Dr Jockers Comments:
Liquid nutrition is a PERFECT way to start your day. It is highly bioavailable and easy for the body to fully assimilate the nutrients. It is also minimally stressful on the digestive system. This is very important for helping the gut lining heal, the pancreas to replenish digestive enzyme stores and the liver and gallbladder to relax.
This is a super easy and fun shake to make. Most kids love this as long as they don’t see you put the spinach in it! I have a lot of clients that make this before their children wake up and put in the refrigerator and give it to them for breakfast. This way they don’t see the spinach, the shake doesn’t taste like spinach – but their bodies digest and assimilate it well!
I personally like to add in turmeric in almost anything I can due to its high-powered antioxidant curcuminoids. A dash of black pepper enhances the absorption of the curcuminoids. Adding in a dash of pink salt will improve the flavor of the recipe and blunt any unwanted stevia aftertaste.
Choose the protein powder you enjoy most that is best suited for your body. I love bone broth protein for its ability to provide amino acids that support the gut, skin, joints, bones and immune system. However, some individuals will want a vegan based protein powder. In this case, I recommend a combination of rice and pea protein in a supercharged formula such as Gut Healing Protein.
That brand contains carrageenan which can be very toxic to some people.
