The price may seem steep at first, but compared to more popular superfood products made with up to 50% filler (soy lecithin, usually), LivingFuel Rx Super Greens is very reasonably priced.
Many ingredients are organic (spirulina, sea vegetables, herbs, etc.), and most nutrients are food-sourced, such as silica from horsetail herbs, or zinc from Krebs cycle bionutrients.
The forms of the nutrients used in LivingFuel Rx Super Greens are the expensive, premium forms. |

A Word About smoothies. smoothies are a great way to get fruit and yogurt— terrific SuperFoods—into your diet. While they're not included on the SlimDown except as a breakfast meal option, they're a good choice for the FlexPlan. But keep in mind that a typical smoothie from a commercial smoothie shop is 16 ounces and up. A 16-ounce smoothie would count as approximately two Flexes due to their high calorie count. |

The key to anti-diabetogenic green smoothies is to achieve a sweet taste without the use of high-glycemic fruits. For the purposes of maintaining proper blood sugar as a diabetic or former diabetic, this means using super-low-glycemic chia seeds with your greens, in conjunction with sweet spices such as cardamom and stevia. On the Phase 1.5 cuisine, a low-glycemic fruit such as blueberries can be added in limited quantities. |

Mike: I love this whole area, and I know we can talk hours on this. Some people call it the homeopathy of foods. What do you call it? Do you have a name for that?
Wolfe: I just call it the best food ever.
Mike: Right on.
Wolfe: That's what I say when people ask what I'm into. I tell them that I'm into the best food ever. They say, "Well, that's too much for me. I can't do it now." It only takes a step at a time to do this, and there's so much nutrition in this. There's more nutrition in this than I probably got in a week when I was seven years old. |

A blended green soup made in a high-speed blender has at its base a fat, such as sesame tahini, olives, avocado, or a salad dressing. Then you are adding in everything that you would have in a plant-source salad: leafy greens, cucumbers, celery, tomato, peppers, and so on. Next include sea vegetables such as dulse, arame, wakame, sea palm, and hijiki. Finally, spices such as whole garlic, whole ginger root, cayenne, Himalayan crystal salt or Celtic sea salt, mustard, and fresh or dried herbs of your choice. |

Her Emerald Balance product line delivers truly outstanding nutrition with no junk, no artificial ingredients and no shortcuts. Her new chocolate flavor introduced this year is flat-out delicious, with hint of mint. It's amazing how much nutrition Jan manages to get into a superfood formula that tastes this great! It doesn't have any "greens" taste or strange aftertaste. | | But X-Balance is one that I immediately recognized as being both delicious and nutritious, so I started adding it to my morning smoothies. It didn't take long to run out, and I realized this was a product I truly missed! I call this product an "instant hit" and give it my highest recommendation: Five stars.

I'll talk more about the products in a different article. Here, I'd like to focus on the substantial health benefits of aloe vera to let you see just why I'm so excited about the medicinal applications of this miracle plant.
Health benefits of aloe vera gel
What I'm about to offer here are my own opinion statements about aloe vera's healing benefits. | | Find more smoothie recipes in my book, Superfood smoothies. I have home-grown recipes for halting degenerative disease, ending digestive disorders, lowering cholesterol and much more, all using delicious natural medicine from fruits and vegetables!
Note: Fresh aloe vera has virtually no taste. Other forms of aloe will have a slightly bitter taste, so you may need to add more sweetener if using dried aloe vera. I always recommend using fresh, raw aloe vera right out of your yard if possible. |

See article keywords and concepts | | Mike: Let's talk about some of the ingredients that people can use in those smoothies, because your company sells many of them. What are some of the more interesting or unique products that you offer at RawFood.com?
Wolfe: One of the biggest things that we've really done is innovated a lot of exotic raw food products back into the marketplace and back into common levels of consciousness. For example, we brought raw, organic cacao beans into the general commerce. After 500 years being out of the market, people didn't even know what it was.
Mike: Yes! I'm so glad you did, by the way. |

See article keywords and concepts |  I also eat raw foods, drink superfood smoothies and avoid all prescription drugs. And I have yet to meet any person on pharmaceuticals who even compares to the level of health that I (and many others like me) experience on a daily basis. You show me somebody taking twelve prescription drugs, and I'll show you someone with a toxic liver, impaired brain function, stressed kidneys and unhealthy blood. Drugs don't make people healthy. And most drugs, by the way, actually deplete the body of essential nutrients. |

See article keywords and concepts |  Nothing is quite as good as the fresh juices, which is why I strongly recommend the daily consumption of blended smoothies using a Vita-Mix and some raw, fresh ingredients. When you can get pomegranate seeds in season, it's always better to eat them fresh. They're crunchy and sweet, so buy 'em when you can.
When you can't get them in season, juice is the next best thing, and virtually all the juices on the market are made from concentrate. | | Pom juice is an excellent addition to any smoothie, by the way, and I've published a collection of healthy smoothie recipes in my book, Superfood smoothies.
Are the health benefits of pomegranate really so miraculous?
Yes they are. If the drug companies had come up with this, they'd call it a miracle drug and try to get it prescribed to everyone. But it's from nature, not a drug company, so it can't be patented, marketed and sold at ridiculous profits. That's why this genuine natural medicine is only a couple of bucks per serving (or dose). |
Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts |  Is that typically used in smoothies then? Is that what you recommend?
Dr. Liers: Yes! It has chia seeds in it, too. Again, it was to get some essential fatty acids, and to get, as you know, the fiber from chia seeds, which is a truly wonderful fiber, plus antioxidants, and just a little extra protein. Part of it is, if you put superfoods together in a nice combination, they are each going to contribute in their own way. There is no single thing that does everything.
I think chlorella is as close, in my book, as any single superfood comes to doing it all. |

There's nothing in the stores that even approaches the taste you'll experience from this combination mix! (Trust me, you've probably never tasted any nut mix this good...)
