Based off of QuidNYC Superfood For Him this recipe aims to be a bit more caloric-restrictive. Assuming this is 3 meals per day. I've been doing IF for a week paired with caloric restriction eating only two meals per day. My target caloric intake barring some crazy cardio days is 1500 give or take. So this recipe is aiming to function as three small meals (at 500 per meal) where I will consume one or two depending on how active I am being + a small dinner. For instance, the second will be consumed right after a workout.

One third of the "Superfood for Him" made me uncomfortably full (to my surprise). So I'll consume a third of this instead as one meal replacement followed by a healthy dinner option such as a protein/salad combo and the mixes I make will last me three times as long.

I also increased Protein and reduced Carbohydrates in this recipe. This was purely an experiment to get a more balanced Macro as well as to reduce the Carbohydrate intake a bit. I'm 6'5'' and 220 as of writing this so I believe I require a bit more protein per meal. The even numbers should help with scaling and making one dry batch weekly. Planning on getting a plastic cup and drawing a line for the oils to streamline.

Notes: -This recipe will continue to evolve until I've found the ideal meal replacement solution for my lifestyle and body. I believe all of these recipes are highly individual and should be tweaked to fit the number of variables from person to person.

-I reduced the salt by 1g and changed it to table salt which has iodine. I don't think salt is particularly bad but I don't think we need to add much more to our diets than 3g a day.

-I break the multi in half. I think vitamin supplements are kind of pointless but for the sake of covering ground I think it's good to just take half of a pill per day which will stretch out how long that bottle lasts. Most people aren't radically deficient across the board if they consume relatively healthy meals. If you only eat fast food, you probably would benefit more from the multi-V than the person eating their veggies, :)

-I replaced the Cinnamon Powder with Vanilla Bean Powder to pair with the Peanut Butter Powder I have added to create a slightly more palatable flavor.

-I replaced the Raw Cacao with powdered Peanut Butter. This with the Vanilla are strictly for flavor.

-I think this shake tastes like a blue corn tortilla chip and I'm not mad about that. It's quite good actually. Would be interesting to add Avocado Oil(something I'll try once I get through my 3 Liters of Olive Oil. You see where I'm going with this... going for a guacamole shake, :)

-I plan to add Cacao back into the mix after a month or so to weigh the benefits side by side without.

-Not convinced the taste the cinnamon imparts will outweigh the health benefit but like Cacao I'm willing to give it a month to see how/which ways it affects my body. There are so many "Superfoods" that I've sort of lost faith in one ingredient being a game changer. Right now I'm mostly focused on the macro component and finding the perfect balance that will keep me running with high energy/satiation while losing unnecessary body fat over time.

-Sticking with the Blue Corn flour for now because there are some interesting micro-nutritional benefits. It definitely gives this a Tortilla Chip flavor so I'm interested to see of the Oat Flour is more nuetral. Will continue to tweak every month or so.
