My current Paleo Smoothie recipe- excerpt from "Paleo Quick Start"

The Paleo Smoothie
This is really a lynch pin of this book!  The Paleo Smoothie is not only incredibly convenient, it is also very tasty, filling, and fast and easy!
This one piece of information is worth more than the cost of this book.
If you do only one “Paleo” idea, this will give you such a jump-start, that you won’t even recognize yourself after a few months.  This is also a great time saver- use it as a total breakfast, lunch, or both!  
After you drink a Paleo Smoothie, you will be so satisfied, both hunger-wise and nutrient-wise, that the rest of the day’s eating will be...
optional!  
Here is a Paleo Smoothie, just before blending:
Doesn’t that look yummy?
It truly is!
And the nutrients are “off the charts” for what your body needs!!

Quick Paleo Smoothie ingredients list:
My current recipe- variations are not only possible, but encouraged!  But the base outlined here is very representative of a transformative replacement meal/ultimate real food supplement in one tasty drink!
Coconut Milk- 1 can
Carlson’s or Nordic Naturals Cod liver oil- 1 Tablespoon
Powdered kelp- 1 teaspoon
Unsweetened almond milk- 1/4 cup
Unsweetened kefir- 1/4 cup
Organic, unsweetened lemon juice- 1 teaspoon
Apple cider vinegar- 1 teaspoon
1-2 cups of green tea
Frozen spinach- approximately 1 cup
Frozen mixed “California Mix” vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots), ~1 cup
Frozen mixed berries- blueberries, raspberries, strawberries- 1 cup
1/2 banana (I freeze mine so they don’t over-ripen)
1 peeled orange
  • That’s it!  You can also “mix and match” with fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables you have on hand- cranberries are a favorite of mine, as is liquid vitamin D in the Winter months!
I also recommend here that you buy a Vitamix brand high speed blender!  This appliance will liquify pretty much whatever you throw into it, and will last virtually forever!
New or used- get yourself a Vitamix as soon as possible-
You can eat paleo without it, but it’s a LOT harder!

How to do the Juice Drink Stragegy... WITHOUT the juice drink!


Lots of folks tell me

"Jay, I'd love to try The Juice Drink Strategy to garner the weight loss and health benefits, but I just don't want to spend money to buy a Vitamix blender, darn you!"

I sympathize- It's hard to invest in something, when you don't know absolutely that your results will pay off!

Let me tell you now: they will! In a big way!! You would pay thousands of dollars if you could experience, beforehand, just how you would feel and look after following the prescriptions outlined in The Juice Drink Strategy!

But, there is a way to "preview" the advantages, without spending a cent!

Firstly, just cut out all carbohydrates from flour products: (chips, bread, snack foods, etc.)

Next, resolve to eat a Barbarian Diet:

Lean meats and seafood in unlimited amounts

Fruits and vegetables in unlimited amounts

Dairy products and eggs and nuts (excluding cashews and peanuts!) in reasonable amounts...
Actually, probably more than you currently eat! (3 or more eggs per day is not unreasonable).

Check out this excellent blogsite for great recipes:

http://mypaleokitchen.blogspot.com

If you follow these instructions, you will gain about 60-70% of the benefits derived from following The Juice Drink Strategy to the letter! And, that is way better than what you are probably achieving with the average Western diet...

The downsides will be only that it is far less convenient, more work, and of course the results will be somewhat less...


But still, it is a great starting place!!

Follow the Barbarian diet, without the Vitamix for a while!

The results will speak for themselves. And the results will convince you!!

Also,
in postscript, I hasten to add that you should NOT neglect the exercise portion of The Juice Drink Strategy!

Go to www. transformetrics.com/exercises

These are the basic DVR, or Dynamic Visualized Resistance exercises that you should begin doing on a daily (or near-daily) basis!

There is your "free" preview of the results you will achieve when following The Juice Drink Strategy.
