New Emergen-C Smoothie Recipe

If you have not tried a supplement called Emergen-C, you are missing out on a truly awesome way to get vitamin C, as well as many other nutrients.  I've used it for several years whenever I felt a cold coming on (and I swear to you I feel better within minutes) also giving it to my kids, and even grandchildren.  Now I'm adding it to at least one smoothie every day, and its GREAT!

My favorite flavor is Lemon Lime, with Tangerine being my second.  My family prefers Raspberry.  Emergen-C comes in a variety of flavors, with several different formulas.  Basically, it comes as a powder packet which you empty into a drink.  It is packed with loads of good things.  Here's a link for purchasing: Emergen-C.  The Lemon-lime Emergen-C 1,000mg Vitamin C packet contains:

1. 1000mg C
2. 25% of your daily of Thiamine, Riboflavin, Niacin
3. 500% of your B6, 417% of your B12
4. Also includes: Folic Acid, Pantothenic Acid, Calcium, Phosphorus, Magnesium, Zinc, Manganese, Chromium, Potassium, Alpha-lipoic Acid, and Quercetin.

So... here is a yummy smoothie recipe containing Lemon-Lime Emergen-C.  If you want a protein kick out of it, too, then add a scoop of protein powder.

Tropical Burst Emergen-C Smoothie

Lemon-Lime Emergen-C packet

1 Banana

1/8 cup pina colada mix

6 oz. cold water

1 1/2 cups ice (or 3/4 glass-full) ice

I put 3 Omega 3-6-9 capsules, 1 alpha-lipoic acid, 2 panax ginseng, 1000mg MSM (all opened and emptied into blender, discarding the capsules).  Your supplements may differ.  Then add the Lemon-Lime Emergen-C packet, 1 banana, broken up for better blending, the pina colada mix, and water.  Blend on lowest setting to liquify.  Then add ice, and crush until smooth.  I like to use this as a morning smoothie sometimes, and do add a scoop of protein powder.  But even without protein powder, this shake is a really great pick-me-up after a workout.  And your only calories are in the banana and the bit of pina colada mix (go lite on that, because it does add a lot of calories if you don't.  The Emergen-C packet has 25 calories.  Enjoy!

And one other thing... I'm not getting paid for this...  This is not a 'commercial.'  I really do like and use the products I tell you about :)
