can use Best Skin Ever as a face wash, a moisture replenisher, or even as an exfoliant.
Best Skin Ever - Chocolate
Best Skin Ever gives you INSTANT SHINE and IMMEDIATE GLOW – and that is no exaggeration! I am willing to stand by that promise whether you choose from any of the flavors she gifts us with: Lavish Abundance, Chocolate, Seabuckthorn, and Vanilla.
I have to be honest; after seeing the simple line-up of ingredients for Best Skin Ever I thought I may be able to duplicate it, but to my dismay – I haven’t be able to. I LOVE that! I’m convinced that Nadine sprinkles her extraordinarily unique magical fairy dust and super special potions of brilliance into her product line. Whatever it is, it’s untouchable and un-able to be created by anyone other than her. Yet, of all her yummy products, Best Skin Ever stands out above the rest.
Honestly, the most difficult thing about ordering Best Skin Ever is choosing which one you want to start with – at least for me that’s been the case. Once I tried it, I was hooked right from the start. Best Skin Ever is my first choice – the one I cannot find ANY reason to go without, the one that I trust will take away any stress I’m wearing on my face. And, it comes in the cutest, loveliest bottle, ever.
♥ ♥ If you’d like to order any of the Living Libations magnificant skin and body care, including Best Skin Ever, you can order through Living Earth Beauty or direct at Living Libations. ♥ ♥
You will not be disappointed. And, do your best to not run out. I’ve run out before and my skin readily shows it. No matter what I create on my own, I can imagine using Best Skin Ever, always – it’s just too good to stop (and that speaks volumes).
