Protein Shakes
!
Protein shakes are pretty straightforward; make a
combination of flavors you like and add protein sources.
Nothing but Nutrients likes to fortify all shakes with super
foods- foods that are found around the world that have
OUTSTANDING nutrient content of minerals, vitamins,
amino acids and bonus features like energy boosters, brain
power and stamina builders.
Adding dairy or the products of dairy to protein shakes
disrupts the absorption process in the stomach and
intestines. Due to the mucus build up that will line the walls
of these organs, absorption is hindered and for almost all
people, the body will begin to fight the “invader” of dairy,
lowering the immune system and leaving you vulnerable to
getting sick with a cold, allergies or even the flu.
This process can happen in a day or in a couple of weeks of
using dairy in your shakes, but it WILL happen.
So let’s stay powerful, healthy, and keep that advantage
over your competition!
Happy Sipping!

What do these shake ingredients do?????
Some of these ingredients will seem expensive to purchase, especially if you are stocking up for the first time. But
understand these are pure foods, with unbelievable nutrient packed benefits and are targeted for optimal nutrition,
health and are highly enhancing to sport performance (the legal way).
The first 12 ingredients are the base for almost every shake we have formulated specifically for our athletes, the
other ingredients can be added to your shakes over time for even more sports enhancing benefits.
Ice = the cool factor. The only purpose ice serves in these shakes and smoothies is
to have it be a cool tasty treat.
Banana = the sweetener. Bananas are best known for their Potassium content.
Bananas also contain great levels of Vitamin C, Vitmain B6 and fiber.
N ut M ilks (Almond, Coconut, Hazelnut or Coconut water) = the base.
Nut Milks are loaded with vitamins and minerals NATURALLY, and contain no
hormones and antibiotics like dairy! They DO contain magnesium, selenium,
manganese, potassium, fiber, iron, zinc, phosphorous, CALCIUM, and vitamin E.
Raw O rganic Cacao Pow der = targets the heart. A super antioxidant,
cacao opens veins + arteries, puts oxygen into the muscles and brain, and contains so
many minerals and vitamins that I could fill 2 pages with data!!! SUPER FOOD!
M aca Pow der= Muscle builder and repairer. Maca has been used for centuries
for strength + endurance and is a giant in defending the body against stress. According
to much research, Maca increases energy, oxygen in the blood, physical strength,
neurotransmitter production, supports the endocrine system, the adrenals and the
thyroid. It improves mood and healthy hormone production.
Raw H em p Pow der = PURE DIGESTABLE COMPLETE PROTEIN- This is why
our NBN shakes are SUPERIOR to any other protein shake made with whey or brown
rice! Raw Hemp Powder is known by leading researchers and doctors to be considered
one of the most nutritious food sources on the planet! PACKED with all the essential
amino acids and essential fatty acids and it is EASILY DIGESTABLE. Rich in iron, vitamin E, Omega-3 and
Omega-6 fatty acids, lecithin (for brain and liver health), the super duper anti-inflammatory GLA,
phosphorous (for bone density), Potassium (the action mineral), Magneseum (opens over 300 different
detoxification pathways in the body), calcium (relaxes the digestive tract and muscular system, removes
toxins -only the plant based calcium!!!), and more!
Vanilla Pow der/ or Pure Vanilla Extract = makes it yummier
Vanilla powder contains trace minerals such as calcium, magnesium, potassium,
manganese and iron- good for heart, blood pressure and production of red blood cells.
Arete Strength 34700 Pacific Coast Highway #104, Capo Beach Ca 92624 949.542.5100 Cell# 949.274.0916 [email protected]
!
Raw Nuts= the grounder. Nuts add a body to any shake and a good fat. Each
different type of nut has its own super power, so constantly change it up. Besides, it
gives you a crunchy texture that is tactfully satisfying.
Shredded Coconut= the absorber. Coconut, besides tasting fantastic, is a good fat
and makes omega 3 penetrate into body, supports the immune system, thyroid gland,
the nervous system, skin and gives fast energy that increases your metabolism for
weight loss.
Cinnamon= subtle taste enhancer. Cinnamon has anti-inflammatory properties
Cacao N ibs= targets the heart and is a SUPER antioxidant. (same benefits as the
powder, but crunchier)
Cacao Butter= an essential fat. Cacao butter is a great fat; it allows the absorption
of all these super foods to go directly to the cells and start taking action. Filled also with
all the benefits of cacao powder!!!
Spirulina = PROTEIN. Spirulina is a massive nutrient rich food source, massive
immune booster, loads of minerals, vitamins and antioxidants, makes body more
alkaline –aka it is an anti-cancer super food. Use as a powder or take as a
supplement.
M arine Phytoplankton* = Super Athlete food! Enhances brain function,
improved immune function, antiviral, antifungal, antibacterial qualities, improves
cellular repair, radiation protection and detoxification, anti-inflammatory support,
antioxidant support, improves circulation, improves the heart function, allergy/asthma
relief, suppression of symptoms stemming from degenerative disease AND the extremely high levels of
chlorophyll content increases oxygen uptake that fuels muscles, improving performance and endurance.
Lucum a Pow der = sweetener from the Lucuma fruit. I love the taste of this
powder, it’s like maple syrup ice cream. Lucuma is high in beta carotene, iron and niacin
(B3), fiber, and calcium. Even though high in an amazing sweet flavor, it is low in sugar.
Arete Strength 34700 Pacific Coast Highway #104, Capo Beach Ca 92624 949.542.5100 Cell# 949.274.0916 [email protected]
!
M esquite Pow der = Another source of protein (11-17% protein)! Mesquite
powder contains an impressive amount of minerals, but especially high in
magnesium, calcium-the kind that REALLY builds strong bones, lysine, potassium,
iron, zinc and dietary fiber. Good for balancing blood sugars. Good for thyroid issues.
Aloe Vera Pulp = targets digestion health, anti-inflammatory properties, and
keeps blood sugars stable. Contains Vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, C and E. It also contains a
fantastic source of Folic acid and Niacin, calcium, iron, potassium and zinc.
** Good for athletes with Digestion/ absorption issues
Pure O rganic Coconut O il = good fat and makes omega 3 penetrate into
body, supports the immune system, thyroid gland, the nervous system, skin and fast
energy that increases your metabolism for weight loss.
Chia seeds = CALCIUM FOR STRONG BONES! More calcium by weight than whole
milk without the nasty health side effects, targets the blood sugar, keeps it level, keeps
you regular –if you know what I mean, rich in Omega 3 _more than salmon, complete
protein=energy, keeps you young looking= super antioxidant, so nutrient rich stops food
cravings, no flavor means they can taste anyway you want, and they are cheap to buy,
M ucuna Pruriens* = Awesome for balancing blood sugar and promotes a
natural increase in HGH (human growth hormone) meaning stimulates muscle growth,
increases lean muscle mass, improves sleep, reduces body fat, improves mood & a
sense of well-being, increases energy levels, improves cholesterol profile, stimulates a
regeneration of organs (heart, liver, kidney & lungs), improves immune system and
decreases wrinkles-it’s the fountain of youth!

