Detox Super Smoothies

Day 6, Yippeee! We're great, and no longer feeling as though we need to count down the days. In terms of diet, this detox plan is something I could quite happily stay on for a very long time (with the occasional treat of course!)...but as for that hideous powdered mix that we're having twice a day, well I most certainly will not be missing that!

I thought today I might share with you some of my favorite smoothie blends, you can use these on a detox, a great quick breakfast, healthy desert, or just any old day at any old time! Most of these ingredients are available at Evelyn Faye Nutrition.

Raw Cacao Maca Smoothie

Ingredients: 1tbsp Raw cacao, 2tsp Maca powder (or to make it simple get some powersuperfoods Maca Smoothie Blend ), 2tsp Lucuma (or agave nectar if you prefer), 1 tbsp Chia seeds, 1tsp bee pollen, half a banana, coconut milk/water, and honey if you like it a little sweeter, and some ice if you like it a little colder....blend...and drink.

Blueberry Lecithin Smoothie

Ingredients: 1 cup fresh/frozen Blueberries, 1 cup Coconut or Almond milk, 2tsp Bee Pollen, 1tbsp Lecithin (great for the liver!), a tiny bit of vanilla bean, and 1tbsp Sun Warrior Sprouted Rice Protein (vanilla or natural)....blend....drink....yum!

Sun Warrior Sprouted Vegan Protein!

Made with 85% protein, Sun Warrior has the highest amount of non-soy, raw whole grain sprouted vegan protein available on the Australian market!

By using a 'third generation process' Sun Warrior have created what I think is the best tasting vegetable protein that I've ever tried. It has a silky smooth texture (unlike soy and other rice based protein powders) that blends really well into water, juice or soy/dairy/almond milk.

By using a process, which combines the sprouted endosperm with the bran from Raw Sprouted Whole Grain Brown Rice, produces a hypoallergenic protein containing 9 essential amino acids, and packed full of natural enzymes (due to the low temperature at which this process is carried out)....Sounding good hey! Well how about this then - Sun Warrior Protein has a 98% Correlation rate to Mothers Milk and a 98.2% digestion efficiency giving it one of the highest digestibility and efficiency ratings of any other protein source (even compared to whey!)

Naturally Rich in Vitamins and Minerals. Sun Warrior Protein contains high amounts of Antioxidants, Tocopherols, and Tocotrienols and other essential nutrients — such as thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, phosphorous, iron and potassium. There has also been a direct correlation between the use of Sun Warrior Protein and the absorption of vitamins.

Because Sun Warrior Protein is so easy to digest, it is safe for infants, elderly and hypersensitive people —there is actually talk of the 'World Health Organization' considering using Sun Warrior Protein to feed malnourished individuals because of the hypoallergenic profile and superior absorption that it has been shown to have. Furthermore, a current clinical trial has shown promising results in the use of Sun Warrior Protein aiding in absorption of vitamins is AIDS patients, where other proteins have not provided any synergistic effects. Impressed? I am!

Other clinical trials are being conducted into the use of Sun Warrior Protein and weight loss, diabetes, and potential cholesterol lowering effects.

Sun Warrior protein is made from 100% certified organic rice using only organic enzyme processing. Sun Warrior Protein is available in 1kg packs, in Vanilla, Chocolate and Natural flavors. Want more info? Come in and chat with us, or visit their website http://www.sunwarrior.com.au/
