A high-powered blender is a real pleasure in the kitchen, but if you prepare your smoothies carefully, you can use an ordinary blender. My favorite high-powered blender is a Blendtec, less expensive than a Vitamix and easy to use and clean.When loading any blender, add ingredients in the order of ease-of-blending. So that’s liquids first, then yogurt, then powder, then hard ingredients like ice or frozen fruit or liver. Hence, ingredients in these recipes will be presented in suggested order. Ice is not mentioned in the recipes, but you can always add ice cubes to thicken and make your drink colder. The range of liquids suggested is based on your personal preference and blender capability.
Note: You may discover that our vanilla flavored Superfuel is of significantly lighter flavor than the typical heavily-sweetened protein supplement. We are committed to offering the most authentic and easy-to-digest supplement, and thus reject intense and/or artificial sweetening strategies. You can certainly optimize your smoothie taste by adding other sources of sweetness/flavor, such as fruit, cinnamon, raw honey, vanilla extract, or even a bit of stevia or monk fruit extract.
Basic B.rad Superfuel Smoothie
- 1-1½ cups water or favorite liquid (bone broth, raw milk, kefir, coconut milk)
- 1-2 scoops Superfuel
- A few ice cubes
Ultimate B.rad Superfuel Smoothie
This is a super nutrient-dense way to start your day. I experiment with lots of different supplements, so I’ll toss whatever capsules I’m taking at a given time into the blender. It’s important to keep your organ intake consistent, so freezing liver chunks for smoothie is a great way to ensure this. However, liver does significantly influence the taste of the smoothie. You can try using only capsules, adding extra fruit to neutralize further, or consume the frozen chunks directly, heavily salted.
- 1-1½ cups favorite liquid (bone broth, raw milk, coconut milk)
- 1-2 scoops Superfuel
- 2-3 frozen banana chunks (~ ⅓ to ½ banana)
- Handful frozen grassfed liver chunks
- A few ice cubes
- 6 MOFO organ capsules
- 12 other Ancestral Supplements capsules (Fish Eggs, Blood Vitality, Bone Marrow, Prostate, Beef Organs, etc.)
- Note: You can just toss the capsules into the smoothie (without opening each one and dumping powder), because the edible gelatin encasement will break down.
Optional ingredients:
- Frozen fruit chunks (mango, papaya, pineapple, strawberry, blackberry, etc.)
- Coconut flakes
- Brad’s Macadamia Masterpiece nut butter
- Cinnamon
- Raw egg yolks
- Avocado
- Raw honey
- 5g extra creatine (for large, athletic types)
- 5g glutamine (for gut health)
- Other supplement capsules
- Green or red powder
Basic Fruity Superfuel Smoothie
- 1-1½ cups water or favorite liquid (bone broth, raw milk, coconut milk)
- 1-2 scoops Superfuel
- 2-3 frozen banana chunks (~ ⅓ to ½ banana)
- Handful frozen or fresh berries or tropical fruit (mango, pineapple, papaya)
- Handful ice cubes
Strawberry “Ice-Cream”
A spin on a classic favorite. Pro-tip: using less banana and half of one date helps soften the sweetness and decrease the banana flavor—when combined with vanilla-flavored Superfuel, this makes the strawberry flavor really come through and it really tastes like creamy strawberry ice cream. If you prefer a more strawberry-banana flavor, use half of one frozen banana and eschew the dates.
- ½-1 cup water or favorite liquid (bone broth, raw milk, coconut milk)
- 1/2 cup of full-fat coconut milk or any kind of yogurt (for healthy fats and to make a creamier texture)
- 1-2 scoops Superfuel
- ½ pitted Medjool date (or a small one, sizes vary)
- 2-3 frozen banana chunks (~ ⅓ to ½ banana)
- 1-2 cups frozen strawberries
Antioxidant Powerhouse
Frozen banana makes for a creamier texture but leaves a stronger flavor. Dates add sweetness, but without the specificity of a banana-type of flavor, but you do lose that thicker texture.
- ½-1 cup water or favorite liquid (bone broth, raw milk, coconut milk)
- ½ cup of full-fat coconut milk or any kind of yogurt (for healthy fats and to make a creamier texture)
- 1-2 scoops Superfuel
- ½ pitted Medjool date (or a small one, sizes vary)
- 2-3 frozen banana chunks (~ ⅓ to ½ banana)
- 1-2 cups frozen berries (blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries. When using strawberries, cutting bigger pieces in half will help them blend easier).
Chocolate Superfuel
- 1-1½ cups favorite liquid (bone broth, raw milk, coconut milk)
- 2 Tbsp yogurt or coconut milk
- 1-2 scoops of Superfuel
- 1 scoop cacao powder

- 2-3 frozen banana chunks (~ ⅓ to ½ banana)
Optional: flavoring—extra vanilla extract, cacao powder, or even pumpkin pie spice
Recovery Blend
Research reveals that athletes who drink cherry juice experience improved recovery of isometric muscle strength after intensive workouts. Some believe that the high levels of polyphenols (specifically flavonoids and anthocyanins) found in tart cherries helps lessen the oxidative damage induced by exercise.
