Spirulina, an algae known for its nutritional benefits for hundreds of years in Mesoamerica and Africa, is only now coming on our radar in the USA. It’s high in B vitamins, proteins (actually has more protein than just about anything else, and is a complete protein at that), and contains ALL of the essential amino acids. Here’s a recipe that’s delicious and easy to make – enjoy! www.aluminouslife.com www.rawkout.com www.twitter.com/charismb

Horaayy..there are 26 comment(s) for me so far ;)
check iherb.com for natural,organic products and supplements for cheaper than whole foods,they have thousands, and use code KEB068 for 5 $ off on your first purchase.a really solid site.take a look ,many brands Chlorella and Spirulina
@Misstee1089 It’s 70% digestible protein(or something like that) so yes and no, its not high caloric wise, but the amino acid benefits are insane
Love this! I want to try your recipe!
@mreisma Thanks for the info. Spirulina is too sticky to shake, it would just turn into little globs which would taste pretty gross. Hence the paste, and slowly thinning it out :)
ahhh i did this exact recipe but i used calamansi instead bcuz that what i got growing in my back yard. if ur using those jars you can put the lid on and just shake the thing to mix it up.
@Misstee1089 – No, spirulina actually helps you lose weight, since it’s many nutrients are so quickly absorbed by the body.
@Misstee1089 Spirulina has a lot of protein, so I suppose if you were exercising and having spirulina afterward to try to bulk up, then yes, it would help you put on muscle. If you’re talking about gaining weight as fat, I’ve never heard of this happening. I do know that I, along with other veggers sometimes have trouble keeping enough weight ON in cold weather (burn too many calories shivering!) and spirulina helps that.
But actually I think it’s better for weight LOSS.
Hello, is it true that you can gain weight from taking Spirulina?
@Andynz1974 I’m glad you like it! It’s a great source of protein and vitamins – I notice a definite difference in my energy, alertness, and even my skin when I drink it. It’s also FANTASTIC for drinking after a workout instead of those empty sports drinks!
Thanks, I followed your recipe and now I drink it all the time.
so fast in making them.. this is what you call progress :)) lol
@ms3alaya I’ve got the first book and the second book and randomly the recipes are different for their Red Velvet Cupcakes :/
ahh.the humming bird bakery is my favourite bakery:)
I WANNA EAT THIS RIGHT NAOW.
I can never get the right colour
I wanna order a red velvet cake from these ppl, for my birthday, but I’m indecisive =
@chocochipcookie2011
There is no vanilla extract in Hummingbird’s cream cheese icing
mmmmm … my favourite one!
@chocochipcookie2011 Well maybe the recipe doesn’t call for vanilla
I think she forgot to add the vanilla extract to the cream cheese frosting in this video
I’ve got the humming bird bakery book , in this book the red velvet cupcakes recipe uses 1 egg but in the video they use 2 eggs xD
mm
I bake these cakes a lot. They are my favourite things to make and I am obsessed with them. Thanks for an amazing recipe!
@STR3TCH1981 hi i buy all mine offfunkymuffin.co.uk which is recommended in the back of ‘The hummingbird bakery cookbook’
I have downloaded your baking tips from your website so my question is now answered. Thanks again.
Thank you for your video. I have your book ‘The Hummingbird Bakery Cookbook’ and was wondering where’s best to buy the American-style cupcake/muffin cases online?
Oh and its a great book btw :-)
