Notes and Helpful Hints

1. This drink can be modified or added to in any way to suit your own personal tastes.  Consider this only a starting point.

2. Dark-colored berries seem to be the best fruits to add, both for their robust flavor as well as their rich color (which masks the green from the superfood vegetable powder).

3. Estimated cost per serving is $3.10, based on non-sale prices for organic large-sized containers from an average health food store.  I invite you to invest in your health and buy only the highest quality ingredients.  Avoid cheap grocery store brands.  Improved flavor, mornings, and health will be your benefit.

4. For those who like it sweet, stevia is an excellent herbal non-caloric sugar (& Nutrasweet) replacement.  Also safe in coffee.

5. Refrigerate all ingredients.  Best drunk right after blending.
