Quinn - Supplement
Cancer Shake
Put in blender:
1 1/2 c. plain yogurt
1 banana
pack it as full as I can with spinach (sometimes I add some chard or kale)
Add about 1/2 c. water and 1/2 t. stevia (maybe a little more...to taste--but if you use too much it has a metallic/bitter aftertaste.)
Blend till smooth
Then add at least 2 cups frozen fruit
Probably the very best tasting is the frozen berries from Costco
This also turns the shake purple instead of green.
