Wild Blueberry Zen Basil Smoothie

1½ cups ice

1 cup water or milk of choice

4 oz goat cheese (optional, creamy whole-food addition)

Why This Is Food Intelligence

I don’t choose isolated nutrients—like protein powders or extracted fibers—because food doesn’t function in isolation.

When nutrients are stripped, concentrated, and recombined, they lose:

• Their cofactors

• Their synergy

• Their biological intelligence

Whole foods arrive complete.

Zen Basil Seeds Deliver (in one seed):

• Complete protein and fiber (soluble + insoluble)

• Calcium, potassium, magnesium, manganese, and iron

• Polyphenols, flavonoids, and antioxidants

• Omega-3s that convert more efficiently than chia seeds (based on peer‑reviewed research)

Wild Blueberries

Contribute powerful polyphenols and anthocyanins that support metabolic and cellular resilience.

Goat Cheese

A protein tactic—it’s simply a real food that brings protein, fats, minerals, and amino acids together the way nature intended.

The Takeaway

This smoothie isn’t about numbers on a label.
It’s about respecting how the body processes food.

❌ No powders
❌ No isolated nutrients
❌ No complicated marketing strategy

✅ Just Food Intelligence—whole foods working together, naturally.
