Hempmilk Shakes at Boloco, Please?

Almost everyday someone asks "What can I do to help the cause?" Chances are you are Activating without realizing it.

Sometimes a little act can go a long way and turn into something bigger than you ever imagined.

Boloco hasn't committed to Hemp Milk Shakes just yet, but I wanted to take this opportunity to show you how small you are will not dictate how big of a difference you can make in your world!

Yesterday was hot and I wanted something yummy and cold. Boloco makes their own Smoothies and it was close enough to walk through this dreadful heatwave.


I wanted something creamy, so I made my non-dairy choice the Soy Berry Shake. It's a blend of Blueberries, Strawberries, Banana, Soy Milk, and Honey.. Super yummy and it totally hit the spot, but I want something more nutritious than Soy. Would Boloco consider using Hemp Milk in their Smoothie Recipes?



While I sipped the fruity deliciousness, I typed in their online suggestion box..

Hi Boloco!

I have a small suggestion.. I walked into your store today and saw on your smoothie menu.. Dairy, Dairy, Dairy.. Soy Milk..

I am ok with Soy Milk, but I know others might actually be allergic. I was wondering if you would consider Hemp Milk. Please? I like Tempt Hemp Milk. It's super smooth. You may have another brand in mind, but Hemp has no known allergens and it is super healthy! Pretty please!?

To my suprise, I received an email from the Executive Chef at Boloco, Jason Hutchinson, this morning saying..

Niki,

Thanks for writing in about the suggestion of using hemp milk in our shakes and smoothies. I must say it is the first request of it's kind. I am going to add your request to our food exploration list I keep which has all kinds of requests from customers. I am also going to research Tempt Hemp Milk as I know nothing about it and get some to try.

Thanks again for writing in and making the suggestion.

Jason will be very happy to find from his research on LivingHarvest.com

"As an agricultural crop, hemp is a plant-based superfood. It offers an exceptional alternative to dairy, nuts and soy. It’s vegan and gluten-free. Hemp is sustainable, non-GMO and grown without herbicides or pesticides, with no known allergens. It is nothing to be afraid of. It’s not marijuana and has no drug value. In fact, it contains 0.00% THC."
