Recipe: Alpha Lipid LifeLine & Banana Smoothie

Erin demonstrates how to make a fantastic Alpha Lipid LifeLine, Banana and Honey Smoothie. Use this as the basis of many variations of smoothie. This tastes amazing, has all the goodness of Alpha Lipid LifeLine, the antibacterial properties of NZ Manuka Honey, the potassium and fibre content of bananas, and the calcium, vitamin D, and fat content of milk.

Ingredients:

2 Bananas
1-2 cups milk
Dessertspoon of Manuka Honey (or other dark bush honey)
2 scoops Alpha Lipid LifeLine colostrum powder

Serves: 2-3

Notes...

• Add ground Flaxseeds/Linseeds for added Omega 3 fatty acid content; something most people are greatly lacking in today's diet, and to add mucilage
  
  
• Add psyllium husks to bulk it out and add fibre for those with digestive troubles
  
  
• Add avocado for a dose of good fats, and to add even more to the creamy texture
  
  
• Add ice in summer for cooling and crunch-factor
  

In this video I used raw milk. I love raw milk - i.e. unpasteurised, whole milk - as it's super creamy, full of fat - which makes you feel fuller for longer - contains enzymes to help digestion, and often other good bacteria to boost immunity and gut health. As I've said previously, my personal philosophy on health is that the closer something is to nature, the better it's going to be for you.

If you can't get hold of raw milk - and if you do use it, I recommend you visit the farm and ensure the cows are healthy and raised organically, to make sure you don't end up sick from it! - then whole pasteurised milk is the next best thing.

For those who are lactose intolerant, I've used both rice milk and almond milk before with this recipe and they taste great too.

The honey I've used here is organic manuka honey. Manuka honey is made from the flowers of the NZ Manuka (Tea) Tree, and is renowned globally for its high levels of antibacterial properties. It's one of nature's greatest healers for wounds and burns, and is used in hospitals to fight MRSA infections. If you can't get hold of this, then any other dark bush honey will be fine.
NB - Never heat honey as it destroys the beneficial enzymes.

• To fight against hayfever, use honey as local to you as you can find. It will contain local pollen and help you build an immunity to the allergens, so you don't suffer all summer long

And one final note; this actually made enough for 2-3 servings, not one as I originally intended to make in the video!!

Product: Cellworx

New Image have produced a concentrated extract of a number of the minor compounds found in colostrum.

Cellworx is absorbed so fast with such a good 'delivery method' that it begins working almost straight away; transmucosal absorption (sub-lingual/under the tongue) means it is absorbed directly into the blood stream and distributed through the body and bone marrow.

So what's in it?

Info-Peptides: These are compounds that provide regulation and signals so our immune system functions properly.

Sialyl Oligosaccharides: These are big sugar-based compounds that provide the right chemical compounds needed for your cells to communicate properly across the nerve gap. At the end of each nerve cell and the start of another is a gap of sorts, and a breakdown in communication between these can lead to all sorts of problems. Sialyl Oligosaccharides resolve this problem effectively, as well as fighting bacteria on their own, and have been shown to bind to viruses and stop them replicating through the body - one in particular being the flu virus. Bonus!

Neuro-Peptides: These are compounds that can improve cognitive response in the elderly, as well as delaying the onset of neuro-degenerative disorders. They can help stop the impact on brain tissue of free radicals, and also prevent the formative of beta-amyloid plaques forming in the brain.

Cytokines: Compounds involved in the cell-to-cell recognition and replication pathways, including IGF-1, IGF-2, TGF, EGF, and PDGF, amongst others.

And how does it work?

Cellworx comes in the form of a concentrated spray, which you spray under the tongue before you go to bed. This area is one of the most absorptive in the body, and in a process called transmucosal absorption products are absorbed directly into the bloodstream. Use Cellworx before bed, and hold for as long as possible (fight that urge to swallow!!)

Users of various other natural health products such as homeopathy will be familiar with the process of holding a tablet or spray under the tongue for as long as possible, in order for it to be absorbed.

For best results

Although it can be used on its own, like Colostem, for best results use Cellworx in conjunction with Colostem (taken an hour before dinner) and Lifeline (in the morning).

Cellworx comes in a 125ml spray bottle. RRP NZ$93.05 + P&P, or
70ml spray bottle. RRP $67.20
