Blue Green Algae Powder or Flakes

Hover over photo for larger image	Blue-Green Algae contains the broadest array of phyto-nutrients of any known algae, including rare trace elements, biologically active enzymes, amino acids, essential fatty acids, B12, chlorophyll, Phenylethylamine (PEA), glycol-proteins, complex sugars, vitamins and minerals.* Due to the algae's nutritious soft cell wall, these nutrients are readily available to the body. Blue-Green Algae are high in amino acids and other brain chemistry compounds by virtue of their unique ability to metabolize nitrogen directly from the air to produce amino acids and other nitrogen compounds. Blue-Green algae are also among the world’s highest naturally occurring sources of protein (50- 60%).  100% complete plant protein (does NOT form high uric acid like all animal proteins do).  Supports immune system, brain, joint, nervous, and kidney function* along with physical energy, stamina and a positive and focused mental state*.

Recipes Using Blue Green Algae

Add to your favorite smoothies, sprinkle on salads, or mix in water to taste. Start slowly to avoid cleansing reactions.  Begin with 1/4 tsp (or less) in pure water, fresh juice, or a smoothie.  Increase slowly to 1 or more tablespoons per day.  

It is also a great additive to Chocolate Bliss and Green Crackers ...

1 Blender of Chocolate Bliss / Smoothie

4½ Cups	pure water
½ Cup	Chocolate Bliss mix (or 6 Tbsp if you like it less chocolatey)	$5 + S/H
½ Cup	Vanilla Agave Nectar (or substitute about 10 Medjool dates or 6 Tablespoons honey if you are getting the Chocolate Bliss sample pack and don't have Agave)	$25 + S/H

Blend until smooth (works best in a Vita-Mix or other high powered blender). You may also desire to make a thicker smoothie by adding fresh or frozen fruit (we like bananas) and/or activated nuts (cashews or walnuts are particularly yummy). Chill and shake well before drinking. Enjoy!

1 Gallon of Chocolate Bliss - Standard Recipe

3 Cups	pure water (Bliss blends best with this much water but you can do more or less to make it work in your blender ... you'll be adding more water soon)
1½ Cups	Chocolate Bliss mix (or 1 1/4 Cup if you like it less chocolatey)	$50 + S/H
1¼ Cups	Vanilla Agave Nectar (or 1 Cup if you like it less sweet)	$25 + S/H

1-4 tsp Rain Forest Rush The easiest blend of greens, adaptogenic stimulants and supportive nutrients. Great natural replacement for caffeine. $50 + S/H 1-3 Tbsp Tocotrienols Creates a creamier, frothier bliss - more like milk chocolate, high in natural vitamin E $20 + S/H 1-3 tsp Pristine Guarana An adaptogenic that gives your bliss a mocha-like flavor and helps you energetically focus $40 + S/H ½ - 1 tsp Pristine Yerba Matte An adaptogenic that tastes a little like green-tea and helps you have relaxed awareness $35 + S/H 1-3 Tbsp Vitamineral Green For adding even more greens to your diet while still preserving the chocolatey goodness taste $60 + S/H ½ - 1 tsp Mesquite Powder Adds a cinnamon flavor to Bliss and even more minerals and superfood benefits.

Our Personal Chocolate Bliss Recipe

We make a gallon of Chocolate Bliss in order to reduce time in the kitchen. This recipe will last in the fridge for about 7 days. We like the flavors of the added superfoods and the superfood benefits. Yummy!

3 Cups	pure water (Bliss blends best with this much water but you can do more or less to make it work in your blender ... you'll be adding more water soon)
1 Cups	Vanilla Agave Nectar	$25 + S/H
1¼ Cups	Chocolate Bliss mix	$50 + S/H
1 Tbsp	Bee Pollen Great for B Vitamins and a slightly floral taste and many other as yet unknown benefits of bee superfoods	$30 + S/H
1 Tbsp	Tocotrienols Creates a creamier, frothier bliss - more like milk chocolate, high in natural vitamin E	$20 + S/H
1 Tbsp	Pristine Guarana An adaptogenic that gives your bliss a mocha-like flavor and gives you more energy and focus	$40 + S/H
1 tsp	Pristine Yerba Matte An adaptogenic that tastes a little like green-tea and gives you more blissful state of awareness and relaxation	$35 + S/H
1 Tbsp	Vitamineral Green We don't always add this in - like every other gallon depending on how many greens we're eating outside of our Bliss. Do NOT heat your Bliss if you add in greens (ew)	$60 + S/H

