Many people begin their day with a "Green" Drink mix, and find it an energizing way to start the day. Some people also call that breakfast, which is where a drink mix like PROVIDE proves very useful.
We all know the value of Green Drinks: they detoxify and alkalize the body, and provide subtle nutrients, not found in regular vitamin and mineral pills. These elements include antioxidants, enzymes, trace minerals and flavonoids. What many people do not realize is that, as we approach middle age, our body starts using our muscle as fuel when we skip breakfast. Eating protein first thing in the day is one of the two most critical times to ingest protein, the other being post-exercise, when the body also tends towards muscular wasting.
PROVIDE offers the benefits of a Green drink, along with PROTEIN, FIBER and BERRIES. A healthful start to your day, especially when you don’t have time for a proper breakfast. PROVIDE is a tasty snack any time of the day and a wonderful way to end the day, without fattening carbs.

THE BENEFITS OF PROVIDE SMOOTHIE
PROTEIN COMPLEX
Our cross-flow cold micro-filtered whey protein isolate preserves the micro-fractions of whey that raise glutathione levels in the body. This enhances the body’s immune and detoxification functions. This process also reduces lactose levels to less than 3%, making it suitable for most of those who are lactose-intolerant. Along with the protein from the flax seed, each serving of PROVIDE contains more protein than 2 large eggs.
FIBER COMPLEX
PROVIDE offers over 5 grams of mixed soluble and insoluble fibers per serving. These fibers include Flax seed, Oat fiber and Inulin. Fiber supplementation has been clinically proven to aid in weight loss programs and cholesterol lowering regimens. Fiber provides a sense of fullness, aids in regularity, as well as binding cholesterol and toxins in the intestines, and removing them from the body. Inulin increases friendly bacteria in the gut, and inhibits bad bacteria (eg. E. coli) from reproducing. It also has been shown to aid in calcium absorption. Flax lignans remove excess estrogens from the body, thus balancing estrogen metabolism in both men and women. Lignans have also demonstrated anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal effects.
GREENS COMPLEX
PROVIDE contains Barley Grass Juice concentrate, rather than the cheaper whole powdered plant. Barley Grass is rich in vitamins, minerals and enzymes, including the powerful anti-oxidant enzymes S.O.D. and Catalase. Spirulina contains every known nutrient, except vitamin C, is high in GLA (an essential fatty acid), B-12 and is an immune supportive. Chlorella is another nutritional algae, which is an even more dramatic detoxifier than Spirulina. These powerful green foods are all rich in chlorophyll which helps cleanse, detoxify and alkalize the body.
BERRY COMPLEX
Berries are richer in antioxidants than vegetables. Antioxidants protect against free radical damage, the cause of cancer, heart disease and premature aging (including mental decline).
Bilberry: Known mostly for its’ ability to protect the eyes, Bilberry also improves circulation and protects the heart.
Blueberry: The most powerful of all fruits and vegetables for antioxidant activity. It is also helpful for stabilizing blood sugar levels.
Cherry: Cherries have been used in folk medicine to reduce uric acid levels in conditions of gout. But they also contain powerful natural anti-inflammatory compounds beneficial for all types of arthritis. Cherries are a natural source of melatonin.
Cranberry: Commonly used to treat and prevent bladder and prostate infection, it has recently been discovered that Cranberries help reduce the risk of heart disease by reducing total and LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels.
Elderberry: Rich in vitamins and flavonoids, Elderberry is an excellent immune supportive with clinically proven anti-viral properties.
Grape Seed Extract: A more powerful antioxidant than vitamins C and E, Grape Seed Extract also strengthens connective tissues, especially capillaries and veins.
WEIGHT LOSS AND PROVIDE
All the components of PROVIDE contribute to weight loss programs.
Protein: Maintains muscle mass, preventing muscular wasting, and contributing to building muscle after exercise. Muscle burns fat.
Fiber: Cleans the colon, detoxifying and improving nutrient absorption. Satisfies the appetite and stabilizes blood sugar levels.
Greens: Detoxifies and balances the acid-alkaline levels in the body.
Berries: Recent studies have found a relationship between obesity and low levels of antioxidants.
Eating infrequently slows the metabolism of the body down. Eating small meals, more frequently (4 to 6 times per day), encourages the metabolism to speed up, thereby burning more calories. Using PROVIDE once or twice per day, between meals, can facilitate this process.
Suggested Use:
PROVIDE SMOOTHIE is a multi-purpose drink powder that mixes easily into your favorite beverage. It can be used as a pick-me-up in the morning, or as a quick meal when you don’t have time to cook. Simply add one scoop of PROVIDE to 8 oz (250ml) or more of liquid (water, juice, milk, soymilk, rice milk, etc), stir, shake and enjoy. Also mixes easily into yogurt. When using PROVIDE as a substitute for a meal, it is most effective to add a tablespoon of flaxseed oil (or a blended nutritional oil) to each serving. This slows the transit time of the protein, keeping it in the stomach longer, thereby satisfying the appetite for a few hours.
