Heyooo registered dietitian here. They are only required to list certain vitamins/minerals and that information can be expensive for a company to test for. Just because they are missing from the label doesn’t mean they aren’t in there! Frozen fruit is very nutritious- it can even have more vitamins than fresh fruit since it is usually frozen soon after being harvested. 18:12
I was looking for this comment! My degree is in food science and it is definitely very expensive to test for and list out all of the additional micronutrients that are not required by law. Plus, the nutrition content in unprocessed fruits and vegetables can actually vary quite a bit, so if the company says there is x amount of a micronutrient like copper, for example, and the amount varies seasonally or with different suppliers, they can get in trouble for it. Most companies opt to not list the micronutrients for these reasons. Definitely doesn't mean those nutrients are not there.
I second this but also would say that they may as well have not added any protein because a minimum of 15-30 grams of protein per meal is best, but I'd recommend 40-50 to help prevent glucose spikes and encourage satiety and help reach protein goals daily too! I'm a dietitian with a focus on glucose control.
I have a question i once read that because you don't chew on a smoothie youre body does not take in the vitamins as good in comparison to fruit you eat wich you do chew on. Is this true? The article was about the hype of smoothies and adding a lot of super foods. There conclusion was just eat the 2 fruits a day instead of drinking smoothies filled up with expensive superfoods
@@lindavanveen2093The more you chew your food up the easier it is for your stomach to digest. It shoukd be like a grewl. Smoothies are just easily digestable
Same with veggies.
It’s like on one level, I’m very aware that you live in Canada, and on another level I’m always so thrown off by the bagged milk
Coming from a Canadian, we don’t all have bagged milk haha. Just the east!
Came here to say something similar 🤣 bagged milk makes me nervous!
From central Canada, and we have 4L jugs! Just eastern Canada with their bagged milk.
I live in Nova Scotia and I haven’t seen bagged milk in eons.
Close to Ottawa here and we do have bagged milk lol
As someone who has a mushroom and honey allergy, and cannot have many other things it is really difficult to find food/smoothies/vegetarian options without them.
I am with you there my lists keeps growing the latest being Chillies.... I love Chillies but now heck nope and they seem to be hidden everywhere now anything that states Spices I can not have as most have chillies in mix... I love cooking from scratch at home but there are times I can't be bothered but now no choice
Me too! I’m allergic to both bananas and avocado plus a bunch of other fruits, so smoothies are a minefield.
@@hjcdormouse7337can you tolerate cayenne pepper? That might be a substitute? Some foods I can tolerate processed but not fresh, so I’m wondering if that might make a difference for you.
@@rebekahearly1144
Oh Bananas 🤦♀️not that I wish multiple allergies on you but at least we are not alone.
When eating out and folk go just eat whatever as I then point out difference between lifestyle choice not to have and allergies = reason always have a big bag to carry 2 Epipens and a Nebuliser to start me off treating if get caught out before ambulance comes.
@@rebekahearly1144 I am now getting tingle with Chyenne Pepper so waiting to it to test as a avoid. I have always loved cooking but lordi hard work reinventing a whole new menu and food can end up so bland
Revive has HORRIBLE customer service. Mine came fully melted and they refused to refund. They came 1 day early and i grabbed it from the post man. I literally spent $80.00 on a ton of extra trash.
The idea of getting cold stuff delivered always concerns me!
@@strawberrysoymilkshake i order a few frozen food items and have never had an issue. If it comes melted, they always replace. Revive just flat out refuses even with proof.
So my husband and I got a bunch of the Revive smoothies earlier in the year and I found much the same- they all seemed very bland to the point where I preferred homemade ones 🤷♀️ convenient, but not as flavourful as I hoped!
I think it's easier and far more cost efficient to just make my own smoothies at home. Plus then I know EXACTLY what's in it (generally just whole fruit/veggies and juice in mine, maybe protein if I add some) I don't like milky smoothies so I don't use milk ever in mine and only very rarely use yogurt.
