Specialty Energy Cocktails

    Morning Jumpstart

This delicious cocktail is not only energizing, but extremely nutritious, antioxidant-rich, high in omegas, aminos, minerals, and phytonutrients, and a great source of chlorophyll.  It even assists in your body’s daily cleansing needs!  This cocktail is best consumed in the morning on an empty stomach, aiding in absorption and cleansing.  However, it can be drunk later on if desired and even a 2^nd time during the day.  This is my multivitamin/mineral/antioxidant drink that I have every morning for the past 10 years!

• 12-14 ounces distilled water1 scoop GreenSuper Food blend of choice (ex: Vibrant Greens, Caties Greens, Amazing Grass SuperFoods, Vitamineral Greens)

• ½ scoop “Amazing Grass Kidz SuperFoods”, optional (gives a chocolaty taste)

• 1 tsp “Ancient Sun Crystal Mana” (wild blue-green algae) 1 tsp Matcha Green Tea powder (available online, such as “Tribute Tea”, and in various health stores)

• ½-1 Tbsp Maca Powder

• 2 tsp raw, coldpressed, organic Flaxseed or Fish oil (Barleans, Health From the Sun, Nordic Naturals)

• 8-12 drops Liquid Stevia, depending on desired sweetness

• ½ tsp dried cinnamon or a full dropper-full of cinnamon extract, optional

• Couple dashes of vanilla extract, optional

1. Pour the ingredients into a 16 or more ounce container, beginning with the water first. 

2. Shake the mixture vigorously for 10-20 seconds.  Drink up!

*Option: If the greens are a little strong for your taste, try using ½ apple juice and ½ water, or making a smoothie/shake

**The Cinnamon and vanilla are not essential to your green drink; however, they add an amazing pizzazz of flavor to the greens.  Tastes like vanilla chai!  Yummy!!

Afternoon Lift

This uplifting cocktail was created as an answer to that afternoon lull that many people experience.  Not only is Matcha Tea energizing, but it creates mental clarity, focus, and brain stimulation.  It is no wonder the Japanese call it the “Ceremonial Tea”.  It also keeps your metabolism going at a natural rate, keeping your appetite satisfied and preventing the munchies.  Matcha is jitter-free, unlike coffee, and stabilizes energy so that it wont crash.

• 1 cup coconut water, distilled water, rice milk or almond milk
• ½-1 tsp Matcha Green Tea powder (available online, such as “Tribute Tea”, and in various health stores)

• ½ cup frozen mango chunks
• 1/3 cup frozen blueberries
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 5 drops liquid Stevia or 1-2 Tbsp raw Agave nectar
