4 Servings

3 cups milk, soy, or rice milk

1 banana

1� cups yogurt (plain nonfat yogurt recommended)

1 cup frozen blueberries

� cup each of your favorite fruit, frozen e.g., strawberries, papaya, mango, pineapple)

4 oz. tofu

honey, cinnamon, to taste

2 tbsp. peanut butter

� avocado

1-2 servings Juice Plus Complete

We formulated this recipe based on the principle of "synergy." The nutrients consumed together enhance each other's benefits, so the whole nutritional effect is greater than the sum of its parts. I have prescribed this recipe for several hundred school-children and their parents, and we drink it ourselves four to five mornings a week. It's a powerful performance booster for working parents and school-children.

Because fiber steadies the absorption of carbohydrates and therefore contributes to a steadier blood sugar, we suggest using rich sources of fiber, such as flaxseed meal (i.e. ground flax seeds, containing both the oil and fiber), although flax oil has a more palatable consistency than flaxseed meal. For additional fiber, if you don't mind a grainier texture, add 1 tbsp. or more of oat bran.

This family-size recipe makes four 16-ounce servings (approximately 550 calories per serving). Adjust the recipe to the desired taste and volume. Besides being tasty, it's nutritionally balanced, with each serving containing approximately 25 to 30 grams of protein, 55 to 60 grams of carbohydrates, 8 to 16 grams of fat (mostly healthy omega 3's), and 5 to 10 grams of fiber. Enjoy!

School-Ade Quick: 1 - 20 oz Serving

2 cups milk, soy, or rice milk

200 mg capsule of DHA oil

1 cup yogurt

1 small frozen banana, cut up

� cup each of your favorite fruit, frozen e.g., strawberries, papaya, mango, pineapple)

honey, cinnamon to taste

1-2 servings Juice Plus Complete
(Choc or Vanilla) or similar multinutrient supplement

2 tsp flax seed oil

ice cubes if fruit is not frozen or if you want a lighter taste

Hint - add or subtract any ingredients your kids may or may not like, eg, use 100% fruit juice instead of milk

Hint - some kids may prefer a "less frozen icy" consistency, and a more smooth, liquid consistency. Try using non-frozen fruit and berries, no ice, and a little extra milk.