Green Crackers

2 Cups	Golden Flax Seeds
2 Cups	Sunflower Seeds (soaked and rinsed)
2 Tbsp	Sun Dried Tomatoes
1/2 Tbsp	Vitamineral Green mixed greens powder	$60 + S/H
1/2 Tbsp	Blue-Green Algae	$30 + S/H
1/2 Cup	Dulse Seaweed	$35 + S/H
1 tsp	Sun Fire Salt	$20 + S/H
1/2 tsp	Fiesta Mole	$50 + S/H
1 tsp	Curry powder
1/2 tsp	Chipotle powder
5 Cups	Water

Grind flax seeds on their own in a food processor or dry container of a high-powered blender until they are a rough flour consistency. Pour into a mixing bowl.

Blend all other ingredients in a high-powered blender with 1/2 of the water, adding the water as needed to allow the blender to create a smooth texture.

Mix flax seeds and green mixture and any remaining water. Spread thinly (for maximum crispiness) on teflex dehydrator sheets. Recipe makes enough to fill a large dehydrator (my Good4u 10 tray dehydrator) with thin and crispy crackers.

Dehydrate at 145 degrees for 20 minutes to evaporate the water off, then turn it down to 110 and dehydrate until your desired consistency (shorter = moister/breadier, longer = crunchy/crispy).

After it's been dehydrating for a while (about 10-12 hours), the top of the batter should look dry. To dry the bottom, take each teflex sheet with the batter attached, flip it over onto the mesh tray, then peel the teflex sheet off and leave the batter on the mesh tray so the wet side is facing up. If there's any residue on the teflex, scrape it off with a spoon and smooth it out onto the rest of the cracker. You can also watch the video of how this is done.

This is my new favorite cracker! It gives me all the greens I need while still tasting nice and salty/spicy/crunchy ... just like I like it. Try it to dip into Yemiah's Creamy Spinach Dip. Yumm ... Enjoy!

Laura's Bliss Kisses

4 Tbsp	Mayan Gold Cacao (Chocolate) Powder or Chocolate Bliss powder	$25 + S/H
4 Tbsp	Tocotrienols	$20 + S/H
¼ tsp	Sun Fire Salt	$20 + S/H
1½ Tbsp	Vanilla Agave Nectar	$25 + S/H
1½ Tbsp	Coconut Oil or Cacao Butter	$18 + S/H
Optional:
1 Tbsp	Chia Seeds	$18 + S/H
1 Tbsp	Goji Berries	$21 + S/H
1 Tbsp	Cacao Nibs	$10
½ tsp	Vitamineral Green or Blue-Green Algae	$60 + S/H
2 drops	Orange Essential Oil
3/4 tsp	Cinnamon

Stir the dry ingredients together in a bowl. If you are including any of the optional ingredients, add them in now too. If you decide to add any of the powdered greens, I suggest you also add the orange essential oil or cinnamon to cover any potential "green flavor".

Add the Coconut Oil and Agave Nectar and stir. It works best and is more fun to get your hands into the mix now and really mush all the ingredients together so that the oil and agave bind the dry ingredients well.

Create small teaspoon-size drops of the mixture and place them on wax paper. You can see pictures of the size and yummy messiness. You will get about 10 little bliss kisses per recipe. Freeze your bliss kisses for best taste and longevity, though you may find that after licking your fingers you desire to eat them all up quickly.

You can also use Carob in your bliss kisses to make a sweeter kiss. Try using half Cacao and half Carob or substituting Carob for the Tocotrienols in the recipe.

For an extra-creamy and more truffle-like bliss kiss that can sit out at room temperature, substitute Cacao Butter for the Coconut Oil. Mmmmmm. Enjoy!
