Raw chocolate shake recipe
Honey in the ingredients? I thought "The Rawtarian" was a raw vegan blog...

Hi No Para Innita... Thanks for your comment.... You can use agave nectar or maple syrup or any other sweetener of your choice :)

I know.
Please don't say it's a vegan blog if you exploit bees.

Exploit bees?!?! LOLOLLLLL! They make honey whether we use it or not, and this is using their natural resources, a product they already make. Beekeeping is GOOD for hive health and colony development! Comments like this are why so many people roll their eyes when they hear "I'm a vegan." Do you live in Portland, too?
To the author of this recipe, thank you for sharing such wonderful recipes. I am currently loving on them. I would like to note that this is listed in the "nut-free" section, but it's not nut-free. :) Thanks again for your thoughtful sharing.

Beekeeping is NOT GOOD for hive health.... Letting them do what they would naturally do is good for hive health. Why do you think we're constantly hearing on the news about the bees dying off? Because we're not eating enough honey? Do you really think that the solution to the bees dying off is for humans to eat more bee vomit? Yes, bees make honey either way, but they don't make it for us, they make it because they need it to feed their young. Beekeepers take that honey, and replace it with High Fructose Corn Syrup. Do you really think that bees will survive as well on High Fructose Corn Syrup as they would on the honey that they make for themselves.
Sorry if you need to roll your eyes when we choose not to eat the vomit of others. I continually forget how EXTREME it is for us to not eat vomit on a daily basis.

Colonizing bees for making honey and sell and make profit from them is exploiting bees.No matter how they small they are or no matter they naturally make it or not.Cows making milk naturally too but collecting them for making milk and sell them to people is exploiting them.Sorry if it's too complicated for you.I was also going to ask if she uses bee honey or other kind?And i'm also loving the recipes thank you.

Thanks for pointing that out, Heather (nut-free...not!). I have fixed that! And I'm glad you enjoy my recipes! :)

So I take it you are not a vegan cause based on what you said then the dairy farmer has all the right to take a mothers milk cause "They make...milk... whether we use it or not, and this is using their natural resources, a product they already make. dairy farming is GOOD for ...cows...health and...herd... development!"
See what I did there.
It makes no difference if it's something they make anyway. The point is that they did not make it for US. They make it for themselves and what right do we have stealing it!
It's a fair request, to not misrepresent ones self. She could have put honey or vegan alternative in the recipe.
No

You should be some research of what veganism means. If she (Rawtarian) use the term "vegan" in her blog, she can't use/promote honey. Period.
Honey is not vegan (it's the same silly opinion of vegetarians can use/promote fish, fish is not vegetarian). End of discussion.
And "rolling eyes" are not relevant. Really. Who cares.
No

John's Review
Raw chocolate shake recipe
I have been doing something very similar to this for me and my kids. I do a couple of things different: 1) I use frozen bananas (cut up to minimize the wear on the blender), and I sweeten with a very small amount of stevia. The bananas are actually pretty sweet on their own (we freeze them at maximum ripeness) but the stevia takes the sweetness to the "Ice Cream" threshold.

Hi John, Great tips here -- stevia is a great sweetener - I use it a lot myself

Raw chocolate shake recipe
Great recipe! However, I am really trying to stay away from any sweeteners outside the fruit pyramid. therefore, i substituted the honey for one pitted date. it turned out delicious and my two year old loved it! anything healthy my child likes is alright by me. Thanks for the recipe!

So glad it turned out well for you and your little one, Celine

Love this shake blended with ice- feels like a treat and fills you up! Sometimes I use coconut water instead of straight water if I need extra electrolytes.
