Candy Corn Smoothie

Evive — Fri, 30 Oct 2020 14:26:26 +0000

We’ve got a healthier sweet treat for you this Halloween! Our Orange Peach smoothie has made a comeback in our newest Candy Corn Smoothie recipe. During these past few months, we’ve reworked the recipe of the Orange Peach. The smoothie now has an improved texture with 15 g of plant-based protein including 110% of your daily intake of Vitamin C. You should also taste the peaches even more!

I hope that you enjoy recreating this recipe this weekend with your family.

Makes 2 servings

1) Orange Peach Layer

– 1 Orange Peach wheel*
– 1/2 cup frozen pineapple
– 1/8 tsp. turmeric powder (optional)
– 1 cup of coconut milk

Blend all ingredients together until smooth.
Pour equal amounts into 2 glasses.
Place glasses in the freezer for a minimum of 30 minutes to prevent layers from mixing together

Order the Orange Peach

*Note: If you don’t have an Orange Peach smoothie on hand, you can substitute it with the Passion Mango instead.

2) Touk-Touk Layer

– 1 Touk-Touk wheel
– 1 carrot, chopped (may need to soften a bit if you do not have a high-speed blender.)
– 3/4 – 1 cup of coconut milk

Blend all ingredients together until smooth.
Pour this layer on top of the Orange Peach layer.
Place glasses in the freezer again to prevent layers from mixing together.

3) Chia Pudding Layer

– 1/4 cup chia seeds
– 1 cup of coconut milk
– 1 tbsp. maple syrup
– 1/2 tsp. vanilla

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir together.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.
Once ready, scoop on top of the Touk-Touk layer.

4) Coconut Whipped Cream

– 1 can of coconut milk (400 ml)
– 1 tbsp. maple syrup

Refrigerated the coconut milk overnight and then separated the thickened coconut cream from the water.
Place the thickened part in a bowl with the maple syrup.
Using an electric mixer, mix until it becomes a whipped cream consistency.
Top each parfait with a spoonful of coconut whipped cream and enjoy!

*Note: If you are wanting to enjoy the smoothie parfaits right away, avoid freezing between each layer. Freezing only helps to prevent the layers from mixing together, but this step is optional.

A Summer Full of Superfoods

Evive — Thu, 18 Jun 2020 20:32:03 +0000

You’ve probably heard the expression; “Your body is a temple.” It’s simple but it’s so true. Our body is made up of trillions of cells, and they’re all working extremely intelligently together. Our bodies carefully listen to our thoughts, which is why it’s so important to pay attention to our levels of stress. It’s a constant sponge that has the ability to detoxify itself if we prioritize our health and well-being. Eating well, getting in a good amount of exercise, and taking time to do the things we love and connect with our loved ones is what maintains the beautiful vessel that is our body.

In order to polish our temple and make it glow from the inside out, certain foods are recommended. Superfoods are essentially foods that are high in nutrients and can especially be beneficial for our health and well-being!

The more I’ve learned about superfoods, the more I found it absolutely essential to include them as ingredients in each and every one of Evive’s smoothies.
– Claudia Poulin, Evive Co-Founder

Without further ado, here are the star superfoods and their main benefits found in our favourite summer smoothies:

Viva’s Superfood Ingredient: Hemp Seeds

Hemp seeds are an incredibly healthy superfood that provides our bodies with so many benefits! They are rich in healthy fats and essential fatty acids and are a complete source of protein which means they’re a good source of energy and helps us feel full for an extended amount of time. They also can reduce the risk of heart disease and help relieve dry skin! It was a no-brainer to include hemp seeds in the Viva smoothie.

Saphir’s Superfood Ingredient: Blue Spirulina

Ever wondered which ingredient gives our Saphir smoothie its gorgeous blue hue? It’s blue spirulina! Spirulina is a type of blue-green algae that grows in both salt and freshwater. It may be one of the most nutrient-dense foods on earth, so it’s incredibly healthy! It has powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and can even improve our bodies’ muscle strength and endurance! I’m so grateful that our refreshing Saphir is a best-seller and that so many people can benefit from this wonderful superfood.

Samouraï’s Superfood Ingredient: Chia Seeds

Chia seeds have become a popular superfood and it’s no surprise! Did you know that almost all the carbs in them are fibre? That’s amazing! It’s also been noted that the high fibre and protein content in chia seeds may help you lose weight. On top of that, they contain nutrients that are essential for our bone health. All in all, it was a must for me to include chia seeds in the Samouraï’s recipe.

Touk-Touk’s Superfood Ingredient: Turmeric

Our tropical Touk-Touk smoothie contains this ancient Indian superfood that is an important spice and medicinal herb. Turmeric contains curcumin, a substance with powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. This means that it stimulates our bodies’ own antioxidant enzymes and neutralizes free radicals. It’s also so appropriate that this sunshine smoothie’s superfood can boost our brains’ neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine which has incredible benefits against depression!
