dark leafy greens high in alkalizing chlorophyll to aid in cell regeneration—foods like kale, spinach, swiss chard, spirulina, and marine phytoplankton. Plus, I add endurance boosters like beetroot, chia seeds, and maca powder, a rotation of avocado, coconut, and hemp seeds high in essential fatty acids, and blackberries and acai for antioxidants. Pepita (pumpkin) seeds provide extra iron, and bell pepper and citrus fruit provide vitamin C, which enhances the body’s ability to absorb the iron. And if the blend is too bitter, I add a small amount of orange or apple juice for flavor.
