2 ice cubes

1 banana

2 tablespoons of low-fat yogurt

1/2 cup frozen or fresh blueberries

2 heaping tablespoons of ground flaxseed [6]

1-2 tablespoons of flaxseed oil (start with 1 and after a week or so go to 2 – we use Barlean’s)

2 tablespoons of whey or soy protein

1 teaspoon of Norwegian cod liver oil Lemon Flavored (we use Carlson)

1 cup of orange juice

Instructions:

Combine the ice cubes, yogurt, banana, blueberries, and orange juice. Blend to smoothie consistency. As it isblending add the cod liver oil, flaxseed oil, ground flaxseed and finally the whey or soy protein.

As soon as the protein is mixed turn the blender off. Do not over blend, as over blending tears down the structure ofthe protein.

Try to drink the smoothie as soon after blending as possible. The longer it sits it will tend to thicken up, because ofthe flaxseed.

The absolute best time for the HGH Optimization Power Shake is first thing in the morning, it is a GREAT way to start

the day.

So why are the ingredients so special?

Ground flax seed: [7]

Literally acts as a tooth brush scouring the walls of your intestines. Doing so helps cleanse your intestines andenables you to digest food more efficiently.

High quality milled flax seed has 22% protein, and it is complete with all the essential amino acids.

Flaxseed oil: [8]

Provides Omega 3 fatty acids

Acts as a buffer for excess stomach acids

Lubricates and absorbs toxins

Prevents toxic build-up in the bowel

Contains lignans that have anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-cancer properties

Have the richest source of lignans, 100 times more than the next best source, wheat bran

Contains lecithin which emulsifies fat and cholesterol

Norwegian cod liver oil:

I know, it sounds disgusting. But seriously, give it a try. Remember – “Lemon Flavored.”

Provides your diet with a nifty three-letter health powerhouse: EPA (short for eicosapentaenoic) [9] which isone of the most deficient elements of the common persons diet. It is a long-chain Omega-3 essential fatty acidthat Norwegian cod liver oil just happens to be full of EPA which which helps in preventing heart disease andcirculatory troubles.

It’s well known that omega-3s help lower triglycerides.

Acts as a natural blood thinner and helps reduce platelet “stickiness”

Banana

Potassium

The rest of the ingredients are for taste and consistency.

We drink one of these shakes each morning seven days a week.
