This week's recipe is a smoothie. It's excellent to drink in the morning; especially if the day ahead of you requires a lot of brain exercise. It's also a good one to give your child before setting off to school. This recipe makes two smoothies.1/2 cup soy yogurt
1 orange peeled and cut into chunks
8-10 strawberries (you can also use frozen if you need to- 1 cup)
1 tbsp lecithin granules
1 tbsp protein powder
1 tbsp honey- raw and local
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
6-8 ice cubes
Place all ingredients in a blender and enjoy!
Ingrdient Spotlight: Lecithen
Acetylcholine is an important- if not THE most important- neurotransmitter for memory. The body makes this neurotransmitter from choline which is a B complex vitamin. Studies have shown that choline has significantly enhanced the memory of healthy young adults. Some evidence also proves that it can enhance memory, mental function, and thought transmission. This occurs through the strengthening of the neruons in the brain's centers that controls memory. Lecithin is a a good source of choline. Oranges (included in this smoothie) provide a good source of it as well.
