VeganMoFo #18 Un-Thrive Diet Smoothie
Okay, so I'm posting this as a caution to any of you who might want to try recipes from this book I've been raving about for the past few posts.
BE CAREFUL with the smoothies in there. They include flax/hemp oil, a tablespoon combined, which you put in the smoothie. Something in the smoothie made me very sick and I think it was the oil and not the hemp protein powder. I drank it around 9am and around 1pm I started feeling nauseous and ended up throwing up 4x within an hour. I'm still a little shaky even now.
I posted over on veganpeople where everyone seems to think it was probably the oil. Apparently some people are sort of intolerant to eating the oil straight instead of in capsules or something. So I must be a little sensitive to it. It's possible I could be intolerant to hemp, but I cooked with hemp oil earlier in the week and it was fine.
So... yeah. If you're trying to introduce new refined oils to your diet, use them sparingly at first and see how you react to them. Apparently they're more powerful than you might think. Check to make sure they're not rancid, too... although I think mine are ok.
