Miracle Muscle Milk

My cousin suggested a refreshing and healthy drink as breakfast every morning. I don't eat breakfast, so I modified the recipe a bit (okay, a lot) and made it into a post-workout super-food drink.

Milk Low-fat milk Unsweetened soy milk Unsweetened almond milk Unsweetened oat milk 1.5-2 cups of any one of the following. Or mix 'em up if you like.

Nuts, Seeds, Fruits 1 tbsp chia seeds 2-3 dates, diced 1 tbsp pumpkin seeds 2-3 dried figs, diced 1 tbsp almonds 1 tbsp hemp hearts 1 tbsp flax seeds 1 tbsp rolled oats 0.5 tbsp walnuts 0.5 tbsp pistachios 0.5 tbsp cashews 1 shot espresso Get at least one of the fruits in for sweetness. Chia seeds are super-healthy, so get those in. Everything else is per availability.

Spices 2-3 strands saffron 2-3 pods of cardamom, removed from pods 0.25 tsp cinnamon 0.25 tsp cloves All of these are completely optional. I prefer whole spices, but if all you have is powders, that's fine too.

Powders 1 scoop muscle milk 2 scoops beef collagen powder 1 tbsp unsweetened dark cocoa powder 1 tbsp moringa powder 1 tbsp matcha green tea powder 1 tbsp spirulina and chlorella powder 1 tbsp beet powder 1 tsp turmeric powder pinch of salt (beef collagen powder contains salt) pinch of paprika The muscle milk is necessary, hence the name. It's a great post-workout supplement. Everything else is optional.
