Smoothie

Here is my Smoothie recipe:

1 cup homemade raw milk yogurt.
frozen berries.
2 raw pastured egg yolks.
1 Tbs ground flaxseed
1/2 tsp concentrace
1-2 Tbs melted coconut oil
frozen bananas

I put everything but the coconut oil and egg yolks into the blender and blend until smooth then I add the oil slowly and the egg yolks last.
All ingredients are optional but the yogurt and frozen fruit. The smoothie will be thick or thin depending on how much frozen fruit you add. Adding the oil thins it quite a bit so make sure its thick before you add it. You will have to experiment to find the ratio you like.
I break the bananas into bite size pieces before I freeze them so it is easier to add how much I want. I also take my cod liver oil with the smoothie but dont add it to it or it will taste nasty.
This smoothie is full of probiotics, healthy fats, minerals and vitamins.
I dont add the egg whites because raw egg whites have enzyme inhibitors and they are best eaten cooked. Egg yolks are best eaten raw but you dont want to eat store bought eggs raw, only pastured eggs. If you dont have homemade yogurt you can use store bought but it is not as healthy. Walmart has Dannon Plain yogurt that is a good alternative. Just make sure it is NOT the low fat version. If you cant find that, look for any yogurt that doesnt have anything in it other than milk and enzymes and make sure it is not low fat. Organic would be good too.
