Zucchini provides fiber, folate, and potassium for healthy cellular function, along with vitamin C and carotenoids, offering antioxidant benefits. Sesame seeds are mineral-rich with notable amounts of copper, manganese, and calcium. They also provide a beneficial substance called sesamin, found to support healthy cholesterol and protect the liver. Garlic is rich in powerful sulfur-containing compounds, which supports liver health and cardiovascular function; it also offers anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antiviral benefits.

Dr. Morrison’s protein shake is a great way to get a balanced breakfast that will keep you feeling full until lunch. To boost its flavor and nutrition, we added organic berries and cinnamon and blended it into a sweet treat that actually helps control blood sugar. And if you’re feeling frisky, you can add a heaping teaspoon of raw maca powder. Maca was prized by the ancient Inca for its adaptogenic properties and for its reputation as a reproductive tonic to boost fertility, sexual drive, and endurance. Whip up a double serving for you and your sweetheart any day!