YES, totally!
Do most people use the milk to thin it out and not have a breakfast with such a high fructose number. I guess my oldness really shows in my appreciation of coconut milk, which I adore because the texture is like whole milk with like 40 calories and very low sugar. I am riding that line to prediabetes, so I am glad that God invented hard seltzers just in time!
The evive ones are pretty good for a quick thing. I usually have them around for when I need a quick veggie and fruit fix.
Have you tried putting avocado in your smoothies? It's delicious because it adds such a nice richness to it. I discovered it as my son keeps loosing weight and not eating much and I like to sneek good foods that don't actually change the flavor. 😅
@@SPW1031W I love doing this! I have Crohn's and rely on smoothies for calories and fruits/veggies/vitamins etc since I generally can't eat whole fruits and veggies but love them. Avocados are a great way to add some extra smoothness and healthy fats to your diet in a smoothie.
I honestly would love a tally of how many times Rachel says something's in the freezer in these summer videos. It's like a catchphrase at this point.
You should test all the different canned margaritas you can find! (For those of us that camp without electricity!)
I love cutwater margaritas in a can. Pretty strong and delicious!
Uptown margarita is a 13.9% bottle made with agave wine and it's really good imo
Having a peanut and a tree nut allergy is so tough because for some reason companies seem to think you can have one or the other! (for those who don't know, peanuts are not nuts, they are legumes. Whereas "real" nuts like pine or walnut are referred to as tree nuts)
Yea it always surprises me when Rachel can have tree nuts and coconut but not like peanuts and some others(I think) as someone with a tree but allergy I always panic when she says she’s eating coconut and/or almonds or something lol
One of my daughter's roommates had peanut and treenut and a few other allergies. It made bringing snacks to the house practically impossible. We made it work, but it really showed me how hard it must be to be the person with the allergies, watching for these ingredients forever and not just a school year.
I’m allergic to avocado. I feel you
There are definitely some people with one or the other but yes it does seem like they go together more often than not (which is weird considering peanuts aren't a nut!).
Came here from watching Hopescope's new videos! Love when my fave channels post on the same day!
@almaecluil Just want to say thank you, you’ve made me discovered the Hopescope’s channel and I ‘m binge watching since then ♥️
18:40 i’m taking a diet & nutrition class as part of my CNA certification and a lot of vitamins/minerals can disappear depending on how a specific food item with those vitamins/minerals is processed/prepared. however, with those bowls/smoothies being a single serving, there just might not be enough of a nutrient to be picked up on
i doubt its the single serving thing in this case, because the other smoothies she tested (Evive, the Canadian brand in the wheel) are also single serve and are full of vitamins. I suspect Revive's process somehow destroys the nutrients...which is wild for this type of product. no one drinks smoothies for the sugar content!
For the Revive smoothies, I recommend using some kind of juice over milk. I make a lot of smoothies at home and I vary between milk and juice depending on the flavor I want, but milk always makes it less strong of a flavor.
One thing that’s really good is making some herbal/fruit tea, let it cool and then use that for smoothies. You get a great flavour but no extra sugar and it lets the flavour of the fruit shine.
That’s what I do when I make my smoothies homemade! Started using juices and never looked back since then!
I have been watching your channel for several months now but I never introduced myself! I love your channel because YOU try all the things I don't have the money to try or have wanted to try but just haven't and I appreciate you for it. Thank you. I love the dynamic between you and your husband as well! SO cute you 2 are! Hi! I'm Kay.
