Getting Started With the UltraSmoothie The UltraSmoothie is a complete meal formula I patented while practicing in Oregon. It is based on Ayurvedic Medicine and uses food as a vehicle for the medicinal blend of ingredients. Although you can take UltraSmoothie any time of day, starting with an UltraSmoothie is a great way to jump-start your day. It provides you with protein, essential fatty acids, fiber, and a complete assortment of vitamins, minerals, nutrients and botanicals. It can simply be mixed with water, or you can make a smoothie using other ingredient combinations to add extra nutrition and flavor. The following recipes have been chosen as being extra tasty. Note: These smoothie recipes work best when blended in a high- speed blender.

Superfoods and Your UltraSmoothie: "Superfoods" are foods that are rich in phytonutrients. Some are antioxidants, while others contain healthy fats, phytochemicals, or fiber. Blueberries, dark green, leafy vegetables like spinach or kale, and kiwis are among some of the more readily available examples. In addition to using common ingredients like fruits and vegetables or almond butter and flaxseed, Superfood also include exotic superfoods: Maca, lucuma, goji berries, cacao nibs, and sea buckthorn are a few. Some ingredients, like goji berries, should be used with caution many are contraindicated during pregnancy and some interfere with medications. Please consult with me before embarking on any superfood substitutions/additions. Below are some fun, creative ones to try. The best of the recipes are intriguing, unusual, and deeply satisfying.
Cinnamon: One challenge of the perfect smoothie is achieving the right sweetness, without overloading on sugar. Enter cinnamon -- it adds a layer of sweetness, with no calories at all. Plus, studies show that cinnamon may be helpful at managing your cholesterol and blood sugar levels. Fresh Herbs: For a taste of summer, toss in some fresh herbs from your garden -- after all, what says "summertime" better than a strawberry-basil smoothie? Or, how about a mint-lime-raspberry concoction? Other herbs to consider: lemongrass, lavender, and cilantro. Fresh herbs contain antioxidants and are very low in calories, to boot. Avocado: It's hard to beat the creamy texture of an avocado. Plus, it adds a dose of healthy fats, fiber, and potassium. Avocado is commonly added to ice cream; why not make your smoothie an ice cream treat? White Beans: An unusual smoothie ingredient, to be sure, but beans are arguably one of the most nutritious foods out there. Many Americans rarely eat them, which is a shame, since beans are the only food that counts as both a vegetable and a meat substitute because of their diverse nutrients. They'll add fiber, protein, iron, and potassium to your smoothie. White beans are easiest to "hide" in a light-colored smoothie, while darker beans work best in dark drinks.
