This is the elixir I regularly consume t
o ensure the best day ever :)
Elixirs replace smoothies in my regimen when there’s freezing temps and snow, which is about 4 months a year living in Michigan.
As with smoothies, I recommend developing a go-to elixir or two. My staple elixir is tailored to my personal nutritional needs and health goals, as should yours. Having a go-to elixir takes the guesswork out of what I’m having for breakfast and allows me to stock up on ingredients in bulk.
I’m extremely excited to unveil the first recipe with my favorite superfood, colostrum.
Why am I enthralled with colostrum? Why is it considered nature’s perfect food?
Every mammal produces colostrum as the first food for their new born baby. That alone should tell you something. Colostrum is a complete whole food, containing immune factors, growth factors, and a bevy of nutrients including all essential amino acids, fatty acids, and glyconutrients.
Colostrum, like coconut oil and chia seeds, is a staple ingredient in my smoothies and elixirs.
A superfood that may not be familiar to you yet is one that you need to know about. Colostrum is a substance that can prevent infections from bacteria and the flu, relieve symptoms of gastrointestinal disorders, treat diabetes, reduce the inflammation associated with autoimmune disorders, boost the functioning of the immune system, and that’s not all.
Colostrum is packed with a number of important nutrients, including protein, vitamins, minerals, immune factors, growth factors, and metabolic factors. If you haven’t started getting colostrum into your diet, now is the time!
If I was stranded on a desert island and could only choose one food, it would be colostrum without a doubt.
I’m making a bold claim with the title of this smoothie, but hear me out.
In my quest to have the best day ever, the alchemist in me came out as I threw every superfood in my kitchen into the blender. The result, a delicious, creamy, and outrageously healthy superfood smoothie.