The powderiness is the spirulina probably, it makes stuff taste powdery usually
And the pea protein
Edit: or was that the evive 😂
@@strawberrysoymilkshake I never had those. Spirulin was recommended 20 years ago for mental acuity or memory or something like that, so my mum bought some when I had exams coming up, I don’t think I took too much of it though
As a fellow Millennial I feel so called out when you said we love mugs ☕️ As I look at my new one I just bought this week 🙈😋💜🇨🇦
Every time I hear someone talk about chia seeds I'm brought back to my childhood. I literally only hear the "ch-ch-ch-ch-cha chia" jingle for chia pets. Ahh brings me back
😂 YES!!! I forgot about those! 😂
Right?? I remember my mom bringing some home to mix in food and I was like, "the seeds with the plant heads??"😂
Did not expect to hear Finnish in todays Rach video! Chris even nailed that double consonant p sound 😄
I would love to find smoothies without bananas, they're the bane of my taste buds!
Me too. Not sure what happens to bananas in smoothies but it infects the whole thing or has some kind of additive to stop it going brown. More smoothies without banana!
same and he said it perfectly too
Do bananas even taste like anything?
@@radhiadeedou8286 sometimes
For real. Bananas are the absolute worst. And I think Chris grew up in Finland? Something like that, I think.
Hi from Saskatoon. Love your videos. You bring so much joy and I can always count on your videos to cheer me up. Thank you.
So I've tried a Pear Moscow mule at a restaurant near me and loved it! We re-created for the 4th of July.
1.5 oz pear schnapps
1.5 oz vodka (Prickly Pear Vodka 🤌🏼)
Ginger beer
.5 oz Key lime juice (or your liking)
Ice
Lime (Squeeze and drop in, your preference, but not needed. More presentation than anything. )
Add ice first.Then add other ingredients and top of with ginger beer.
So good!
🍹 cheers!
Thanks for this! Def gonna try this weekend
@212babylove You're welcome. Let me know what you thought. I found a Prickly pear vodka! 🤭 Now I've got to taste test that! 😆It never ends!!
Enjoy you girl!! Oh, and yeah, people don’t get the Ember mug, but I do. If you know you know. You either lose (forget) your hot drink or you don’t.
♥️
Hi Rachel! I have near identical hair issues as you have been having with the same thinning and breakage at the top to mid root and noticeable shedding, as well as similar spine issues and allergies (stemming from ehlers danlos syndrome/ hypermobility spectrum disorder). I figured out that any coconut products would cause a delayed reaction eith similar hair issues and they are almost entirely resolved since removing the coconut in my hair products and oral consumption. And i was using coconut based electrolyte replacement for my heart rate/ low bp related issues. So big issue there absolved.
With you having nut and peanut allergies, a mild, delayed coconut allergy/intolerance could indeed be in play with your hair breakage. I wish my derm and i put it together sooner!
My Saturday sunshine!!
I want merch of the "revive smoothies but let slushies die" 😂
Also, I was bombed lately with Instagram adds for Transmitg, their clothes look super cute, thought you'd want to try :)
I got a Revive mixed pack at Costco - smoothies, soups, quinoa meals. Pretty good for dairy and guten free.
Zimt means cinnamon in German! Interesting for it being a regular milk chocolate lol
Kippis right back at ya! 😁 🇫🇮
I use a stick immersion blender with my Evive smoothies and they're very smooth. I love that I can make a smaller drink for my toddler with 1/4-1/2 of a wheel too.
Which flavor(s) do you like best/recommend?
@@BhappyD Viva, Sapphire and Aztheque are our family favs.
Awesome video! Could you review the Ryze mushroom coffee and matcha? I've heard such good things about them!
11:50 You taught me something new! I have had the smoothie attachment for my Vita mix for years. I could never figure out how to use it because it had no lid. Now I see you screw it to the blender and mix it that way. Man, do I feel like a dumb dumb.
Loved this video!🥰
Chia seeds as they gain moisture the plump up so if you have any kind of gi issue or an autoimmune that affects those systems, chia will can potentially make you sick. I take it with my Gatorades 5 hours after mixing them together because if I don't I become violently ill from the over extensions of my esophagus, stomach and intestines and I will not only vomit but stop the motility of my GI tract entirely and I need medications to correct the issues which sadly also include tearing. Chia seeds plump up to look like frog eggs or what textbook pictures of cells look like when introduced to moisture.
