Recipe: Viking Greens

I constantly get asked about Diet and Nutrition. So I decided to share some of my recipes on here. The most notorious is the Viking Greens. I have been doing a version of this daily for the past three years and can be spotted with a full Nalgene bottle walking into work each morning. A very common response I get is “I don’t know how you drink that stuff, doesn’t it taste like S#@T?”. Well not to me as I am more concerned with performance rather than a quick reward. To me cake, candy, pasta and soda taste terrible because I know the short and long term effects it will have on my health and overall human performance. I always say intaking this nutrition gets my day started right and make me feel at least 10 % better.

I will recommend a high Performance blender either Vitamix or BlendTec; I was hesitant to purchase because they are not cheap but it has turned out to be by far one of the best investments I have ever made and have used it almost every day going on three years with no problem. If you are in southern California I will recommend Growers Direct to pick up your grown ingredients; high quality and cheap in price. I will load up every 5 days.
