Dr. Hyman's Whole-Food Protein Shake
This shake will power you through the hardest and longest of days. It is 100% whole, fresh, real food, with a spotlight on healthy fats and Potent antioxidants from the blueberries.
1/2 cup frozen wild blueberries
1/2 cup frozen cranberries
1/4 lemon with rind (optional)
1 tablespoon almond butter
1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds (see note)
1 tablespoon chia seeds (see note)
1 tablespoon hemp seeds (see note)
2 raw walnuts (see note)
2 raw Brazil nuts (see note)
1/4 avocado
1/2 tablespoon extra-virgin coconut butter
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/2 cup water
Combine all of the ingredients in a blender. Blend on high speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. If the shake is too thick, add more water until you reach a thick but drinkable consistency.
Note: To activate the enzymes in the seeds and nuts for easier digestion, you can soak them ahead of time. Fill a bowl with enough water to cover the seeds or nuts and soak for at least 30 minutes, preferably overnight if time permits.
