I've covered the relative merits of a variety of different proteins in a number of previous columns. The health effects of soy has also been a topic of examination in recent months here. It's a controversial and interesting subject matter indeed. Be well! JP Jan,

Thanks for sharing it! "Hiding" veggies in shakes is a great strategy too. I've found that spinach is a really good candidate for that. Raw spinach is so mild tasting and has such a smooth consistency when blended up. Be well! JP That looks like an excellent (and tasty) recipe, Dr. Axe. Thanks for sharing it!

One of my favorite breakfast recipes is a Berry Smoothie. I take: 1/3 can coconut milk 1 c. frozen berries 1 scoop protein powder or 2 raw, cage free eggs Cinnamon, Stevia and Vanilla to taste I've also found blending in veggies like kale or red cabbage is a great way to pack my smoothie full of nutrients. You hardly notice the difference! Glad to see your mention of coconut milk-I use it almost every day! One of my favorite breakfast recipes is a Berry Smoothie. I take:

I think your acceptance of a whole food diet is wonderful. It sounds like you've adapted to it in the best possible way. :) I especially like your incorporation of herbs and spices. They're generally very health promoting and fantastic sources of antioxidants and more! Be well! JP Thanks, Katschi!

I found that a change to whole foods revitalized my taste buds and has made the natural flavours in foods more appealing. I use spices a bit more ... herbes de provence in my egg white omelettes or chicken dishes. cinnamon in my protein pumpkin smoothies, nutmeg with my protein banana shakes. I also add more cocoa and vanilla in to my protein shakes as well. I use real butter now as opposed to butter sprays and that gives me wonderful mouthfeel when I eat my veggies. I've noticed a tremendous change in how sweet natural foods are since leaving behind sugar/sweeteners (for the most part ~ I still add 100% maple syrup to my oatmeal) Some things are almost naturally too sweet to me now which is quite amazing since I was indeed a sugar addict. A whole foods diet can be tremedously tasty and exciting to the tastebuds in my opinion. I'm so glad I was open for the change! I did not know of all the benefits of whey so thank you very much for that information! wonderful post as always. I must be one of the lucky ones.
