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!!

Products: Capsules and Chewable Tablets

…and for those who aren’t so good with mixing up a quick and easy drink in the morning, there’s colostrum for those ‘on the go’.

Alpha Lipid Colostrum is also available as capsules, and as chewable vanilla-flavoured tablets. Both can come in either a one (60 caps/tabs) or two-month (120 caps/tabs) supply.

I find the tablets great for keeping in the handbag; any time you feel like you need one, or you’ve slept in a bit too long to make up your morning shake, you can chew one up and taste the rewards.

The tablet form is also great for kids to take, especially if you can’t get them to drink the smoothie and they won’t swallow capsules. They are delicious though, so try not to let them eat the whole bottle at once!!

RRP: Capsules - 60 @ NZ$45.35 or 120 @ NZ$75.75 + P&P

RRP: Tablets - 60 @ NZ$53.35 or 120 @ NZ$86.40 + P&P

Product: Alpha Lipid Lifeline

Introducing one fantastic product: Alpha-Lipid Lifeline. And a ‘lifeline’ it truly is! A powdered colostrum product, Lifeline contains 2000mg of colostrum, as well as 1000mg of calcium plus other vitamins and minerals, and acidophilus too - a ‘good bacteria’ essential for good health and fantastic in fighting off yeast and candida infections.

Each 450gm can is a one-month supply, and has a delicious vanilla flavour. When you shake it up with water it’s like drinking melted ice-cream, and it tastes amazing in smoothies too (I highly recommend trying banana, honey, and Lifeline!)

And good news for the lactose intolerant: The lactose molecule in this has been taken right down to its simple sugar, meaning it’s safe for you to reap the benefits of too.

RRP: NZ$83.05 + P&P - 450gm can

Why Alpha Lipid?

Why Alpha Lipid?

Alpha Lipid colostrum is a patented form of bovine colostrum, made by New Image International. Essentially, the colostrum is lipid-coated in a way that enhances absorption - and the speed of absorption - by up to 100%.

What about the cows?

The colostrum comes from cows grown on pesticide-free pastures here in clean, green New Zealand, during the natural three-month calving season. The cows are free from antibiotics and growth hormones, and are not immunised to produce any specific antibodies first - something some other colostrum types are. No calves are harmed in production of Alpha Lipid Colostrum products - if a calf doesn’t get colostrum within 24 hours of birth it can’t live.

Calves need around 20% of the colostrum produced to survive, which is why they get the first fill, and the excess is used to produce Alpha Lipid Colostrum. This is the excess that most farms simply wash down the drain until milk is produced.
