Wholesome and complete nutritional solutions
Many fruit and vegetable juices work great with Living Fuel Rx (fresh juiced or squeezed organic is best). Citrus or tomato juice seems to be most people's favorite, and lemon juice and lemonade sweetened with low-glycemic natural sweeteners are some of the healthiest choices. Be careful how much sugar you add to your shake through the various juice and fruit options, as sugar is unhealthy and should be reduced or eliminated over time.
Be creative by adding additional healthy ingredients to your serving of Living Fuel Rx. Remember, some of the best things in life are acquired tastes. Discover what works for you and your family by trying various juices, fruits, and almond, rice, or oat beverages.
Most people enjoy chia seeds—the incredibly nutritious tiny whole seeds found in Living Fuel Rx. However, some young children, prefer to have the Living Fuel Rx powder put into a coffee bean grinder to grind up the seeds before mixing a shake or even to have their shakes poured through a strainer to remove the seeds. It is nutritionally best to leave the seeds in; if you choose to strain out the chia seeds, it is even more important to supplement your diet with Living Fuel Rx's companion product, Omega 3 & E.
For a complete and balanced meal, the basic recipe is to mix one serving (two scoops) of Living Fuel Rx with at least 16 ounces of water or lemon water.
Use a high-speed blender for maximum smoothness. Hand mixers or shakers also work well if you are not adding fruit. Some people like using almond, rice, or oat beverages in their shakes; however, most believe that Living Fuel Rx lends itself more to fruit or vegetable juices.
SUPER GREENS
- Living Fuel Vegetable Smoothie
Mix 2–3 ounces of fresh vegetable juice (e.g., tomato juice) with Super Greens and water to desired thickness.
- Living Fuel Pick-Me-Up (for when you’re not feeling well)
Mix 2–3 ounces of your favorite vegetable or fruit juice with two scoops of Living Fuel Rx plus water in a high-speed blender. Add one to three cloves of fresh garlic or hot peppers plus 1–2 tablespoons of coconut oil and add lemon to smooth the taste. The coconut and lemon tend to hide the garlic.
SUPER BERRY
- Living Fuel Rx Fruit Smoothie
Mix the shake as described above particularly Super Berry in the basic recipe and then add some fresh or frozen berries and/or a third to a half of a banana and a small amount of crushed ice. Blend the ingredients into your drink (try not to make it too cold, as very cold drinks compromise digestion).
Most kids prefer Super Berry, but either flavor works. For a delicious treat add a splash of orange juice, a splash of apple juice, a splash of almond or rice beverage, and perhaps a few berries to the Living Fuel Rx shake.
NON-DRINK RECIPES
- Living Fuel Avocado Supreme
Mix one scoop of Living Fuel Rx with one large ripe avocado, one whole tomato, one-half chopped onion, one tablespoon olive oil, juice from one whole lemon, plus pepper, salt, Tabasco, and other seasonings to taste. Mash the avocado and mix in the above ingredients. Chill and serve with almond crackers or other healthy equivalents, or eat it alone as a complete and balanced meal or snack.
- Living Fuel Fuel Nut Butter (Also Good as an Athletic Food)
This is a snack and an athletic fuel. Mix two scoops of Super Greens, one scoop of Super Berry and spring water into an oatmeal-like consistency. Mix in a full container of raw, organic almond butter (16 oz.) and 6-12 teaspoons of extra virgin coconut oil. Add four scoops (151 grams) of our CocoChia snack mix and store in refrigerator. Eat with a spoon or use as a healthy spread.
SOUPS
Mix Living Fuel Rx into cold or warm soups (do no use hot soups as heat degrades probiotics and enzymes).
COCOCHIA
CocoChia is wonderful in fruit smoothies, sprinkled on fruit salads, mixed with almond butter and LivingFuel Rx . . . we have even used it in baking!
CocoChia makes an excellent pie shell when 4 tablespoons are mixed together with the equivalent amount of coconut oil or ghee. Note: Because chia seeds absorb up to seven times their weight in liquid, please use plenty of liquid when preparing recipes.
