BREAKFAST SUPER SHAKE


                                                                                                                                               Apr 19th, 2024


These are the components of the breakfast super food shake that I have eaten most every day for over 25 years. It took me a lot of research to find each of these ingredients that have amazing health benefits!


Recipe and ingredients


I use an 8 cup Vitamix blender that allows me to make 2 servings at once.


I put these ingredients in the blender in this order. If you have a smaller blender, cut the recipe in half.

* Pour in a "heaping" cup full of both Flax and Almond milk
* One large banana
* 1.5 scoups of Chia Seeds
* 1 scoup of cinnamon
* 1 scoup of Delicious Red Superfood
* 1 scoup of MCT Wellness polyphenols
* 1 scoup of Glutamine Complex
* 1 scoup of Sacred 7 mushroom extract
* 1 scoup of Reishi mushroom powder
* 3 scoups of organic protein powder
* 2 table spoons of yogart, optional
* 1 overflowing cup of organic frozen blueberries
* 1 overflowing cup of organic frozen strawberries
* 1 cup of water
* 2 heaping tablespoons of organic cocoa nibs

I make 8 at a time and freeze 7 for the following days.

This is how I make the shake. This recipe will make two shakes. I typically make a weeks worth and freeze them.

The health benefits of bananas are many.

These milks are so much better than cows milk.
We buy both of these at Sprouts or Whole Foods.
