Frothy Energy Blend

     When I start feeling like I need a 'pick me up' drink this is one of my powerhouse blends. I often like it for a quick breakfast. It is packed with minerals, very high in potassium, iron, B vitamins and fiber. Because of the brand of brewer's yeast I use it is also high in vitamin B 12 which is an important supplement for vegetarians and vegans. Just the mention of brewer's yeast I am sure sent a few of you running away. This frothy drink blend does not taste like brewer's yeast. I made this for my husband and he didn't even know it had brewer's yeast in it. One tablespoon is not noticeable but if I had put 2 tablespoons I am sure he would have noticed :-) This drink is sweet, delicious and satisfy's like a glass of chocolate milk.

     If your stress level is high, feeling anxious or depressed, have the winter blues, memory feels foggy, want to stimulate your metabolism for weight loss,  then this drink is for you!

Frothy Energy Blend
serves 1

1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk
1 T. golden or brown flaxseed meal
1 T. brewer's yeast (Twinlab is brand I used)
1 T. unsulphured or blackstrap molasses*

Blend until ingredients are combined. That's it!

Variations:
- add 1/2 cup fruit like frozen mango chunks, strawberries, mixed berries or a small banana. If you add fruit you may want to eliminate the molasses as the fruit adds a lot of sweetness.

- add 1 T. unsweetened cocoa powder (or cocoa powder + banana) You increase potassium with both of these options.

- add 1 tsp. pure vanilla or use vanilla almond milk. Other non-dairy milks can also be used.

*If you can get organic unsulphured blackstrap molasses that would be the healthiest choice. Second best would be unsulphured molasses.
