This recipe is from Adelle Davis' book "Let's Have Healthy Children."
She recommends you drink 1/4 - 1/2 cup 6 times daily during pregnancy.
It is also useful for increasing your milk supply while nursing.
2 Cup fresh whole milk
1/2 Cup non-instant powdered skim milk
1 Tbl food yeast (I assume this is Brewer's or nutritional yeast), gradually increased to 1/4 or 1/2 cup
1 Tsp real vanilla
1 Tbl of vegetable oil, or a combination of soy, corn, safflower
1/2 Cup of your favorite fruit, such as banana, crushed or chunk pineapple
1 or 2 raw eggs (unless you prefer themcooked)
1/2 egg shell or 1/2 tsp bone meal or 2 tbs calcium gluconate or 1 tbs calciumlactate or carbonate (unless you prefer tablets)
1 Tbl lecithin if desired
1/4 Tsp magnesium oxide, add to a serving immediately before drinking
"When these ingredients have been well blended, add the remainder of a
quart of milk. Until Pep-Up is familiar to you, use only a little
yeast, calcium, and lecithin, and sip slowly no more than 1/4 cup at
each meal and mid-meal. Gradually increase these quantities. I
personally prefer to take lecithin stirred into juice and to get my
calcium and magnesium from tablets."
My personal
modifications: I am experimenting with substituting soy protein powder
for the skim milk. The recommendation on the canister says "1 scoop per
8 oz. of milk." This makes too thick of a drink for me to actually
drink. I think 2 scoops per quart of milk would be fine. If you use a
flavored soy powder, I would omit the vanilla from the recipe. Also,
lecithin granules do not dissolve in the milk, but they don't seem to
make the drink gritty. And in place of the egg shell and magnesium, I
am using a liquid cal/mag that I got at the health food store. |
