SMOOTHIE RECIPES
Angel’s Smoothie
- 1/2 cup frozen organic blueberries
- 3/4 cup frozen organic spinach (or other green: chard, kale-we find that chard or kale need to be steamed before being put in, raw is too hard to digest)
- 1/2 cup of each or any of the following (organic strawberries, organic raspberries, mango or papaya)
- 1/8 cup ground flaxseed
- 1/8 cup almond meal or almond butter (other nut butters work too)
- 1 banana and/or 1 ripe avocado
- 7 oz (1/2 a package) silken tofu
- 1/2 cup plain unsweetened soy yogurt (dairy yogurt works too)
Fill the rest of the blender with unsweetened soy milk (dairy, rice, almond etc.. milk works too) up to the liquid fill line.
Blend until fully combined. Serves 4.
Thank you Angel Jackson

- Fill the blender about 1/3 full with spinach (unpacked)
- Add about 8 ice cubes
- Add about 1 cup of fruit juice (any kind, OJ or blueberry-pomegranate are our favorites)

4 Servings |
| 3 cups milk, soy, or rice milk | 1 banana |
| 1½ cups yogurt (plain nonfat yogurt recommended) | 1 cup frozen blueberries |
| ½ cup each of your favorite fruit, frozen e.g., strawberries, papaya, mango, pineapple) |
| 4 oz. tofu | honey, cinnamon, to taste |
| 2 tbsp. peanut butter | ½ avocado |
1-2 servings Juice Plus Complete
(Choc or Vanilla) or similar multinutrient supplement | 2 tbsp. flax oil (or ½ cup flax seed meal) |
|
Combine all ingredients and blend until smooth. Serve immediately after blending while
the mixture still has a bubbly milkshake-like consistency.
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 |
| ½ 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. |
