    how best to supplement it.

Dark, leafy greens. I'm a bit pedantic about this, but honestly, starting to drink kale/spinach shakes for breakfast has improved my energy and for whatever reason, changed my tastes. Most artificial dessert food tastes absolutely dreadful now, with the strange exception of cocoa pebbles.

Well the answer is simple really. You're just coo coo for cocoa "pebbles". It really is a shame you didn't say puffs.

The change in tastes is something I've noticed, too. What recipe do you use for the shakes?

Boatloads of kale/spinach(Maybe 2cups?) enough OJ and full fat greek yogurt to get that to blend down, chia seeds, protein powder (I prefer hemp or pea protein, no weird hormone effects like soy or whey) a banana and usually some frozen mango/kiwi chunks.

I've heard a theory about the changes in taste being related to gut bacteria and their effect on your stomachs nervous system.
