Homemade GOO

Ok friends.. since there are over 6 of you asking.. here is my homemade GOO recipe.

I ordered my LEMON LIME HAMMER NUTRITION HEED online. (i do not recommend any other flavor.. this is the best one). You can buy at http://www.hammernutrition.com/ or at REI or the Tukwila bike store or ebay or amazon. It is $46.95 for 80 servings. Try to avoid paying shipping on the 5lb container though. I can't remember exactly where I purchased mine.

I bought my AGAVE from Costco. (this is a slow release glucose, better than sugar or honey and doesn't spike your blood sugar)

I ordered my black CHIA seeds online. White chia seeds are ok too. (I bought mine from therawfoodworld.com and bought three 2-lb bags to have a large enough shipment to avoid paying shipping charges). I knew I would use this on cereal, smoothies, salads and more. It is super good for you.

I went to walmart for my re-usable 3oz shampoo bottles.

Buy real lime at the grocery store and you are set.

You really won't screw this up, so you will learn to alter how you personally like it.

Start with 3 cups of water in a pitcher
Put in 4 scoops of HEED
This mixture alone is a great electrolyte drink and even if you never add chia or agave, you can use this as you would gatorade, yet without the high fructose corn syrup.

Then, add in 1/4 cup of agave.
juice of a fresh lime
Add in 1/4 cup of chia seeds and whisk.
Whisk at 5 min, 10 and again at 15, to avoid clumping.
Refrigerate for 4 hours.
Then add to your shampoo bottles and use when you like.
Good in the fridge for 2 weeks, although I have gone longer and had no problems.

Chia seeds hold 12x their weight in water, so it gels up and gets goopy.
See how thick it is.. you can do yours as thick or thin as you like.
Enjoy! You won't go wrong.. so just get the ingredients and you will be on your way to a great sports supplement.
