PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

This version is currently in beta testing.

As such, it is only being used to replace 1 out of 6 of my father's meal replacement shakes. Because of this, the amount of calories to be prepared is 406 calories (2438 / 6).

The breakdown of ingredients to achieve this are as follows:

LIQUIDS

• 177ml Water
• 22.5ml Olive Oil
• 2.5ml Clean MCT Oil
• 0.625ml Wild Fish Oil

POWDERS

• 33g Carbo Gain
• 15g Naked Pea Protein
• 4.15g Super Electrolyte Powder
• 3g Multi-Collagen Powder
• 1.7g Sunflower Lecithin
• 0.67g Super Micros
• 0.25g AbsorbAid Enzymes

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Measure out all liquids and pour into a Mixer bottle.
2. Measure out all powders using a digital scale.
3. Add powders to liquids and mix.

CURRENT ISSUES

• Fiber is very low.
• Fat sources are currently not very diverse and do not have a good balance between saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats.
• The balance between Omega 6s and Omega 3s is currently at 5.5:1. The recipe would be better suited having a much more anti-inflammatory ratio such as 2:1 or 1:1.

FUTURE EXPLORATIONS

• Consider replacing maltodextrin with dextrose
• Explore alternative oil options (Contenders: Macadamia, Coconut, Chia Seeds, OR Increased Fish Oil)
• Further optimize micro-nutrients, perhaps by using a different multi-vitamin source
• Explore bone broth protein powder as an alternative to Collagen Protein Powder
• Explore additional nutritional therapeutic options
