John Gray is the author of the new book, Venus on Fire, Mars on Ice. Recently, Gray appeared on the Dr. Oz Show, and during a discussion about a connection between health, hormones and the relationship between one’s marriage partner, prepared a smoothie. He noted that hormones hormones control emotions, and blood sugar fluctuations play a role in hormone regulation. Gray indicated that managing these hormones was key to a healthy relationship. He said, “Stress, blood sugar and body fat play a role in your relationship – and how you can achieve a balanced and blissful connection with your partner.” One of the key ingredients in this smoothie is the PGX Powder. It’s importance is found not only in the appetite control, which helps maintain a proper body weight, but in the control of the blood sugar levels.

Below is the recipe for the John Gray’s “Marriage Saver Shake” and all the ingredients are readily available at a local health food store.

• One scoop un-denatured whey protein
• One teaspoon maca powder
• One tablespoon flaxseed
• One teaspoon cacao powder
• One teaspoon PGX powder (starting with 1/4 tsp and gradually increasing to one teaspoon)
• Handful of gogi berries
• One teaspoon acai berry powder
• Two teaspoons molasses
• One drop artificial sweetener
• One tablespoon coconut oil
• 6-8 oz water
• Ice

A great- tasting variation of the above recipe, smoothie using PGX Powder:

• One scoop un-denatured chocolate whey protein

• One teaspoon maca powder

• One tablespoon flaxseed

• One teaspoon cacao powder

• One teaspoon PGX powder (starting with 1/4 tsp and gradually increasing to one teaspoon)

• Handful of gogi berries

• Handful of blueberries

• One ring of sliced pineapple

• 1 oz. Orange Juice

• One teaspoon acai berry powder

• Two teaspoons molasses

• One drop artificial sweetener

• One tablespoon coconut oil

• 8 oz water

• Ice

Realize that any shake or smoothie using PGX Powder is going to thicken considerably. Therefore, it is wise to use a bit more water than you might otherwise use. Also, you are using other powder, molasses (very necessary to the recipe), and other ingredients, so the mixture is going to be very thick. If you leave the shake or smoothie in the refrigerator overnight, in the morning the consistency will be closer to a pudding. This is caused by the PGX Powder’s incredible ability to absorb liquids.
