A tall glass of brain food.
For the last few days I've made a blueberry-flax smoothie in the
morning, about the time I get the 10 o'clock hungries. With high levels of neuro-protective antioxidents, blueberries are excellent brain food, and
flax contains omega-3 fatty acids, also necessary for neuronal health.
I'm not sure,
but I think these smoothies are making me smarter. For instance, today I completed 19 Sodoku puzzles when I got up at five, and by six I was working on my morning ration of quadratic equations. After solving for X, I visualized world peace for a bit, then hacked my iPhone. My perfectly symmetrical Rubic's Cube sits on my desk, next to the work of staggering genius I hope to finish writing today, after another Blueberry Brain Boost.
It's really simple to make:
Grind 2 tablespoons of flax seeds in a blender. (You must grind them
first, else they won't get properly ground.) Add 1 cup frozen
blueberries and 1 cup soy milk. (If you prefer to use soy milk powder, add 2 tablespoons powder and 1 cup water.)
Whiz for 30 seconds or so. Add a
sweetener if you like. And if you have a banana, you can add that too,
but I've been out of bananas the last few days.
Disclaimer: I do not actually own an iPhone, and it may come as a surprise, but much of the rest of this tale isn't entirely true. That bit about the Rubic's Cube, for instance. I don't own one of those either.
