Re: G.... NV iced coffees?

[Guest guest]

Hi Tatyana - Obviously I'm not but I thought I'd jump in here with an

idea for you. Have you tried throwing it into a blender with some frozen fruit

and/or a banana, some milk or yogurt, and a couple of ice cubes? I make a nice

shake out of mine each morning, sometimes adding fruit and sometimes not, and

it's such a treat! We've also added it to chocolate yogurt and it was yummy. I

will say my son still doesn't like it no matter what we do (but it's a texture

thing, not a taste thing), but when we added the chocolate NV to chocolate

yogurt, it tasted just like chocolate pudding to hubbie and me.

take the NV... did you mention something about making it into a cafe latte or

iced coffee kind of drink? If so, what did you mix it with? I'm struggling to

drink the vanilla NV so have ordered the chocolate (as I can't imagine chocolate

being offensive in ANY form! LOL!)... was hoping to find ways to mix it that

are palatable! As you are the NV " expert " , any ideas would be great!

Hi Tatyana and Dianne!

Nope wasn't me that talked about mixing nutriiveda with any type of

coffee...funny but Glenn and I don't drink coffee, maybe once in a blue moon.

I could have told you about the 'pumpkin latte' recipe that Weiss my

fitness model friend who trains with Mr. Florida

http://www.repetrope.com/women/competitors/detail.asp?CompetitorID=7634 (class E

bikini #11) told me about -around Thanksgiving we were all drinking this and

clearly the word " latte " makes it sound like it has coffee in it.

Pumpkin Pie Latte'

You take 2 scoops of vanilla with 3 tablespoons of pumpkin (from the can -but

not the pumpkin pie in the can " that has all that crap in it- just the pure

pumpkin " as said)

Just a note -I typically add more than 3 tablespoons of pumpkin but I don't

train with Mr. Florida

To the pumpkin and vanilla nutriiveda add a 1/4 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice

(can get in any market -from Whole Foods to Walmart), a " splash " of Silk or some

other vanilla milk, a squeeze of agave (this is the one I use

http://www.allaboutagave.com -and this too you can buy anywhere from Whole

Foods to Walmart...if you want the flavored ones like Chocolate agave etc. that

you probably need to either get online or in a health food store)

Then just add some water and ice and blend and that's it -tastes like a pumpkin

latte! (you can add cool whip on top said and have as dinner /dessert

I have seen mocha and cappuccino flavored soy milk at the store -so sure you

could mix that with the chocolate. Like the pumpkin latte here and there but

love the chocolate.

taught me if you want really good protein powder recipes- check on the

body builder sites -so with a quick search I found these (PS I wouldn't use

anything that recommends cooking with it- body builders aren't doing this for

neuro benefits -but muscle ones and there are honestly just too many ways to use

this product creatively without cooking, microwave or using boiling liquids):

This one was at the bottom but I'm adding it on top too (keep in mind you don't

have to use fat and sugar free -with kids you want fat and your main concern is

what is healthy and natural -but use these as a guide as they are written for

body builders who watch everything...and BTW -my friend and her coach are

" blown away " by nutriiveda too -so it passes body builder standards even for

protein connoisseurs who analyze and live these types of things!)