Nutrition information on the acai bowl: nutrition labels do not disclose everything, they disclose what is required by the regulatory agency in your country and maybe a little more as long as the %'s don't change too much from what was sampled. It's up to the company if they wish to disclose more (usually costs more money!). If you put the ingredients in that bowl into a nutrition calculator, you will find a lot more nutrition than what is on the label. The fruit here is flash-frozen, it's a great way to conserve a lot of the nutrition minus some of the enzymes. None of the plant constituents, enzyme, or micro-mineral compositions would ever be disclosed on any nutrition label unfortunately. Also, be aware that these contain citric acid which is black mold. (I briefly covered this in the plant coating video just released but plan on doing an in-depth special about it.)
I’ve been a bif fan of Evive smoothies for yeaaaars!! They’re the best when I feel lazy and don’t want to make a smoothie from scratch. And they’re from Montreal! ❤️
15:21 I will be checking them out. I am very allergic to alcohol. I break out in hives and my lips swell. I am always on the hunt for a good place that makes non-alcoholic or Alcohol free beverages.
I tried the brand Fre wine and it is pretty good. It still tastes like wine. I have also tried the brand Spiritless their Whiskey to be exact. I don't know how they do it but they made a beverage with NO ALCOHOL still have that burn that Whiskey has. It's insane.
EDIT: I am so bummed they only ship to Canada it seems😢😢😢
Happy Saturday from Newfoundland ❤
As someone with a lot of food intolerances and sensitivities/allergies sometimes making my own smoothies is the way to go. I can’t do too much dairy either so I substitute juice, or use frozen fruits. Occasionally I will buy a pre-made pack for Açai bowls. I tested the evive company from the grocery store but didn’t like the taste and I can’t do Pea Protein. It hurts my tummy.
they have the straw cleaner things at bulk barn!
So the smoothies nay have more vitamins/minerals than shown but there are only a few that they HAVE to report so those are the only ones they DO report. Look at the nutritional labeling requirements for your country and you'll see why those are the ones they show. In the US, it's vitamin D, Calcium, Iron, and Potassium for the micronutrients. Then for macros, they have to show carbs wuth breakdown for fiber versus sugar. Yours might differ in Canada or wherever you purchase from.
Interesting, thanks for this context. I had no idea!
Finally someone I know and love tries Revive! I've been dying to know especially since Evie was horrible when I tried it
That blue evie one I enjoy with orange juice and with that blue revive one too!
Evive is so cool!! I know veganbodegacat has been using them for years!
They also have suggestions as to what to blend their mixes with 😊
who better to have on as i install my new rug & put together my new lamp. thanks for the soundtrack!
I order my drinks from daily Harvest and the mint and cacao is my fave. Refreshing and sweet
I'm a big fan of the Evive smoothies. I like them better mix in a blender 😊 for me, best one is the Viva with peanut butter add in ❤️
I think the mocktails would be nice especially since I don't drink alcohol
Just depends on the sugar content
Same! I hate the burning and taste of alcohol. Maybe I'll like these better!
While watching this I was convinced that Daily Harvest must have rebranded to Revive because they sell the exact same products and the packaging looks similar (but in color) and even the clip of the website Rach showed looked similar. Turns out they did not. And after reading some of the other comments about Revives horrible customer service it seems like it shouldn’t be surprising that they’re branding and product are *so* close to another brands. I’ve never tried them but I have tried Daily Harvest (I haven’t ordered in a few years though) but DH was great and it was a breeze to cancel when it just didn’t work for me anymore (it was a circumstances thing, nothing to do with the product) maybe give them a try instead of the smoothies sound interesting to you 🤷🏼♀️
I came to the comments for this as well. I am also a former Daily Harvest subscriber and I loved their stuff, customer service was great and it was super easy to cancel. Hoping to restart deliveries in the future- just make sure you have enough freezer space!
