An attempt to reduce toxins, xenobiotics, and inflammatory compounds but at a low cost. More of a meal replacement shake using whole foods than the typical soylent recipe.
- Coconut milk choosen to be organic and packed in BPA-free containers
- Sweet potato flour can be substituted for rice flour
- Whey protein should be low temperature or enzymatically processed
- Eggs should be cage-free at minimum
- Grass-fed butter is a must (Kerrygold is best)
- Any form of unprocessed salt can be used (for trace minerals)
- Use low-toxin coffee (high altitude, mechanically processed green coffee beans)
- Parsley can be freeze dried
- Hass avocados are preferred
- Zeolite or bentonite clay can be added to selectively reduce absorption of mycotoxins
- Biotin is produced by the gut microflora and doesn't need to be supplemented
- Vitamin K2 (MK-4 or MK-7) should still be supplemented as plant-based K1 does not convert to K2 efficiently
- Salt content should be adjusted to minimize gastric distress
- Tea (black, green, herbal; brewed or macha style) can be substituted for coffee
I will probably add some blueberries for their anthocyanin and fiber content and their taste. Perhaps some chocolate powder can be added as well; Lindt brand seems to be acceptable. Protein content is at the acceptable lower end of RDI. Should be sufficiently low to allow for autophagy but should be adjusted according to expected physical activity for the day. Many vitamins are inadequate, but I believe the USDA numbers are on the low side. Organic, pastured, cage-free, etc. foods should provide a boost to the numbers.
