| Nutritional Smoothies and Other Drinks |
| These blender drinks are very helpful for healing. They are easy to digest, their nutrients are immediately absorbable, and they are easy to make. They need to be made fresh daily and can be consumed for breakfast or throughout the day between meals. If you let them sit too long they may get thick, viscous, and mucilaginous because of the glycosaminoglycans and lignans present in the flaxseeds. If this happens, just add water, soy milk, aloe juice, or more fruit or vegetable juice. |
| The health benefits of these shakes are legion. Most important, they possess broad-spectrum, easily absorbable nutrition and can thus serve as superior options to the sugar-laden weight-gain drinks usually prescribed for cancer patients. |
| People who regularly drink these shakes for a month or two begin to show improvement in their health. Overall, there is an increase in energy, improved blood work, and high-quality weight gain (muscle-tissue growth). These foods feed and promote the health of the body, not the cancer. |
| Note: I suggest goat's milk yogurt instead of cow's milk; if it's unavailable, use organic yogurt. If you are allergic to milk products, use soy yogurt. Another option is amasaki, a thick, sweet, milklike drink made with koji rice that is easily digested. Instead of yogurt, fresh goat's milk, coconut milk, or creamed coconut (sugar-free) may be used. |
| Any fat-soluble supplements that you are taking, such as CoQ10, Beta-Plex, or vitamin E, can be added directly to this shake. The fatty acids in the shake will enhance the absorption of these nutrients. |
| Morning Smoothie |
| 4 ounces maple or vanilla goat yogurt (optional dairy-free alternatives are sesame, almond, or soy milk) |
| 1 tablespoon SuproProtein 95
1 tablespoon chlorella (or Greens Plus)
1 level tablespoon flaxseeds, freshly ground | 1 tablespoon flaxseed oil (or 1 teaspoon Eskimo Oil)
| ½ cup fresh or frozen fruit of choice Crushed ice
| Mix all ingredients in blender. Blend on high speed for 2 minutes. |
| Some good fruit additions: blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, papaya, mango, or orange (use one whole orange, quartered, and leave the peel on). |
