well ic an see the appeal sometimes in wanting to bite into a burger as opposed to carrots. there's a texture and appearance you'd like.

however when raw foodism almost prevents processing or cooking, this argument falls apart and it's more clear that the renaming of granola bars to "cookies" is a deluded attempt to supplant the normal food vocab with the raw food vocab.

you can't call brownies that haven't been cooked at all brownies because they will taste like seeds.

I would also like to point out, at the risk of ruining another fucking topic over doktormartini, that a lot of these recipes might actually make you ill. eating food raw is not something people are used to, and certain raw foods contain extreme levels of nutrients that are balanced in a normal meal while exacerabated in a raw one. overloading your body on nutrients is not a healthy lifestye choice at all.

there's no real reason unless you have extreme health concerns (ie a real doctor told you to) that you should be eating this substitute food. if you're operating under a belief that by paying an extremely high amount of money for goji berries (never scientifically proven to do anything extraordinary or "super") and spirulina (not the amazing wonder algae doktormartini thinks it is, and like all seaweed, a potential carcinogen) will somehow absolve you of health concerns, you're very wrong.

none of these are extremely good for you, they are all much more expensive, and I'll bet everything I've got that a real brownie beats the shit out of some uncooked mix of berries and powder.

I wish I wouldn't have to reply because whenever it feels like I give dok a little leeway that I'm somehow supporting his craziness, but I think it needs to be said that this stuff won't hurt you unless you're actually gonna switch to a raw diet

personally I like to see these recipes, I think it'll be fun to try them out.

yes!  preferably raw honey as raw bee products are superfoods.  Any sweetener would work.

edit: I just checked and nope it's not raw, I thought it would be because it's all cloudy. still think I'm going to give the agave a try anyway

btw on the subject of getting poisoned by your food, honey from local places can be dangerous to your health if the beekeeper doesn't know what he's doing. I wouldn't trust buying it from any random person

it's okay if they aren't awful tasting, but they are! I mean, there is nothing, NOTHING, as good as a warm brownie out of the oven, and I hate to see people waste money on goji berries and shit like that. you obviously don't apply, but he's filled this thread up with enough garbage recipes that it should be pointed out that these are NOT 100% healthy and they can in fact be unhealthy and more importantly they usually don't taste as good as the original!

it wouldn't be a thing if 90% of the topic wasn't doktormartini gushing about superfoods, but since he is, it is worth pointing out that none of this will taste that good, and will more likely taste AWFUL. if I didn't live in a bad place currently I would fill this place with meat recipes all the time just to counter! do not spend all your money on ANISEED OIL or whatever the fuck.

yeah, it's too bad he's nearly the only one posting recipes. it's good that he includes pictures though, we can at least discern whether something looks edible like the brownies, or like something you'd never want to put near your mouth like those muffins I recall from a while ago.

Please show me where spirulina could be carcinogenic?  I have not heard of this.

Also, the brownies have so much cacao and fudge on top that is all you really taste.  My point was to try and reduce the flavor of the superfoods because honestly spirulina taste like shit.  But, if you go to the awesome topic I posted some nice studies done on spirulina

Here is some info about Goji:
Either way, you can't deny that berries in general are really healthy for you.

Yeah this topic should be about everyone so more people should post recipes.  And you can't say they would taste awful cause you haven't tried them ​  My boss said they are the best thing I've ever made (She's biased though).

I just feel like if you are hiding those foods like crazy under CHOCOLATE (yes i know it is just the powder or whatever), you should seriously reconsider whether you should eat them.

also best thing you've ever made doesn't mean much when your recipes are all like this it's kind of like saying "at least this one was covered in chocolate powder"

I don't know I've just always hated people taking foods that absolutely are not a part of something like brownies then making them look like brownies it just seems like you're trying to fool yourself into pretending you like these foods!

edit: I also don't see where you get the idea that overloading yourself with vitamins is good...whatever extra vitamins you're taking in that your body can't use either go to waste or get stuck in your body and start causing problems, just plain eat a balanced diet and stop with these superfoods, they're not super!

I understand your points...

Also it's not just about the vitamins, it's about the other things as well such as carotenoids, antioxidants, and other things like that.