Not All Protein Powders are Created Equal
The most confusing and stressful component to any training program
is selecting a supplemental protein powder to obtain lean body mass, weight
gain, and proper nutrients for recovery.
!
The sport performance protein powder business is a 10.6 billion
dollar industry and each and every product promises amazing weight and
muscle gain, and that their product is the best one on the market. With all
that money comes the ability to hire your own doctors, lab researchers, and
marketing departments; all who are invested in the profits of the corporation.
The one thing no corporation can buy is the scientific, biological fact of how the body will react to any
of the products out there; good or bad. You can manipulate the body with steroids, trick it with chemicals for
hormone mimicry and stimulation, and be persuaded by testimonials whose motivations for their
“experiences” will most likely not be revealed.
But let’s not get too political. At Arete Strength, we want the best for our athletes. We will always choose
the health of our athletes as priority #1, but it is ultimately the decision of the athlete.
What you must consider in selecting a protein powder is the conversion rate of amino acids to protein; also
does your body have the ability to convert the amino acids to protein efficiently.
Whey Protein: If you want to take a whey protein powder, buy the top of the line, most pure of pure product
ever: Organic, grass fed, cold processed (low heat) pure whey without any casein proteins or milk
isolates or soybean/ oil. According to the Journal of Biochemistry, whey protein does promote muscular
protein synthesis. Whey protein is a fast-digesting protein and is absorbed into the body in as little as an
hour. Some whey protein powders contain casein (milk protein). Casein, a slow-digesting protein- due to
its large sized molecule- and can take as long as seven hours to digest. This length of time to digest is
what makes most people feel bloated or gassy, among many other symptoms and also creates a toxic
sludge in the intestines, not what we would like to see in our athletes. If you have a blood type “O” or “A”,
chances are that you will have a more difficult time converting the casein protein easily to anything, and it
will disrupt the digestive system; it takes a lot of energy from your body to deal with what the body reads as
a toxin.
Will you still see results? Maybe, it depends on how your body tolerates, processes, and assimilates the
protein molecules. Many people can tolerate pure whey protein powders, but most will experience negative
symptoms such as gas, bloating, ingestion, acne, poor sleep, headaches, irritability, or mood swings. The
best way to see if your body can process the whey or casein protein molecule is to have a blood test by US
Laboratories for a test called the LEAF MRT or simply MRT, (both of which can be ordered by Arete
Strength.)
Dairy products and bi-products are also very acidic in the body, and your goal as an elite athlete is to
maintain an alkaline body for optimum recovery from training and developing strong, functional muscles. So
if you choose whey protein, be sure to focus on balancing your nutritional health by consuming a lot of high
alkaline foods such as veggies, fruits and Arete Athlete shakes like the Chocolate Monkey.
For information on the top Whey proteins, see Coach Erik or Coach Jennifer for a list of Arete Approved Whey
Proteins!