I love your eyeshadow 😍
Kippis! Christopher keeping up with the Finnish audience ❤🇫🇮
As a fin, Chris saying kippis instead of cheers made my day😂❤️
When I make a smoothie I use frozen fruit, a Greek lime yogurt and a couple of drops of OJ. Never thought to add milk.
I’m a lawyer too, and also VERY passionate about making margs 😂 what’s funny is most lawyers I know are either very passionate about making drinks, or dinking drinks, or both hahaha😂
I wanna be the first to geek out about the milk in a bag! Love from the US
PLEASE PLEASE TRY JENNA RAE CAKES’ CHUNKIES! They ship to Canada and US ☺️☺️
Hi from Winnipeg ❤️
I love the hungry caterpillar tee! 😂
Love his Eric Carle shirt!!
I LOVE revive smoothies. The sweetened almond milk etc definitely makes them a bit sweeter
My husband is geeking out about your 1983 Beach Boys shirt. He was apparently at that concert in Daytona Beach at the baseball stadium. 😂
Chris " what's a maca for you?? " 😂😅
Have you tried the brand Recess? They make non alcoholic beverages like mojitos and margaritas. A friend of mine says they are very good.
Maybe the smoothies need to be made with some juice and just a little bit of milk. Cows milk is a very strong taste. Can you have oat or rice milk?
brazilian here, just stopped by to point out the perfect pronunciation of "açaí" , it's really rare to see english speakers saying it correctly, but rachel nailed it! 💜💜
Can you test oats overnight company? The blue joke will never get old! 🎶 I'm blue. Da ba dee da ba di.🎶
I looove the green Evive smoothies
It's the editeding for me😂 Rachel please 😂😂😂😂😂😂
This might be my fav Christopher shirt I’ve seen so far
05:04 my German brain when Rachel tried to pronounce Zimt 😂
The z is pronounced more like you'd in British English "zed" not "cee", but way harsher, in Zimt it's more like a tz sound in the beginning.
So I got the fruit one. I think strawberry something I can't remember now. I didn't do milk cuz it does mute it. Instead I did cran ras juice. It made it AMAZING. Try making them with a juice that complements
I'm obsessed with the nail colors in this video. Where did you get???? ❤❤❤
Chris always has cool shirts.
I'm lactose intolerant. And I either eat cheaper dark chocolate (it tends to be sweeter) or I absolutely love the lidl's fin carré vegan chocolate. They have an awesome one. But it's a vegan hazelnut one which you're allergic to. The other one is a cookies and cream one. It's so good but they don't sell it anymore at my lidl. It's again vegan but it has oreo type cookies crushed into it. The only problem is I have sensitive teeth and this chocolate is very very sweet. But tastes rather chocolatey.
I'm almost surprised you hadn't have Evive yet they are Canadian and were on Dragon's Den. They also have lunch pods too.
How do you do your nails?!?! Is it polish. Gel? They always look amazing.
Use O.J. with the fruit ones!
“I’m a millennial and we love mugs!” This might be one of the most relatable things I’ve ever heard! Haha.
I've tried Daily Harvest, which is similar to Revive, even down to being unimpressed with it as well, especially for the price.
I've been using Daily Harvest for a few years now. I agree that I've been unimpressed with quite a few of their items just due to them not being flavorful enough...but I do have my couple go-to's that I consistently repurchase. The Lentil + Tomato Bolognese Harvest Bowl, Broccoli and Cheeze Harvest Bowl, Cacao + Peppermint Bites, and Raspberry+ Fig Bites are my favorites. Some of the Harvest Bakes and Flatbreads are decent too, but not in my top 5. Overall, if you can find a few things you like and don't mind eating the same things a lot, it could be a good option. I don't mind eating the same thing over and over again 🤣
Ninja creamy recipe video please!!!❤️
My kids love the evive smoothies, but because I don't like waiting, I just blend it and turns out much creamier. Also instead of a cup of milk I do 1/4 pinapple juice, and 3/4 milk.
