Matt Struve - Time for a Supershake Update!

Time for a Supershake Update!

I hope you all are doing wonderfully!

Some good news! Soon after posting the supershake videos, I learned a ton of you guys have started making them! You can’t imagine how happy I am about this. Starting your day off this way offers such a huge blast of vitality to your health and daily endeavors. Stay with it! New invigoration, inspiration and direction of lifestyle will follow suit if it hasn’t started already!

Okay. In the last few weeks, I’ve received a number of messages asking if I’ve modified my shake at all. The answer is, yes I have. So quite a few people replied requesting me to post all the ingredients I use now. Hence this blog entry.

Let’s take a closer look into the supershake, see the ingredient list that makes it tick, and I’ll discuss the latest changes I’ve done as well as a few plans I have for the near future.

Before I get on with it, I just want to say, that since my friend Baard turned me on to making them, which was back in what… late March?, I’ve only missed ONE day. I’ve traveled 6 times since then. Thank god for portable blenders, and ziplocks! Haha I bring this up, because staying consistent is the key!

Our bodies and psychologies adapt to dietary change. Be it a new vitamin supplement, or a new car for that matter. After a short while we get used to the amazement that stuck out so loudly at first. With nutrition upgrades, this is especially true. The contrast of health and new vitality you feel after the first week of introducing new healthiness* Well you know what? I am more than happy to report, I still feel ALL those contrasts that I did since day ONE (okay, day 3 to be honest).

For instance, I’ve NEVER been a morning person. My whole life has been a habit of going to bed after midnight, and waking at the last minute to get my day going.

Total change in the last 6 months…

Since drinking this shake consistently, my morning routine is completely altered. Going to bed 3 hours earlier and waking up 3 hours before I used to. Before I would hit up the gym after work. Yes, I’ve tried exercising in the morning before, but was always too tired or unmotivated to switch my routine. Now with this new excess of energy in the morning, there’s a surplus of energy to exercise with. It’s so perfect. Now the rest of my day is completely opened up for other activities, projects, bonding with friends and loved ones. Like I said, the effect of the supershake hit me intensely about 3 days after starting. And seriously, the high continues to last all day long.

Ya can’t go wrong. Okay, let’s discuss the ingredients.

The main problem comes down to cost; let’s be honest, looking at everything in total, it can be a bummer at first glance. But if you add it all up, then average the cost between 60 days, it comes out to be a pretty reasonable breakfast. And with the benefits, and how full you are after drinking it? So worth it!

At first I paid through the roof for everything, shopping at Whole Foods and other local stores. Since then I’ve smartened up, purchasing online and saving big. At first I thought the price was because they were name brand products. Nope. Just a retail price-hike local stores typically do to make their ends.

And trust me, you don’t want substitute these ingredients for other brands that say they contain the same stuff. Stick with what has worked for me and 1000’s of other people! Stick to the brands below, they are the best for the body to assimilate. You can do your own research on how all the ingredients work, or wait until I post a blog about it, but I promise you will feel 5+ years younger by replacing your breakfasts with this shake. And it’s filling. You’ll remember what it’s like to truly LIVE.

WORTH EVERY PENNY SPENT

Okay, here is a list to the prices I now pay for the ingredients. It’s so much less than what I paid at whole foods locally. And again, everything will last an average of about 2 months give or take depending on the product. Here are the catagories! (optional add means I’ve been experimenting, but was not part of the original formula)

· Stay away from DAIRY!! So bad! Read why here! Instead I switched to "So Delicious" Brand - Cultured Coconut Milk Yogurt

· Whole Grain Rice Milk or Almond Milk – (I buy mine at Trader Joes) Almond milk has half the calories, and when it comes to grains or rice, "whole grain" anything is better than the alternative.

Raw fruits

· Organic bananas & blueberries

(I scratched the strawberries. Other than flavor, there was no real benefit.)

Steel Cut Oats

· I took them out. I've been learning about food combination and proper digestion. The more you can minimize bad combinations, the more your body will assimilate the nutrients. Plus, the oats were originally added to thicken the shake, adding to the caloric total. Since I've been trying to lean it down, while adding super foods, they had to be scratched. :)

There you go! I really hope you guys check this out, and experience what has totally blown my mind and body away in the last month, and it STILL feels like it’s only getting better and better!

I mean it!

Matt
