Living Fuel & Health Ranger Ultimate Fast Food Recipes

 

Many fruit and vegetable juices work great with LivingFuel (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 LivingFuel. 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 LivingFuel. However, some young children, prefer to have the LivingFuel 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; but if you choose to strain out the chia seeds, it is even more important to supplement your diet with LivingFuel's companion product, Super Essentials Omega or Omega 3&E.

Basic Recipe

For a complete and balanced meal, the basic recipe is to mix one serving (two scoops) of LivingFuel with at least 16 ounces of purified or spring water.

Smoothies

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 LivingFuel lends itself more to fruit or vegetable juices.

 

Living Fuel For Boys

 

SUPERGREENS

LivingFuel Vegetable Smoothie

Mix 2–3 ounces of fresh vegetable juice (e.g., tomato juice) with SuperGreens 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 LivingFuel 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.

SuperBaby Formula

Start with a glass baby bottle with the silicone nipple hole cut slightly larger

Add 1 to 4 oz. of coconut milk or coconut milk powder

Add heated purified water and whisk with a fork to break up any clumps

Add cooler purified water to achieve desired consistency and temperature

Add 1/8 - 1/2 scoop of LivingFuel SuperBerry® or SuperGreens (if you like, you may blend it beforehand in a coffee grinder to blend down the chia seeds)

Stir with a fork and then shake

Serve with plenty of smiles and snuggles!

 

 

 

Living Fuel For Super Babies

 

SUPERBERRY ULTIMATE OR ORIGINAL

LivingFuel Fruit SuperSmoothie

Mix the shake as described above, particularly SuperBerry® 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).

Children's Berry Blast

Most kids prefer SuperBerry®, 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 LivingFuel shake.

NON-DRINK RECIPES

LivingFuel Avocado Supreme

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.

LivingFuel Nut Butter (Also Good as an Athletic Food)

This is a snack and an athletic fuel. Mix two scoops of SuperGreens, one scoop of SuperBerry® and spring water into an oatmeal-like consistency.

COCOCHIA® SNACK MIX

CocoChia is wonderful in fruit smoothies, sprinkled on fruit salads, mixed into yogurt or oatmeal and mixed with almond butter and LivingFuel . . . 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.
