I love using THM's amino acid supplement, better known simply as "Essential"! The way that I use it the most is to toss it into my water and sip it during my workout. I love that my muscles are getting fed while I work!

I really don't mind the flavor, but not everyone enjoys it. I developed this simple recipe with that in mind! If you have been avoiding taking Essential because you don't enjoy the flavor, try this simple recipe!

Orange Julius-style Essential Drink

1 Tablespoon THM Essential Amino Acids

1 T. Baobab powder

one pinch of salt

1 cup unsweetened almond milk

splash of vanilla extract

1 peeled whole orange or large Cutie

Sweetener to taste (I use monk fruit)

Blend well in your blender. You can add ice if you would like it to be thicker/colder!
