Berry Good Smoothie

 "Berry Good" Smoothie: 

• Pour 2 cups(16 ounces) of water and crushed ice into a blender. 
• Put two caps of the Love and Peas powder in as well. 
• Add 1 cup of fruit. Any kind is fine. I prefer a mix of raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries for this recipe. 
• Then measure 1 and 1/2 teaspoon. of coconut oil. 
• Once that is added, 4 shakes of Stevia or Sweet Leaf is needed. 
• Optional: You can add 1 heaping Tablespoon of peanut butter. (But if you do leave out the coconut oil as mentioned earlier.)
• Finally, blend the ingredients together until it is all mixed, and enjoy your shake. (Again, this has all the nutrients provided for 1 meal weather you choose to have it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.)

What is Cargeenan and how does this effect my diet?

"Sometimes eating something natural isn't good for you."

What is Carrageenan?

This is a soluble fiber that is derived from red seaweed.

It often replaces synthetic and animal-based 

products. 

Where can I find this?

Many food manufacturers—even some makers 

of commercial organic foods—are adding "carrageenan" 

to foods like yogurt, chocolate, soymilk, and even ice 

cream to give the foods a thicker consistency and to make 

low-fat versions taste fuller. Derived from red seaweed, 

it's often added to beverages to keep their ingredients 

from separating; you'll find it in many nutritional shakes, 

milk products, and milk replacements. The ingredient 

even crops up in certain frozen dinners, soups, and 

commercial broth products. Its also used in beverage products

 could be completely eliminated if companies printed "Shake Well"

 on their packages, since carrageenan essentially makes sure liquids

 remain mixed.

How is it bad for me? 

The problem with carrageenan 

could be causing inflammation, gut irritation, and even 

cancer. This also has no nutritional value!

How do I cut Carrageenan from my diet:

 Be very watchful, and  check the nutritional 

 labels before buying a product from your local grocery or 

health food store! 

While organic foods ban the use of GMOs, chemical pesticides, 

and toxic synthetic additives, the program does allow Carrageenan.
