Ingredients:

  • Click on "Recipe Editor" for more information. There you can:

    • Days/Unit, Item (total) Cost, sort by anything (Amount, specific nutrient, ...)
    • Copy and edit this recipe (different nutrient profiles, ingredients, ...)
  • need to be refrigerated:

    • Hemp protein powder
    • Flaxseed meal
    • Almond flour
    • Amazing Grass Alfalfa, Barley, and Wheat Grass trio powder
    • Chlorella algae powder (eggs obviously)
    • Water (!)
      • it is immensely better cold. I usually put ice cubes in the water filtration thingy I keep in the fridge.
        • Haven't tried putting ice cubes in the finished drink. May solidify the coconut oil?
  • Coconut oil

    • Store it in a glass jar (ideally a coconut oil glass jar)
    • Delicious
    • How to obtain?
      • Aldi and Trader Joe's offer organic virgin coconut oil for $4.99 for 14 oz and $5.99 for 16oz respectively ($0.36/oz and $0.37/oz, Costco is $19.99/54oz = $0.37/oz).
    • Solidifies at 76&- Solutions:
      • Slow cooker connected to a timer: Leave coconut oil jar in the slow-cooker with water and set it to low, set timer to turn it on fifteen minutes a day.
        +: Easiest
        -: Requires a slow cooker
        
      • Heat water up on high in a pan, put coconut oil jar in it, wait until it solidifies
        +: Frees up real estate
        -: Hassle to do every ~2-3 days
        
  • Cocoa:

    • Also available in bulk on bulknaturaloils.com (always get 20/22% fat)
    • probably just there for taste at this point
  • Bananas: Calories and deliciousness

  • Eggs: best protein
  • Hemp, rice protein: satisfying amino acid profile. I haven't tried rice
            protein, feedbacks are welcome.
    
  • Flaxseed meal: (plant-based) Omega-3
  • Almond flour: Niacin, Vitamin E
  • Oat flour: Molybdenum
  • GNC Mega Men: Chromium
  • Amazing grass / wheat grass: Vitamin K
  • Iodised salt: Iodine, sodium
  • Calcium citrate: Calcium
  • Methylsulfonylmethane: Sulfur
  • Chlorella Algae: Folate
  • Potassium Chloride: Potassium, chloride
  • Vitamin D3: Vitamin D
              !!! Use a microgram scale.
    

How to mix all the things:

  • Where?

    • A large jug if you can get your hands on one (eg: 4 lb protein powder jug)
      ~12 days / jug, washable
      
    • A large zip-lock bag otherwise ~5 days / bag, wasteful
  • How?


How to serve it?

- First time:

- You will need a kitchen scale large enough to handle a full blender
  (Aldi offer such a scale for $10 once in a while)
- If you are making more than one meal at a time, you will need to
  record the weight of the empty blender before using it. Keep this
  number handy.



- The usual:

- Tare the scale to the blender, put a banana and an egg (per meal) in
  it, fill the blender with powder until you reach 260.5g per meal 
  (2meals = 521g, 3meals = 781.5g)
- Tare scale, add oils: you need 28g of coconut oil per meal (it must be
  liquid!), and 25g of (virgin) olive oil, for a total of 53g of oil per
  meal (2 meals: +=, 3 meals: +=)
- Add cold water and blend. Don't wait after adding the water, because
  the coconut oil may solidify until it is blended with the other 
  ingredients
- If you were making one meal you are done. Keep it cold, it should be 
  good for two days.
    - Otherwise, put the blender on the scale and calculate:
      ([current blender weight] - [empty blender weight]) / #ofServings

      (After serving, fill blender with cold water and fill bottles 
      starting with the last one served. It will have less calories
      so keep it for dinner.)

Improvements:

  • Add salmon oil (fish = best Omega-3, salmon = minimal mercury, brain = :), much cheaper than Omega-3-oils found on Amazon)
    • Available on bulknaturaloils.com

This recipe:
