The Health Shake

As promised I wanted to put up some information on the health shake that I take each morning using my super duper VitaMix blender (wayyy expensive but then again so is surgery/chemo and radiation treatment)

The general daily ingredients are (and you have to experiment with amounts of each till you get the taste/consistency that you like) :

  1. unsweetened soy milk
  2. Stevia natural sweetener
  3. Flax Oil
  4. blueberries (or any berries)
  5. banana (sometimes not every day)
  6. Alive Whole Food Energizer Ultra Powder
  7. Bee Pollen
  8. Raw wheat germ
  9. Fresh leftover veggies such as tomatoes/cucumber or carrots
  10. Spirulina/chorella powder (sometimes)
  11. Ice
This makes a nice bluish green milkshake - more buish if you add more blue fruits. It's very tasty and actually filling as well. Here is a review of the Alive Whole Food Energizer in tablet form by Mike Adams.

Note: Mike Adams does not like the Ultra Powder as much as the tablets because the Ultra Powder contains fructose sweetener. I will probably switch to a non sweetened soy protein powder for the shake and get some of the Alive tablets instead.
