Many of you out there know exactly what it is like to have an autistic child who over eats or under eats. Unfortunately, we have one of each. For years it has been a constant battle as to keeping one out of the cupboards and force feeding the other. However, newly found hope is in sight!
A few months ago we started doing raw milk kefir smoothies* per the "Brain Food Diet". We purchased a cow, bought the kefir cultures and see the milk man at our door every Thursday. Routine shakes, less "stym-ing" and the cycle continues; until we bought a nutribullet.
OF COURSE! This makes so much sense! Lets add things to the smoothie! Our picky eater is more than picky; he has efficiently illuminated all foods out of his diet except millet bread, rice, rice pasta and GF "treats" of any kind. 58lbs and 11 years of age; we needed something resourceful, and fast, so I developed the perfect recipe to please both our little sweet tooth junkie and our eager nurturing hearts.
1 regular banana
4oz of organic, unsweetened applesauce or a "snack-pack" apple sauce
42g (or one scoop) any vegan Shakeology* mix
1 cup frozen, mixed organic berries (excluding strawberries, see "Brain Food Diet"
1-2Tbs liquid, alcohol free, stevia
2 Raw eggs (preferably the highest quality organic eggs available to you)
1tsp fermented spirulina (we use "Body Ecology")
This concoction contains over 700 calories, over 30g of protein and is loaded with natural fiber, probiotics and nutrients. Though it resources ingredients from unique places, nothing is more satisfying than seeing our kid drink an entire shake full of hope for growth into his future!