!"#$%&#!'%&#()*+,!-.#/(#.!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!01#2!0%.!31&/+!4#.5%.&/+$#!
Soy protein: Soy protein powders have a lot of issues to consider, for example, for humans, soy is a toxin;
it slows down the metabolism, and has hormonal estrogen effects on the body. Not to mention it is one of
the top 2 most chemically treated and Genetically Modified plants on earth; and frankly it should not be
consumed, period.
Raw Hemp protein: Hemp that is raw and unprocessed, is an amazing source of essential amino acids and
omega fatty acids with fiber and is best suited for human assimilation. In addition to the 15-23% protein
content of hemp, it also contains essential minerals including Calcium, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium
and Sulphur. Hemp seeds also provide Essential Fatty Acids (EFA’s), Linoleic Acid (LA), and Linolenic Acid
(LNA); as well as containing Gamma Linolenic acid (GLA).
If you have kidney, liver, or digestive issues, then hemp protein is the best source of protein over whey or
soy. Raw Hemp Protein powders are very nutrient dense, and therefore, you will not have to consume
massive amounts as in a Whey protein powder protocol; mostly because the body can convert and utilize
hemp more readily in the body.
Hemp Proteins are very easy to digest and absorbed by the body. The conversion from amino acids to
protein is seamless, and due to the bonus of fiber, your system remains high functioning without acidity!
Brown Rice Proteins and Yellow Pea Proteins are also high quality, and are very similar to hemp’s
nutritional power; not to mention they are low in allergic reactions, easily digestible, and again convert easily
in the body. Sun Warrior Protein Powder is a good rice based protein powder for athletes and it contains a
power punch of nutrients. Vega Sport and all Vega products also have amazing amounts of nutrients,
probiotics, and are easily absorbed in the system. Let’s face it, if your gut and lower intestines are not
healthy and absorbing nutrients, your body will not gain lean muscle mass efficiently, your neurological
system will be slower, and your organs will not function optimally.
A bonus of consuming hemp, rice or pea protein is that it does not contain any of the hormones, antibiotics,
or chemicals associated with animals and their by-products.
The final decision is ultimately up to you, the athlete. As your coaches, it is our job to give you the most
accurate and informed facts about nutrition we can and with that being said, the foods and beverages you
choose throughout the day should always coincide with your goal.
Make no mistake, this is a very in-depth topic and has many layers. For more details and much more
information, please see and stay tuned for our additional videos and interviews on this topic and many more
like it.

