New Year Shake

This is my all-time favourite meal in a glass! I learned to make this in Mexico at Sanoviv Medical Institute. It is served once a week there, but at home, I make it at least four times a week.

1 avocado
1 raw free-range (organic) egg
2 limes (juice only)
1 Tblsp. Coconut oil
2+ cups Almond milk or Coconut milk
Agave honey or Unpasteurized honey to taste

Blend just until smooth

For cancer patients, this is a really great drink because it provides protein and healthy fats, in a low glycemic meal. Remember that cancer feeds on sugar, so using Agave honey (made from cactus) or unpasteurized honey in reasonable amounts is important, as it tends not to spike your glycemic levels. Also, unpasteurized honey still has good bacteria in it. It is considered a Super Food. Once honey is pasteurized, these good bacteria are destroyed. The lime juice helps create an alkaline environment in your body - also important, because cancer thrives in an acidic environment and cannot live in an alkaline one. The coconut oil provides the fatty acids so essential to healing, and the avocado is also a great source of good fats as well as potassium.

I make my shake with Almond milk, but you might prefer the Coconut Milk. If you are worried about the raw egg - don't. Only one in 33,000 regular eggs contains salmonella and it is almost always found on the shell, so wash the shell with soap and water and it will be safe. Organic eggs have almost no chance of containing salmonella!

CHEERS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!

NOTE: Some of my friends didn't want to have one of these shakes because they said they didn't like avocados, but once they tasted it, they ordered seconds.
