There's always that tiny voice in my head telling me that my little family is just not nutritious enough when it comes to the food we eat. It is the voice of my ancestors, or at least that of my mom and both of my grandmothers. So once a day, I cram every good thing I can think of into a liquid meal, and hope it will convince us to crave good, growing things for the remaining meals of the day. It usually works.
3 tbs flaxseed or 1/4 cup raw almonds (good fats, fiber)
1 tsp real vanilla extract
2 cups frozen or fresh fruit (antioxidants, fiber)
plain European-style yogurt (twice the protein of regular)
enough organic unsweetened soy milk to liquify it
a few drops of agave syrup if needs sweetening
