   Here are some ideas for you.
   Throw in a handful of berries (1/2 cup), or an apple, peach, etc. and blend with the spirulina, wheatgrass and chlorophyll – 1 heaping tbsp combined powder to start
   Also try something like raw organic cacao powder, 1 heaping tbsp
   You can add in 1/2 cup to one cup water, fruit juice or rice milk, etc.
   If it’s not sweet enough, try some stevia, which is a sweetening herb that is actually good for you
   Carrots can also sweeten up the mixture a bit, blend them fine
   Ground flax seed for fibe and bulk – 1 heaping tbsp. (apple will also give some fibre).
   Experiment with different combinations of things
   Personally I find the grass juices too strong for my liking and take them in capsule form with water along with my smoothie.
   Other superfoods to consider, Maca, Goji Berry, Mangostein, Noni, Acai. You can add in 2 oz of any one of these to your blended drink, powder or liquid. Buy organic wherever you can.
   With smoothies you will know you have hit the optimal amount when you feel really energized and have a strong sense of well being. If you feel tired you will know to cut your dosages down a bit.
   You may also want to consider medicinal mushrooms like Reishi, Shitake, Maitake, Cordyceps, Chaga. Buy organic. With the mushrooms – they have to be hotwater extracted to get the full potency. Here’s some more info on medicinal mushrooms. http://www.jhsnp.com/store/products.html
   Another option is to buy them in your local Chinatown and boil them and drink the tea or put them in soups and stews.
   If you just want to try one type of mushroom, go with Reishi and plan to take it for at least six months. It is an adaptogenic herb with many benefits and particularly beneficial to the immune system.
   Hope this helps. To your good health!
