Chocolate Bliss Variations from David Favor (the creator)

Just got this email from David Favor and thought you might be interested in his Chocolate Bliss variations too:

***

My primary food has been Chocolate Bliss since March 2004.

And I change it up a bit. Here are some of our house favorite variations.

For the banana variations, blend well. And adding extra banana in an ice cream machine makes some seriously decadent, frozen goodness.

1) Add a drop of essential oil to a glass. Great experiments – Orange, Frankincense, Rose.

2) Add a splash of Black Cherry, Pomegranate or other fruit juice.

3) Add a drop of Orange + splash of Black Cherry. This is one of my favorites.

4) 2 Cups liquid Chocolate Bliss + banana + 1/4 Cup Coconut Oil + 1 Cup Blueberries.

5) 2 Cups liquid Chocolate Bliss + banana + 1/2 Cup or more fresh Durian. Way decadent!

6) Ice-ify your Chocolate Bliss. Put your Gallon ‘o Bliss in the freezer till ice crystals just start to form.

7) Chai-ify your Chocolate Bliss. Add 1/8t+ of one or more cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg.

Send your favorite Chocolate Bliss variation to help at RadicalHealth.com and I’ll give your recipe a taste test. Use a subject line with My Favorite Chocolate Bliss Recipe.

Enjoy your most divinely inspired day ever!

Nutrition Label Info

nutrition label manWe get a lot of questions asking about the nutritional analysis of Chocolate Bliss and other superfoods.   The simple answer is that we do not know or have access to the nutritional breakdown … yet. We have asked David Favor, the creator of the SunFire Super Food line we carry, for this information.  He says it is on his list of things to do.

In the meantime, the lack of a nutritional panel exposes yet another way we’ve been conditioned to think of food that might not always serve us well.  Here are a few perspectives for you to consider:

From David Favor’s Perspective

David tells us that he is a little bit reluctant to put the nutritional breakdown of his products on the label, because it doesn’t really tell you anything useful. He feels that if the label is on there, people will compare what’s on the label to what is on the label of other foods which are not as pristine, natural or nutritionally packed. Also, natural foods don’t just have more nutrition, but that nutrition is also much more available to the body. For instance, when you eat a conventionally grown tomato that’s been picked a while ago, shipped and ripened chemically, and you eat a fresh tomato organically grown in your own garden, they are very different tasting and one is clearly much better for you. But if they had nutritional labeling on them, the labels would be virtually identical.

Not All Agave is Created Equal

Today Mercola posted an article basically ripping apart agave nectar, claiming that it is far worse than high fructose corn syrup. Some of us feel Mercola is a bit too simplistic in his thinking and that he may even have the hidden agenda of creating controversy so people forward his articles. It seems to be working! :-)

There does seem to be a lot of controversy around agave these days. David Favor, the creator of SunFire Super Foods (the brand of agave we distribute), has posted this link is to earlier questions and responses about agave: http://radicalhealth.com/super-foods/vanilla-agave-nectar-decoded.html

Additionally, David’s response to Mercola’s article is this:
