- Hi, welcome to the Addictive Wellness Channel, guys.
My name is AnnaBlanca.
- And I'm Sage.
So glad you're joining us today, because today we're making
something that was one of my favorite things to have
for many, many years, and I still have quite often,
and that is chocolate chia pudding,
packed with superfoods and tonic herbs.
This was something that was a staple for me
in my years as a raw vegan,
and it's something that I still have quite often,
but this came about because I was listening to somebody talk
about how to make certain different recipes
and they were talking about Irish moss,
which has similar gelatinous properties to chia,
and they were saying, "Oh, you don't want to put too much
"Irish moss in here when you're making a drink
"because it'll come out really thick, like a pudding."
And I just thought, well wait, hang on a second.
Why wouldn't you want a pudding?
That sounds fantastic!
So I knew that chia could be substituted for Irish moss
and actually tastes a whole lot better
because Irish moss can taste really fishy.
And so I tried putting a lot of chia
in a little bit of water,
and adding a bunch of other superfood powders,
and some good oils, and was totally mindblown
with what came out of the blender,
and I love doing this in all kinds of different flavors
and it's something that when I share it with other people
who may be on somewhat of a limited diet
or a diet that's not having a lot of dense foods in it,
they really love this because it's something
that you can eat and then feel totally satiated
for four or five, maybe even six, hours.
Obviously, we're gonna be starting with the chia here.
So we're gonna do four tablespoons of chia,
and this is gonna go in the blender,
which already has one cup of purified water in there.
So chia obviously great for omega-3,
great for protein, and when I say omega-3,
that's the short-chain plant-based omega-3, which is great.
Not as good as the long-chain, but it's something.
And chia, when you blend it in water,
it has the ability to gel up and soak up
12 times its weight in water.
But you have to stir it up or otherwise it just clumps.
So you could do this, just in a cup, stirring it up,
or the way we're gonna do it to speed things up
is you run the blender on low for about 30 seconds
and it takes care of it for you.
- And then the next ingredient that we are going
to put in there is hemp seed.
It's very close to my heart,
not just because it's also called hemp heart.
- Possibly the cheesiest name ever.
- I know, but it's just so sweet, right?
- You're so sweet.
I don't if that's so sweet, but you're so sweet,
and that's what counts.
- Actually, tastes wise,
you get a kiss.
He has to get a kiss when he says stuff like that.
So it's very high in omega-3,
which is a very amazing anti-inflammatory,
and makes anything that you blend it in very creamy and soft
so it adds to the creaminess that we already
achieved with the chia seeds.
It's also a complete protein, it has every single
amino acids present in these tiny little guys.
High in lecithin which is great for your brain health--
- That's what makes it so creamy.
- Oh, lecithin? - In part, yeah.
- Lecithin, there you go.
It's great for your brain, great for your liver,
and it's great for your taste buds.
Triple whammy all the way through.
- Well the flavor is nothing but it's the
texture that the lecithin gives it which is really nice.
- Yeah, we love lecithin.
And also another thing I love about hemp protein,
it's one of the few the few seeds that contains chlorophyll.
Oh, that's why those green little colors?
- No, no, that's the shell.
It's actually the inside, the seed is contained
the first leaf of the plant essentially
so there's a little bit of chlorophyll in there.
- Right, okay.
In with it, all of it.
Next.
- Okay, so, next we're gonna be putting in lucuma.
This is also known as egg fruit coming from South America.
And it's great for B vitamins, trace minerals.
It's gonna help cream this drink up
and it give it some nice body.
- Fantastic.
Next is cacao.
Guys, of course we are using our own cacao.
- Yeah, if we're a chocolate company
we better have a darn good cacao powder
to go into this chia pudding.
- Also, it tastes and smells so divine
and I really wish there was a way to record this.
Because I would love to share it with you
but the most I can do is show you the color.
- And link to it in the description below.
(laughing)
- So I really love this because it's really, really
high in antioxidants.
Actually cacao is one of the highest foods
when it comes to antioxidants.
And this cacao, particularly that we're gonna use,
is grown in mineral rich volcanic soil,
and very high in magnesium,
very high in chromium,
and one of the things I really love about it,
and it's the only plant source for something
that's called ananandamide.
It's a very sexy name, anandamide.
It's almost like a dancer or something,
but it's not.
It is an endorphin that releases in your body
when you exercise, post exercise.
- It's known as the bliss compound.
- Yeah, I guess it means after any kind of exercise.
(laughing) - Annablanca!
- Well this is the bliss chemical,
and just makes you feel extremely great.
Also there's one more thing in the cacao,
an enzyme inhibitor that stops the anandamide
breaking down in your body too quickly.
So you can actually have the benefits of this anandamide
even longer.
So, in it goes.
- Two teaspoons of our Addictive Wellness cacao powder.
- Alright, we are on to a good start in here.
- So next we have, let's see where is it,
cordyceps going in.
So cordyceps is one of my personal favorite herbs,
a great herb very popular amongst athletes.
(laughing)
What's so funny about that, AnnaBlanca?
- Nothing.
Oh I'm sorry.
- This is what happens when you have too much chocolate.
This is the anandamide, just random fits of laughter.
So the cordyceps, though, is actually
gonna have more of a grounding effect.
Cordyceps improves your oxygen utilization
and it builds the jing which is,
in the Chinese system, the core kidney adrenal
reserve energy, so it's building your deep
core life force.
- I'm sorry I was laughing so much.
And the next thing, oh, it's this one.
I can always recognize He Shou Wu
because usually it's the dark--
- Nope, wrong one.
- Oh, this is shilajit.
- Yeah.
- Oh.
- If there's one thing that's gonna be darker--
- Darker than He Shou Wu it's shilajit.