I appreciate Christopher’s shooter mcgavin top hahah
I’d try adding fruit juice to these smoothies. A little oj or something
I brought the Ryzen mushroom coffee and it's actually not that bad, I mix it with just a little bit of the premier protein vanilla and it's good. You should try it out
WHERE is that hungry hungry caterpillar shirt from, I need it!!!
Christopher always has amazing t-shirts!
The Hungry Caterpillar shirt!!!!
Nothing, what’s the macca with you 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Thanks for the laugh 😂
Hi! Working in a Food R&D agency. Nutrition labeling depends on the standards of the country but micronutrients such as vitamins and minerals are usually not required to be in the label. With that said, if the label doesn't have vitamins in it, it could be that they just did not want to disclose it or the vitamin content is so tiny that it wouldn't have an effect on the recommended daily intake of an average person. It doesn't mean that the fruits don't have vitamins. Further, since the fruits are flash frozen, there might be some vitamin loss due to freezing injury. Hope that helps! 🥰
I heard from at least orange juice, whenever you juice the orange and leave it like that, it will continuously bleed healthy benifits, like vitamins. Boxed fruit juices are just fruity sugar waters at some point. The best thing is to drink it the day of, or eat the fruit itself
I can’t hear mouthfeel without immediately thinking of Boyle from Brooklyn 99😂
What’s your smoothie recipe again? Would love to know!
Fellow nut allergy person here! I did a small bit of searching and found that chia seeds have 7s and 11s seed protien that are also found in peanuts and tree nuts. There's no significant research that shows cross allergen associations, but it's possible.
Yet another reason we'll never be able to buy store made granola...
As far as the vitamins and minerals on the container - most labels only list one or two vitamins (usually the fat soluble ones) and macro nutrients. All other micronutrients - minerals, b, c, d, e vitamins etc, are not listed on the label at all, although you are still getting some of that in there…. UNLESS they are pasteurized, in which case there are none naturally left in so they would have to add them back in (in which case they would probably be listed).
12:35 maybe they suggest soy milk because of it.
I've tried once soy milk and got nauseous because for me was too sweet (haven't tried other vegetable milks so don't know if something normal for that type of beverage). I don't my drinks very sweet
Would love if you tried alcohol from Top Shelf Distillers, they show up on my Instagram all the time, and I'm very curious as to what butter tart moonshine is like lol
I had subscribed to Revive in the past and I honestly don't recommend. As Rachel had to do in this video, the amount of milk they direct you to add is NEVER enough, and for those of us with blenders that are not Vitamix-strength, it's a major pain. I've also come across smoothies with ingredients in them that aren't listed (banana when no bananas were listed) or incorrectly listed (supposed to have raspberries and the smoothie I got had strawberries in it).
"Revive smoothies but let slushies die" HAHAH
It’s the “aye” for me
I guess I am not a mocktail enthusiast, with the exception of a pina colada and a strawberry daquiri extra whipped cream. But, let's face it, that is pretty much a milkshake. I also wonder if getting alcohol free alcohol bottles would be some sort of twisted gateway to wanting the real bottles and the real alcohol for someone who is in recovery. However, how brilliant you could use this for someone at your party who you need to slow down. You give them the non alcoholic booze after drink 5 and they would have no idea and be sober by the party's end. Love that you guys have two preggos simultaneously. That is very exciting, gonna be baby heaven for the whole fam!!!
wait wait wait, what are those shot glasses? I WANT them, right now. o.o
My hubby is also a Christopher and he also has a very bad sense of smell! lol
Over the last few days I have constantly been getting an advert for a foundation called dcypher that is apparently customer made!
I love how Christopher is like your personal Alexa or Google and he responded just like they would. "Hey Christopher, what is maca?..."
Whereeeeee did Chris get the hungry caterpillar shirt??