Protein Bars:
Always select protein bars that pack the most
nutrients. There are a lot of tasty protein bars
that do the same protein punch, without whey
protein or soy protein. Here are a few:
NuGO FREE- Gluten Free Dark Chocolate Trail Mix bar- tastes like a
chocolate covered chewy granola bar, super tasty.
NuGO FREE- Gluten Free Dark Chocolate Crunch- tastes like a
chocolate covered rice crispy treat!
NuGO FREE- Gluten Free Carrot Cake bar- this is a sweet one, but it is
like a carrot cake with icing.
Zing Bars- taste like candy bars
These bars are found at Mother’s, Whole Foods, GNC, Health food stores, Stella Lucy (San Clemente),
Sprouts, and Hanson’s Natural Market (San Clemente).
Energy bars and Raw Food BarsSome of these bars do have protein, but mostly they are packed with a great supply of
vitamins, minerals and good old-fashioned energy boosting properties.
• Pure bars (found everywhere, Trader Joes, Whole Foods, Mothers, and Sprouts)
• Kind Bars- read ingredients; there are some with chocolate and yogurt on
them. (found everywhere)
• Macrolife Bars; Miracle Reds Berri Berri Bar, Macrogreen Apple

Salt- It’s ELECTROFYING!
Proper salt intake is essential to a properly
operating and hydrated body, yes, salt! If
you were to eat a person- uh… gross- we
would be a salty meal. In proportion to
size, we have the same measurement of
salt in our bodies (if we are optimally
healthy), as the ocean. But not any salt.
Mineral rich salt.
You all have heard of electrolytes, it’s
what Gatorade prides itself on.
Electrolytes are what are created when a
mineral salt and water get together and
begin to conduct electricity for your cells. Gatorade, however, fell to the
waste side of sugary drinks because they wanted to appeal the
consumers of soda, so they added food coloring and sugar; high fructose
corn syrup too. What was once a sport drink is now a hybrid soda/ sport
drink. Here’s a cheaper and far superior sport drink for everyone- athletes,
people who are seeking optimum health, and even children.
Recipe:
A glass of filtered water, a tiny pinch of Himalayan Pink Sea Salt or a High
Quality Sea Salt (like Celtic Sea Salt) and that’s it.
Yes, that’s it. Here’s a comparison of Himalayan Pink Sea Salt / High
Quality Sea Salt and regular table salt. You will clearly see the 2 types of
salts are nothing alike and do the complete opposite for your health.
How much Himalyan Sea Salt should you put in your body?
The human body needs only as little as 500mg of sodium per day or 1/4
teaspoon of Original Himalayan Crystal Salt®. The USDA recommends no more
than 2,500mg per day and of course never differentiates what type of salt; 2500
mg of table salt is toxic.
We tend to use too much salt than too little as the average American uses more
than 5,000mg per day and that is being very conservative.
As opposed to refined table salt, you can use Himalayan Sea Salt more freely

because of its holistic properties,
which make it easy for the body to
assimilate. This doesn’t mean eat a
brick of salt a day; it just means you
may season your food to taste when
cooking and not stress out about it as
much as table salt or worst the
amount in processed foods, frozen
foods and fast foods. Anything in a weird overdose amount is not within the
guidelines of natural. The Original Himalayan Crystal Salt® can even help the
body to eliminate the stored refined salt deposits.
!
Himalayan Sea Salt
•
84 minerals in an ionic form-, which is
molecular. Meaning it is more easily
absorbed and useable.
•
Small in size, it is absorbed right
through the stomach lining before
digestion (especially on an empty
stomach)
•
•
•
•
!
!
!
!
When added to water becomes
electrical in nature and no longer
molecular- this puts energy into our
cells and body
HYDRATES THE CELLS OF THE BODY –
preventing dehydration, muscle
cramps, aging of skin cells, and
hydrates and charges the brain
Loaded with Minerals; the
foundational nutrient in bodies.
Studies show everyone with a
disease has at least 1 major mineral
deficiency; this includes bodies
tested whose death was by natural
causes.
Over 250 million yrs old and found
deep under ground long before
pollutants. No chemicals added or
preservatives needed.
Table Salt/ Kosher Salt
•
Void of minerals in a colloidal formMeaning it is difficult to digest and
requires a lot of energy to break
down, depleting cells of energy
•
Large in size, it is not easily
absorbed into the body.
•
When added to water, it does not
conduct any electricity for cells to
operate on
•
DEHYDRATES THE CELLS OF THE
BODY- it is not at the organic mineral
electrolyte size
•
Table salt is 97.5% sodium chloride
and 2.5% chemicals used to absorb
moisture and prevent clumping. It is
also dried at temps over 1200
degrees Fahrenheit that alters its
natural chemical structure
•
Aluminum hydroxide is added to
allow salt to pour freely- has been
linked to Alzheimers Disease

