The name says it all! This shake is simply
the most satisfying, energizing and uplifting glass of goodness you could ever
put in your body (I believe). The ingredients will keep you focused and content
until lunchtime, and your sweet and fatty cravings will soon disappear after a
few weeks of gulping down these babies! If you suffer from “brain fog” some
mornings, you may well find the cloud “lifting” to oblivion in no time. I hope this recipe works wonders for you like
it most definitely has for me. It’s my go-to shake when I wake up hungry, when
I know I have a massive day in store, or I feel I need to catch up on some
nourishment. It’s the equivalent of giving myself a big old pat on the back
when I whip up one of these in the morning!

Ultimate
Hero Shake!
Serves 2
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Fat & Calories: Who cares when you’re
eating fantastically healthy! Come on!
Ingredients:
1 cup of homemade Coconut Yoghurt Kefir (or
1 tablespoon of Coconut Cream*)
3 cups of Almond Milk (organic and
activated is ideal)
1 Banana (pre-frozen is even better!)
1 tablespoon of Raw Honey
Sprinkle of Cinnamon*
Teaspoon of ground Ginger*
Teaspoon of ground Turmeric*
Sprinkle of ground Cayenne* (optional)
Sprinkle of freshly ground Black Pepper* (optional)
1 tablespoon powdered Cacao*
1 tablespoon of powdered Maca*
2 teaspoons of Fermented Green Powder* (Grainfields
fermented Super Green & Dunaliella Powder*)
1/4 teaspoon of organic 100% Stevia Powder*
(or less depending on your taste)
6 cubes of Ice
Cold Filtered Water to make up 1.5 litres
in the Blender Jug.
Method:
In the order of the ingredients list, add
everything to your Blender. Serve in
tall glasses. Easy!
Notes:
1.
If you can source fresh
(organic) ginger and turmeric and juice it, you will be creating the ULTIMATE
“Ultimate Hero Shake”. Just add the juice to the blender with the other
ingredients and you have made yourself a powerhouse of additional nutrients and
natural enzymes that are great for the tum-tum.
2.
The stars in this recipe are
quite strong for those who do not consume them regularly. Perhaps halve the
spices, and the cacao, maca and green powder to begin with and then gradually
increase the quantities as your body becomes accustomed to that fantastic array
of nourishment.
3.
Why on earth is Black Pepper
listed in the Ingredients list? Because I’m crazy! No really… because I CARE
about you! When using Turmeric, you should always include a small amount of
Black Pepper to increase the bio-availability of the Turmeric (by up to 1000
times!). Turmeric has amazing anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties,
however it is useless if your body cannot absorb any of it! So please add some
Black Pepper on my behalf.
