This is the shake I have at least 5 to 6 times a week. I started out years ago with much fewer ingredients and have gradually added to it.
I encourage you to adapt it to your own preference, that way you will be more likely to use it as a source of good nutrition.
1 scoop of healthy protein powder, preferably plant based with no sugar added. Also, a good shake will usually contain at least 20 grams of protein. It will also contain vitamins, minerals and fiber. It is even better if it contains omega 3 fatty acids, antioxidants, probiotics and even greens.
If not, many of these things you can add to the shake.
½ – ¾ cup of coconut milk (unsweetened) or as desired.
½ -¾ cup of good water or as desired.
Green Maca Powder 1 – 2 tsp. M-W-F
Red Maca Powder 1 – 2 tsp. Tu-Th-Sat
Matcha Green Tea Powder 1 tsp. M-W-F
Greens Powder 1 tsp. Tu-TH-Sat., 2 tsp. if you are not also
adding fresh or frozen greens.
Beet Root Powder 1 tsp. M-W-F.
Collagen Powder 1 tsp. M-W-F., 2 tsp. if not using bone broth
Bone Broth Powder 1 – 2 tsp. Tu-Th-Sat.
Flax Seed 1 Tbl. M-W-F
Chia Seed 1 Tbl. Tu.-Th.-Sat.
Hemp Hearts 1 tsp. Tu-Th-Sat.
Cacao Powder ½ tsp. Tu-Th-Sat (it is very bitter).
Turmeric to taste M-W-F (powerful anti inflammatory and am antioxidant)
Cinnamon to taste Tu-Th-Sat. (is an anti inflammatory).
Ginger (small piece) to taste. M-W-F good for digestion & nausea
Large handful of greens – alternate arugula, spinach, kale or any greens.
I alternate berries (not fruit) daily – blueberries, strawberries, pomegranate, cherries, etc.
Sometimes I add a drop of stevia liquid, especially when I add cacao powder. ENJOY
Hi Margie, thank you for your help with getting me started on my daily shake routine.
It is slow going but it is work in progress.
I do find the shake very filling and effects my daily eating pattern. I am sure I will
adjust to this new routine.
Thanks again.

Happy to help. Just take it slow and let your body get used to it. There is a lot of nutrition in this shake that your body is not yet used to.
Keep me updated.
