Health, Energy, Life!

During the summer of 2011, I made a change in my diet. I was eating processed foods, meat, and dairy on a daily basis. I now consume approximately 60% raw vegan foods, 30% cooked vegetarian foods, and 10% meat. Give or take. I have energy throughout the day from 4am to 9pm everyday. This, despite the fact that I don't drink coffee and work out 5-6 days a week. Oh, and my lifelong seasonal allergies are now gone. These are recipes I use to maintain my awesome diet.

Smoothie

This is a smoothie recipe that I make everyday for breakfast. It is not a Thrive Diet recipe. It contains ingredients that are not part of the Thrive Diet. But this is something I have incorporated into my diet on a daily basis and it works for me. As with any smoothie, the recipe does not have to be followed exactly. Add, omit, or exchange as you see fit!

1 cup almond milk
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup strawberries
1/2 cup blueberries
1/4 cup nonfat greek yogurt

1 Tbsp chia seeds
1 Tbsp maca
1 Tbsp cacao nibs
1 Tbsp ground flaxseed
1 Tbsp wheat germ
1 Tbsp protein powder (hemp or rice protein)
1 Tbsp hemp oil
1 Tbsp raw honey or agave nectar
1 Tbsp bee pollen
1 Tbsp spirulina powder
4 ice cubes

Blend and enjoy this powerhouse of nutrients and antioxidants!