The body now tries to isolate table salt.
In this process, water molecules
surround the sodium chloride in order to
ionize it into sodium and chloride to
neutralize it. For this process, the water
is extracted from our cells and the body
has to sacrifice its most precious cell
water in order to neutralize sodium
chloride. In doing so, the dehydrated

True sea salt will have different colors
and specks in it, which show you the
various minerals that are in there! If it’s
pure white, you’ll know it’s probably
refined and bleached.
** Mortons Salt (the salt with the little
girl with an umbrella) contains Brominehumans cannot process bromine and it
is a natural toxin!
** If you eat processed foods, you are
consuming table salt and liquid
chemical salts up to 6000 mg a DAY! If
fast food is your usual choice for a quick bite, the salt you consume rises up
to 10,000 mg a DAY!
Research shows that over use of table salt, or synthetic salts are associated with:
• Strokes
• Irregular heart beats
• Heart palpitations
• Calcium deficiency and osteoporosis
• Fluid retention
• Weight gain
• Stomach ulcers and
• Stomach cancer
The Other Side of the Coin – The drastic
reduction of sodium can be just as harmful
as consuming large amounts of it. Too little
can cause spasms, irregular heart rhythms, sudden death and even increase the
risk of heart attack in hypertensive patients.
For a greater understanding or to just satisfy your curious mind, I highly
recommend checking out a great site that deals with facts and scientific
unbiased research on salt and how it biologically functions in the body.

Wild Salmon with Wild Rice
& Wild Mushrooms...It’s WILD!
Just kidding about the wild mushrooms, regular, calm mushrooms will do just fine
Packed with the essence of life, Omega-3 oils. This nutrient packed meal is loaded with flavor, healing powers and mood regulators
- it strengthens your heart, muscles and brain!
Ingredients: The Salmon:
• 1 1⁄2 lbs or more of Wild Caught Salmon Fillets, if whole- cut
into approximately 6oz portions
• 3 Organic Green Onions- finely chopped
• Olive Oil
• 2 tbsp Soy /Gluten Free Soy Sauce or GF Soy Sauce
• 1 or 2 Organic Oranges- to make 1/3 cup of juice
• 3 tbsp grated ginger
• 1 tsp raw honey
• 1 carton of Organic Mushrooms- any kind you like!-clean and
sliced
• 1 shallot- sliced or minced, doesn’t matter
• 1⁄4 cup white wine or sake or 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar (whatever
you have)
Add Bok Choy to this
meal to complete it1
Bok Choy is high in
vitamin A, Vitamin C,
Beta-Carotene,
Calcium, Potassium,
Vitamin B-6 and
dietary fiber! In fact,
all the Choy veggies
are packed with
goodness; explore them
all!
!
For the Rice: Use 2 cups of rice w/ 4 cups water.
Wild rice cooks more like pasta than rice; it will not absorb all the water. Rice is
done when it just puffs open. If you over cook it, it becomes mushy. It should be
chewy, not crunchy and not mushy.
Food Fact:
Salmon is chuck full of
Omega 3-fatty acids (DHA
and EPA) which among the
many benefits like keeping
your heart and brain
healthy & working, it
improves both and
behaviors (ADHD,
depression, etc), it also
reduces inflammation in the
body, primarily the gut.
Inflammation contributes to
obesity, diabetes, caners,
arthritis, and several brain
diseases.
!
1.
Start the rice first because it takes the longest to cook. If you have a rice cooker machine, then life is good, use the
brown rice setting. If you don’t, keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn or dry out.
2.
3.
In a large sauté pan, melt the butter substitute and add the shallots. Cook for 5 mins, and then add mushrooms. Sauté
for 5 min, then add a pinch of sea salt, black pepper, and wine or sake or balsamic vinegar (one of them, not all three)
Cook until soft and set aside. When rice is done, add to rice and toss gently
4.
5.
Rinse the Salmon carefully in water and pat dry with paper towel.
Place on a lined, lightly oiled grilling tray, cookie sheet with sides or something to broil it on- skin side down.
6.
In a small bowl: combine the soy sauce, orange juice, ginger, green onions and honey. Wisk to combine well.
7.
Drizzle Salmon with a bit of Olive Oil and then drizzle the Orange Soy Sauce mixture on top. (You can marinate it for an hour or so if you’d like)
8.
Broil the salmon under high heat for 10 to 15 min. *** Now this broiling time is something of a judgment on your part. The time depends on how close you have the
Salmon to the heat. Do not place your rack at the top, because then your fish will burn. If it is on the bottom, it will take longer to broil. I like it in the middle, so if you get
distracted, you don’t scorch it into a charcoal brick.
9.
Salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork and the flesh inside is firm but not dry. The top should be lightly brown and caramelized.