Nevermind, this is He Shou Wu and I love He Shou Wu.
He Shou Wu, especially recently, I've been having
an amazing experience with He Shou Wu.
- You've been going big.
- I've been going big on He Shou Wu, what can I say?
Go big or go home and that's what I'm applying
to He Shou Wu.
- Or go big at home and then feel great.
(laughing)
- I love it.
That was awesome.
Anyhow, He Shou Wu is extremely a great tonic
for your kidney and your liver.
And also what I really love about this,
it helps you with premature aging.
So you really can't go wrong if you feel
like you wanna stay young and youthful forever.
And what I really love is it's great for fertility.
Gentlemen,
if you take this,
I can guarantee that your boys and your swimmers,
are gonna multiply and they're gonna be
really, really quick and happy.
I mean, if that's what you want.
I'm quite sure most men would like to have
a strong fertility, but it also helps the ladies because--
- In men it's called virility.
- Virility? - Yeah.
- For men it's virility, (twiddling tongue) swimmers.
And for ladies, it's fertility.
It's a very good, it increases your blood,
strengthens your blood, strengthens the blood cells,
which I think it's an amazing thing.
It is also very good for athletes,
same as cordyceps but for different reasons.
It strengthens your muscles,
strengthens your bones,
very good for tendons, ligaments, strengthens your back.
Extends your stamina.
You can't go wrong with He Shou Wu.
- Yeah and really high in superoxide dismutase
which is a very powerful antioxidant
for countering free radicals.
- Oh and it's SOD.
Do not confuse it with SOB because SOB
is an anagram for something that's a very bad guy,
meanwhile SOD it is--
- Is your friend.
- Yes, SOD is your friend.
It's a natural antioxidant--
- Not just a natural antioxidant,
it's a very powerful--
- Very powerful antioxidant,
and a free radical scavenger.
It just goes around your body
and gets out even more of bad guys,
all the SOBs.
(laughing)
- So you need the SOD to get rid of the SOBs,
the free radicals.
- Exactly.
- Now to round this out we're gonna add some
gelatinized maca, and we recently did
an entire video on gelatinized maca which
we'll link too for you guys.
- We're gonna link.
We're gonna link here or we're gonna link here.
- Yeah, if you're on YouTube, link down here.
Facebook, link up here.
- Exactly.
- And last but not least, to make this a seriously
powerful pudding, this is shilajit.
This is a mineral pitch coming from high
in the Himalayan Mountains and this is from very
high in the Himalayan Mountains.
There's some that come from lower down
that are kind of like mixed with other dirt
and things of that nature and not so pure,
more heavy metals.
This is super pure, really high altitude shilajit.
It's high in so many different minerals,
especially fulvic acid and humic acid, so,
great for decalcifying, great for detoxifying
and really great for energy and core power.
That's goin' in.
- Damn this is gonna be some hardcore pudding.
- It adds almost like a coffee flavor
to what we're making here.
- Mm, yum yum.
It's great for breakfast.
Can you imagine?
It's better than just having coffee.
- I know, this, literally,
this and this pudding in a couple different flavors,
was my breakfast for probably five, six years
every single day.
- Wow.
- When I find something that works for me,
I stick to it, and this was that for a very extended
period of time.
- That explains a couple of things.
- I stick to you.
- Oh, and I meant that you are so much in shape
and you're so full of good jing.
- Oh, is that what you meant? - Oh, that's what I meant.
- Now we're gonna add some healthy oils in here.
- MCT, yay.
- So this is C8 caprilyc acid, MCT oil.
Annablanca, would you like to share
about that a little bit?
- Oh yes.
Lots of MCT oils are made from both palm oil
or coconut oil.
Please choose the one from coconut oil.
And there are four kinds of MCTs.
C6, eight, 10, and 12, and they named it by
how many carbons are part of it.
And actually C12 got a better rap
than it should have because C12 is actually lauric acid,
and it's not an MCT, it's actually an LCT.
MCTs are good for you.
Medium-chain triglycerides are incredible.
They don't make a pit stop in your liver.
They immediately just give you good energy for your brain
and energy for your body.
Just all around fantastic for you.
And this is MCT oil which is the C8
and it's only caprylic acid.
- Yeah, so most MCT oils are a C8 and C10,
some are C8 10 and 12, this one--
- Is purely C8, which is purely caprylic acid
and not only gives you good energy,
and it's great for your brain.
It's also antifungal and antiviral.
You know it's good for you if you're fighting candida
and for some ladies if you have other problems
that you would like to fight if you know what I mean.
- Then we're also gonna put a bit of coconut oil in here
for extra cognitive benefit.
Now coconut oil, the cool thing about it
is that at colder temperatures it solidifies
so if you make this pudding and then eat it straight, great.
But if you make this pudding and put in the refrigerator
for a little bit, it's gonna even solidify and almost
like, gelatinize a little bit more
to have a really super thick pudding texture to it.
- Oh, that's my favorite way to eat it.
- Where you take a spoonful out
and it doesn't just fall back in and level out.
There's actually like, a hole still in there.
That's my favorite.
- That's my favorite way to eat this one as well.
- And then we're going to sweeten this up
with Omica stevia, it's our favorite stevia
to use for this kind of stuff.
It has no bitter after taste which
is really, really special.
And it's certified organic.
Finally, last but not least, one ice cube.
Why one ice cube?
Because this is gonna be so thick when it's blending
that it can actually build up some heat
and we don't want it to get too hot
and lose the benefit of some of these great raw ingredients
that we have in here.
So putting one ice cube in there
helps to keep the temperature under control.
- I love these little tips that you have.
- Yeah, now time to blend. - Time to blend.
- Alright, and that's how it's done folks.
