Raspberry Breakfast Shake

This is my new breakfast  – has been since beginning of 2014. Inspired by Janet Jack’s new book, Discover the Power of Food. I’ve made my own modifications:

• 1 Tbs chia seeds
• 1 Tbs hemp hearts
• 1 Tbs large flake oats
• ½ cup almond milk, unsweetened

Start by soaking the seeds and oats the night before. It makes it really creamy, and is easier to digest.

• 2-3 tsp psyllium husk
• 1 Tbs Mineral Matrix
• ¼-½ tsp Matcha (powdered green tea)
• ¼-½ tsp pro-biotic (powdered form)
• 1 scoop protein powder (20-30g)
• 1 Tbs cold-pressed oil (UDOs oil or flavoured fish oil)
• ½ cup frozen raspberries (higher protein & fiber, lower sugar)
• ½ cup water

Puree in a blender or emulsifier. Add 1 drop Vitamin D, or as prescribed.

I take my shake to work in a container, followed by two rounds of 500mL of water to ensure I’ve gotten all the goodness. It looks a bit like pond water but tastes fine. It comes in at just under 500 calories [full nutritional details available] and should keep you full all morning. I combine this with my favourite lunch of chicken and veg, and a snack of mixed nuts:

• 2 brazil nuts (for the Selenium)
• 1 pinch of  raw cocoa nibs
• raw almonds
• raw cashews
• Total 1/3 cup combined in that order