5. Add the pinches of sea salt to taste and then the fresh
spinach. Cook until the spinach wilts into the stew.
6. At this point, the soup may be served or simmer in the pot for as long as you like.
The longer it simmers, the more time is allowed for all the flavors to melt together.
Just make sure you don’t cook out the liquid, keep it at a simmer.
7. This easy meal stores well in the frig and is an easy meal to take with you.

4 -5 cloves garlic
2 cups raw pine nuts
2 cups fresh Organic basil leaves, packed
2 cups raw walnuts

Organic chicken (any cut is fine, breast, tenders or dark meat) If you have
frozen chicken, no worries, it works as well
1. Cook up the chicken. If you are short on time, and have only frozen chicken,
place frozen chicken in a pot with a lid and add a cup of water. Cook with lid on
and it will cook all the way through!
2. While chicken is cooking, put in a food processor or blender, Garlic, pine nuts,
basil leaves, and walnuts and mix. Add olive oil and 1 tsp of sea salt and blend
until you get a consistency you like.
3. When chicken is cooked through, add pesto to the chicken, either coat it in the
pot or serve it over the chicken on your plate.
"# Serve with a side dish of veggies and a salad. !

“Dag Nabit, I forgot to thaw the Chicken!” Stew
Forgot to thaw the chicken? No worries, just follow this quick and easy recipe for a
dinner in minutes. I like this dish with the dark meat of the chicken, like thigh meat.
The fat content keeps this dish flavorful from a frozen state.
!
Ingredients:
• 6 organic Chicken Thighs- frozen like the Arctic!
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 cups of Organic diced tomatoes
• 2 organic zucchinis- chopped in half rounds
• 2 to 3 cups of broccoli- roughly chopped or in florets
• 3 small fresh cloves of garlic-minced
• C cup sliced black olives
• 2 tbsp dried basil
• 1 tbsp of dried oregano
• 1 can organic garbanzo beans
• 2 to 3 pinches of sea salt
• 1 tsp of black pepper
1. In a large stockpot, or better, a large Dutch Oven Pot,
add chicken thighs and olive oil over med high heat. Put
the lid on and begin to cook. This process is like a
pressure cooker and the meat cooks fairly quickly.
2. If not using a Dutch oven pot, keep an eye on the chicken
from burning to the bottom of the pot, if it begins to
happen, add 1 cup of water to the pot and push the
chicken around, this will prevent it form sticking.
3. Once chicken is cooked- 15 min or so, add the tomatoes,
zucchini, broccoli, garlic, black olives, basil, oregano,
garbanzo beans, sea salt, and black pepper. Stirring
occasionally, cook for approximately 10 more minutes.
4. Keep the lid on the pot between the stirring, this infuses
the flavors and speed up the cooking
