my morning superfood smoothies

i started up my morning superfood smoothies again and started workin out everyday again…feelin great!

a lot of you have asked for the recipe so here it is!

here is the deal with this recipe – it helps with EVERYTHING you do. This thing packs more nutrition in one glass than you get in a MONTH.

Healthy and Clean Smoothie = Healthy and Clean Mind = Getting what you want

you can get these ingredients from http://www.ultimatesuperfoods.com/ and Whole Foods and http://www.sunfood.com

First we have to make a base for your smoothie. This basically allows you to put as much healthy shit in you want without it tasting bad! I learned this little secret from Len Foley, the master smoothie maker over at www.thebestdayever.com. (killer site by the way) The smoothie below makes about 4 cups.

Start off with half an inch of water and put it into your vitamix.

Add:

Spoon of raw and organic honey
Spoon of raw/organic coconut oil
Pinch of organic sea salt
Handful of organic cashews or organic brazil nuts
Two squirts of vanilla stevia

Blend on high until silky smooth. Now you have your base!

Now Add:

Half a cup of Organic Frozen Berries (or fresh berries like strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, etc.)
1.5 – 2 cups Coconut water or some kind of nut milk (I prefer coconut water, but I do use nut milk sometimes. Such as vanilla almond milk or hemp milk)
2 to 3 (or more ) big tablespoons of Cacao Powder
1 – 2 teaspoons of Goji Berry Extract powder
Handful of Goji Berries
2 to 3 tablespoons of some kind of seeds (I like Chia seeds the best. But you can use flax seeds)
1 – 3 scoops of SunWarrior Protein
1 – 2 tablespoons of tocotrienols
1-2 tablespoons of SunWarrior activated barley (optional)
1 tablespoon of maca extreme (be careful! )
1 -2 tablespoons of The Sun is Shining (or spirulina)
1 tablespoon of organic peanut butter (optional)

Blend that all up until smooth and enjoy!

You can basically mix and match ANYTHING you want and be okay. The more you put, the thicker the smoothie will be. As you start making more of them and watching what you put everyday, you’ll get a good idea of what works for you. There is so much you can put into smoothies its incredible. Like I said, once you have your base, you can dump stuff in and it’ll still taste good! The ingredients above are just some of the things I put in my smoothies. Some days I put other stuff and substitute. All depends on what you feel like.

The best part is, they taste GREAT and they make you feel GREAT.

marketers block, maui, the new crib, and manifestation

I haven’t posted new content to this blog in a while because I’ve been running around the last couple weeks. First went to Maui for a week for a MUCH NEEDED break. Then I moved into a pimp new house on the beach. Every marketer and business owner needs to take a break to get away and just not think about shit before they get busy again. It’s kind of like producers block and writers block. Sometimes you’re just don’t feel like doing anything so that’s when you should not think about a damn thing related to what you do everyday and just get away. When I used to make music all the time, I would have days where I would not have inspiration or creativity at all in making the music. No ideas, nothing. So I would just not even look at any of my music equipment for days or even weeks until I got the “urge” to make music again.

In the internet marketing world I called this “Marketers block” or “Affiliate block”. Where you just have done so much work you get “burnt” and you can’t continue to do anything else and just sit on Twitter and Facebook all day. (both of which are a complete waste of time). Or you just sit around refreshing Gmail and your aff stats all day. When this happens, you either have to just step away for a couple hours. If it gets to the point where you are doing day after day after day, JUST LEAVE. Don’t think about it for a while, a couple days, weeks, whatever.

This basically gives your brain some time to relax and realize what you really want to do. So when you DO get back into work mode you can be twice as effective in what you do.

So when this happened to me recently I just left and went to Maui for 6 days. Just to get away and be in a different environment. Away from everything. Sure I checked emails every now and then, but that’s okay. “Marketer’s” block doesn’t usually happen to me a lot because I absolutely love what I do, but when it does, it hits me hard.

Check out some pics from Maui:

While in Maui, I decided to rent a new place and get a complete change of scenery for when I get back to Cali. I signed the papers from the resort and faxed them back to the real estate agent. I came home and the next day I started packing and moved out.

Anyway, a couple people hit me up on FB and Twitter asking me about my new house. This place is bad (”not bad meaning bad, but bad meaning good”) and I figured this was the only time I would be able to live in a ridiculous place like this. My front yard is the beach! The place is 4 bedrooms, super contemporary modern, glass everywhere (even the steps), a retractable roof, and just pure gangstaness.

Who said affiliate/cpa marketing is dead?

That’s not the only thing we do at the company, but it’s a huge piece.

Anyway, here are some pics of the new house that I took from my iPhone. They aren’t the best pics in the world, but decent. Check it -

Speaking of this new house, here is another thing that caught me off guard. I always write stuff down in my notepads. Everything related to my business and my personal development is written down in this notebook. I have 10 of these things full of ideas, biz stuff, thoughts, doodles, and other cool stuff. Check out this list I made about 5 months ago (I blurred some stuff out because those ideas are top secret.)

Now look at the first thing I wrote on that list. It actually came true. Just goes to show that visioning and writing down what you want in life works. I actually accomplished a lot on that list and just a couple more things to go!

aaaaaaaaaannnnnddddd i’m out. time to make more of my stuff reality.

Sunfood’s new site and GREAT smoothie recipe

Amish — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 00:07:55 +0000

So as some of you know, Larry and I work with www.sunfood.com. My biz partner, Larry had initially gone to a retreat in Eden Hot Springs, AZ and met with David Wolfe about a year ago.

We knew that their current website and marketing just sucked and they needed help. We were big fans and wanted to work with them, so we started talking to them and they wanted us to help them. So that’s exactly what we did.

We are HUGE fans of David Wolfe, his movement and Sunfood’s superfoods. David Wolfe is literally on the cutting edge of nutrition and is bringing some of the most powerful superfoods on the planet to you.

Changing the site completely to have a better look and feel along with a easier navigation flow was just part of what we are going to do with Sunfood. We are setting up an affiliate program through Commission Junction and it should ROCK. Check out www.sunfood.com and leave some feedback about the new site!

We got a long road ahead of us to make Sunfood the leader in super nutrition! The new website was the first step!

Speaking of superfoods, I have a GREAT smoothie every morning that has changed my life. It taste delicious and probably has more nutrients than an average person would get in a week. (I’m serious!) I get ALL these ingredients from sunfood.com and whole foods.
