Nutiva Organic Chocolate Hemp Shake
June 12th, 2009 by Erin
It seems like Whole Foods is really wrapping their arms around the hemp revolution.
They now carry the Nutiva Organic Hemp Shake, and in contrast with Whole Foods sometimes steep prices, you can snag this delicious shake at $0.99. It contains organic hemp protein, superfood chocolate blend (organic FairTrade Certified chocolate, organic ramon nuts, organic guar gum, inulin from chicory root, organic mesquite pods), organic Fair Trade Certified evaporated cane juice, and organic chocolate flavor.
If you’re looking for a good dose of fiber to stay regular, you need to pick some of this up. Ellen over at IAteAPie.net recommends it. Mix 2-4 tablespoons of HempShake™ with milk (or ideally, soy milk, hemp milk, rice milk or almond milk), and throw in some banana (optional) and blend to make it rich and frothy. Each serving provides 12 grams of fiber and 7 grams of protein.
If you don’t know me by now, I love anything organic and hemp is definitely a staple in my diet. I’ve been looking for a healthy morning beverage mix and since Carnation just isn’t cutting it, I think I know what my new go-to mix is.
Here’s a recipe courtesy of NutivaHempShake.com:
Chocolate Dream
2-4 Tbsp. Nutiva® Hempseed
2-4 Tbsp. Nutiva® HempShake™
8 oz. vanilla rice milk
1-2 Tbsp. Nutiva® Coconut Oil
1 ripe or frozen bananaPlace seeds in a blender with 1 oz. of water, blend into a thick paste, and add remaining ingredients.
Done.
tFS Originals: 10 Great Food Options to Eat While Stoned
June 8th, 2009 by ErinWhile some may argue that Cheetos and Hostess Cupcakes are the best foods to eat while you’re stoned, we’re going to try and expand your minds and bellies a bit more with some more intriguing options to satisfy your palette.
1.) Pirate’s Booty
More incredible than popcorn, Cheez-its, and Chex Mix combined, Pirate’s Booty is also a healthier alternative for those salty, crunchy cravings. Seriously, try it.
2.) Trader Joe’s: Mango Vanilla Soy Creamy
The first time I tried this, I was very high and it was literally one of the most amazing things I’ve ever eaten in my life. I know some of you are anti-soy, but it’s absolutely a perfect blend of vanilla and some kind of mango sorbet. The combination is orgasmic (and I’m not one to throw around that word.)
3.) Tiramisu
When I initially saw Silvio’s recipe for Tiramipot, I was very excited. Tiramisu is one of those amazing desserts that will hit the spot no matter what your mood. It’s not too heavy with the perfect blend of flavors. It’s not overly sweet and the texture is very conducive to happy, medication time.

Rainbow Cake Deluxe
January 29th, 2009 by Alex
The awesomely named Omnomicon – which gives me the mental image of Maury’s fat guest combined with the Necronomicon – has put together a colorsplosion of a cake recipe, correctly named Rainbow Cake.
This cake is not only awesome for full grown men with a sweet tooth, but Aleta (the color chef) uses lightweight ingredients and even makes her own frosting. After all, there’s no need to snap your belt while enjoying cake.
You don’t need an excuse to bake this, but getting really high before enjoying the Rainbow Cake definitely couldn’t hurt. Aleta also recommends doubling the recipe, it is accurate but the end result is a pretty small cake that could use some extra frosting.
Either way, let’s hope this tastes as delicious as it looks. More images after the jump, and thanks Aleta!
