Energy, Recovery and a Transformation with Chocolate Pudding and Mito-E | Natalie Jill

Hi, guys. Natalie, Jill here. Back on Unprocessed yous Diet. And today I've got two friends with me, Courtney and Dave. And I met Kourtney through our kids soccer, but we were talking, as I always am guilty of doing, about nutrition and fitness, and we got into transformations and health foods, and she introduced me to her friend Dave, and I was like, dave, I gotta put you on camera, and I've got to share your story because this is so cool.

So Dave doesn't really want to be on camera, so I told him everyone would like him because he's got a great story, right?

I do.

So Dave. What I wanted to share about him is Dave is a typical dad. How many kids do you have, Dave?

I have three daughters.

Three daughters. Okay. So he's got his hands full. And like a lot of guys, he was very active. He was athletic. Never really had to watch what he ate. Just.

Active.

I was always active. I grew up in California, San Diego, So I was always surfing. Surfing and skateboarding, which I ate whatever I wanted to because I was always active. Exactly like you said.

And that's what happens to a lot of men. They just are active, so they feel like they can eat what they want. They don't really have to learn about foods. They know maybe they should, but they don't. But then what happened? You gained a lot of weight, right? Yeah.

You know, life got in the way. Homework, drop off, school weekends, soccer games, everything that kids do took all the time that I usually had for myself to go to the gym, be active and do that. So, you know, I was getting home and I was exhausted, so I'd be coming home from work, helping out with homework, and straight on the couch the rest of the night, and that was it.

And then if it was time to.

Eat, what did you want?

It's probably Mexican food. Burritos, hamburgers, whatever. You know, fast, easy. I'm a guy. I just. I like my food.

Right.

Then I don't really cook much at all, so.

And typical when you start gaining weight and you're eating like that, you start.

Getting tired, I would imagine exhausted, no energy. I just. I wasn't really feeling good about myself either.

Right.

So if I had, like, come to you and said, I have a plan for you, or a pill, you'd be like, whatever, I don't care. Probably just weren't into it.

No.

But then what happened? This is. I love this story because you were just at work one day and they. And something was sitting there for you.

Yeah. I was introduced to A new chocolate based product. And you know, I kind of heard a doctor talk about it. We had, we'd spoken to him with and I didn't really understand a lot of stuff he was saying, but I took it home, tried it and immediately fell in love with it. I noticed immediately having more energy, being able to make more time to do stuff that I wasn't usually doing. You know, not going home, laying on the couch, but going out and going on a walk, going down to the beach, doing whatever, more time for myself due to the fact that I have more energy.

So what I love about this is that a lot of people that gain weight and are feeling unmotivated and this they don't. You're already feeling unmotivated and not good about yourself. So like thought of putting together like the nutrition plan and the workout plan. It's like, I don't really want to. I can't eat this, I can't eat that. So the thought that you could like add something to your diet that doesn't take away, but it helps you make those changes, I thought that was a pretty cool story.

Yeah, I actually started making them in peanut butter banana smoothies. Every morning I substituted my breakfast for that. And I just love the taste, you know, it's almost like dessert. You know, sometimes I'd even take a second one at night after my dinner. That was my dessert. I loved it. And still to this day, I still do.

And so what was this? What product was this? It was like.

This is called Mito Endurance. It's a natural, raw, cacao based powder that you mix with smoothies or, you know, almond milk, whatever you really want. Cereal.

Awesome. I love it. I'm going to share more about this product or especially the ingredients in that product. But thank you for sharing your story because I wanted to show other people that there's not alone. There's lots of guys like Dave.

Right?

Thanks, Dave.

Thank you.

So Courtney, tell me about this product because not only did it help him with his energy and his whole motivation and I can't believe how much it changed him, but now I've learned that you can make these crazy yummy recipes that are gluten free, vegan, raw, raw.

They taste really, really good too. So it's a cacao based blend that's been premixed for you with Echinacea Trans Resveratrol, Alpha lipoic acid. All things that are really helpful to give you long sustainable energy, get your metabolism up, help you lose weight over time. All things that every parent mom tired Person, stressed out, person needs. Let me ask you this question, because.

This is one of my first questions. How is this different than just having raw cacao or having those things independently? Because. Absolutely.

Yeah. This has been perfectly formulated. Blend. So you're not getting too much. You're not getting too little. You're getting just the right amount for your body weight. And it's going to help you, over time, actually build your endurance, your metabolism. So it's not just a flash in the pan. You take it one day and it's good. You're going to be good for a long amount of time.

So just so I can make sure everybody understands somebody, technically, they could take independent parts of these ingredients. It would just be hard to get it all exactly right.

Absolutely.

For this combination. Yeah.

The echinacea, the resveratrol, the L carnitine, they all work together with the cacao. So. But to do that on your own would be almost impossible. There'd be powder flying everywhere. And this is a really fast, easy way to get it into your recipes and into your body without having to measure.

So, okay, now she's got this chocolate pudding recipe that I cannot even believe is this healthy.

But I know.

Show us how to make it.

I couldn't believe it either, but it really is. So we're gonna take two ripe avocados, and you want to make sure that they're ripe.

And who would have thought you're using.

Avocado in pudding to make a pudding. And you will never know. And the kids will never know either. And it's always a challenge for me to get the kids to eat vegetables. And when it tastes like chocolate and you have the mito endurance in there, it's great.

So you don't have to tell them there's anything healthy.

They just think it's pudding. They just want the pudding all the time. So tell me what you're doing here. You're sitting out how many avocados Are two ripe avocados.

Okay.

And putting them in my nutribullet, because the nutribullet is just as fast as.

Any other blender now you can use. So is there any. Does it matter what kind of blender you use? Can you just blend?

You could use a Vitamix. Yeah, Anything you've got, any blender you've got around, I'm going to dump in three quarters of a cup of coconut sugar.

Coconut sugar? No talk about coconut sugar. What do you know about that?

It's low glycemic. It's not going to give you that crazy spike like plain white sugar would. It's healthier, it's less processed. Processed, less refined. So I always like to keep things as healthy as I can for my kids. I do too. And then we're going to add just a dash of vanilla. I measure about maybe a quarter teaspoon, half a teaspoon and then.

The mido e I've got about.

So this looks like literally like chocolate.

And it smells so good, rich dark chocolate smell, about a half a cup there. And then we're gonna add in about a half a cup of water. You might want to add in more as once it gets blended you might need a little bit more. So we're going to put that all in the nutribullet.

About 30 seconds and you can give it a good shake. Make sure everything gets in there.

And this is it, this is like it's ready to go.

And then check out that chocolate decadent. Oh my God. So I'm gonna use my little spatula here and I just spoon it into little glasses, ramekin cups and you can refrigerate it for about an hour to get it nice and cool or you can just eat it as is. My kids usually, my kids are usually eating it right out of the container so.

Alright, here we go. Taste test.

Oh my God.

Okay, this is crazy. So you're telling me I can eat this and I'm going to get more.

Energy, you're going to grow, you're going to get more higher metabolism, you're going to lose weight, you're going to be feeling really good at the end of the day. This is a great pick me up at the end of the day. If you're going to do your workout later in the day after work, this is a great pre or post.
