I saw this recipe in my online newsletter from Oxygen's Clean Eating Magazine. I had never heard of yerba mate so I checked that online. For those that don't want to use it, just eliminate it from the recipe... or add in another of your favorite antioxidants. Agave Nectar is a natural sweetener but again, feel free to substitute if you don't have it or can't find it. In addition, if you prefer more protein like me because I do a lot of weight training in my workouts, add more of that in or even substitute the protein powder of your choice. Don't forget to adjust your calories, fat, protein etc. to reflect your changes to the recipe. ENJOY! This is a nice summer drink. It’s especially beneficial to help speed recovery after exercise by replenishing nutrients in an easily digestible form. Plus, the many antioxidants in the berries and yerba maté will mop up cell-damaging free radicals.
