My wife says I’m a creature of routine. I say routine is one of my secrets to success in everything I do. One of my favorite routines is having a brain healthy shake for breakfast. It is an absolute brain powerhouse with the following ingredients:
- Dr. Amen’s Brain Boost Mix—20 grams of rice protein, plus a wonderful mix of a multiple vitamin and brain nutrients (The protein boosts my focus and energy.)
- 20 ounces water (Did you know your brain is 80% water? This helps keep my brain adequately hydrated so I can think more quickly)
- 1 cup frozen organic blueberries (I prefer to call them brainberries. They enhance cognitive function.)
- 1 cup mixed fruit (These are super antioxidants that have anti-aging properties.)
- Cinnamon-flavored liquid stevia, a few drops (Cinnamon increases attention)
- 1 Scoop Green Vibrance freeze-dried greens (Lots of disease-fighting veggies in here to help keep me healthy.)
Just mix it all in a blender and pour in a glass. It’s so easy and so delicious! I get two servings out of this recipe, and it’s only 137 calories per serving.
I say it’s the perfect brain healthy way to start my day!
You can find this recipe and many more brain healthy breakfasts, lunches, dinners, snacks, and even desserts in the Change Your Brain, Change Your Body Cookbook.

I wish you would have said specifically what vitamins and nutrients you put in, and in what form. (i.e. liquid, or a pill). I’d really like to try this exactly the way you make it.
