Super Antioxidant Drink

I have created one of THE healthiest and tastiest smoothie ever!  It gives you energy, literally, I'm talking a buzz of happiness minus the cannabis of course.  It contains goji berries which are incredibly healthy and healing as well as MSM which is sulphur that our body needs to maintain our immune system and maca root powder which is a superfood.

Read here about goji berries, here about MSM and  about maca root powder here.  This is a beauty drink because of the enormous amounts of antioxidants in it and the MSM promotes the production of collagen, which we women in our 40's and beyond NEED!  You will notice over a short period of time softer skin, less wrinkles, harder nails and thicker hair. The MSM will even help with skin hyperpigmentation (melasma).  Add all that to the burst of energy and great mood you'll be in after consuming it, you'll want to drink this concoction twice a day or more!!

Here's my secret recipe:

2 Bananas
1 to 1 1/2 Cups of frozen or fresh blueberries
1 Cup White Tea (using filtered water)
2 Rounded Tablespoons of ****Goji berries (*see below)
2 Tablespoons of **Flax Seed (*see below)
Up to 1 Tbs. (depending on your needs) of  Organic Maca Root powder.
1/4 Tsp.*** MSM powder (pure, no MSM "mixes" )

Place all of the ingredients in a blender.  I highly recommend the NINJA (I love this thing). Pulsate several times until you get a smooth blend.  Pour, and drink.

*You will need a decent coffee grinder to grind up the goji berries and flax seeds.  The rounded tablespoons of goji berries will be the amount prior to grinding as well as the amount of flax seeds prior to grinding.

**Please be advised that if you have herpes simplex 1 or 2 omit the flax seeds, as they contain high amounts of arginine and according to reports can trigger an outbreak.

***Start out with just 1/4 tsp of MSM to start and then week two build up to 1/2 tsp and keep building up thereafter if you are using the MSM for therapeutic reasons i.e., joint pain, melasma, etc.  If not, continue to just use 1/4 tsp. Side effects are rare as bloating, intestinal gas and loose stools may occur.  Work up to the dosage that your comfortable with and if you detox too quickly lower dosage.

****If you are just starting to use goji berries start out with just 10 or 20 berries and work your way up to 100.  These berries are potent and can give you a "rush" or "high" so to speak, so start out small and go up from there (the 2 rounded TBS as indicated in recipe)

Additional Info:
Maca Root Powder is known to boost libido in both men and women and increase bust size and "booty" size in women because it balances hormones.  The latter has been proven via posts made by actual women throughout the web regarding their experiences.

Yummy and good for your looks and body!
