First, lets start with the basic foundation of the Superman Shakes:
- (Soy) Milk - you want some kind of liquid to hold all the good stuff together and why not make it something tastier and more nutritious than plain old water?
- Protein Mix - I prefer Trader Joe's quick-dissolving vanilla protein mix with zero sugar and zero artificial sweeteners.
- Ground Flax Seed - there is no better way to get low-glycemic carbs, high fiber, tastiness, and omega-3 fatty acids than with ground up flax seeds.
- D-Ribose - this is a little known supplement that you can get on the cheap at Vitacost.com that will give you energy, boost recovery, and help your heart become stronger. I recommend the powdered variety.
Now that you have the basics, here are some of the other ingredients that will help you with your specific needs while adding some flavor and texture variety:
- Royal Jelly in Honey - this adds a little natural sweetness and gives you all the cellular growth boosting effects of royal jelly. A little goes a long way, so don't overdo it on this treat.
- Stevia-Sweetened Yogurt - I recommend the Fresh & Easy kind because it only has 100 calories per cup and tastes damn good. This will add lots of great bacteria and a creamy smooth texture. Avoid the stuff with artificial sweetners.
- Amazing Grass Superfood Powder - this gives you all your green superfoods and other minerals in a convenient and tasty scoop. I recommend the goji and acai berry version.
