Our Founder's Daily Wellness Ritual for Over 20 Years
Long before Infinity Wellness existed, Billy was experimenting in his kitchen, blending his Greens and Vitamin C formulas with banana, almond butter, protein powder and wild blueberries into what he calls "liquid nutrition." Part of his goal was simply to make his daily superfoods taste better. Some of the most therapeutic ingredients weren't especially tasty on their own, and he wanted a recipe he would genuinely look forward to every morning. What began as an experiment became a daily ritual that has lasted more than twenty years.
The result is a simple, nourishing breakfast that's easy to digest and provides a balanced blend of quality carbohydrates, protein, and healthy fats while also being hydrating and exceptionally nutrient-dense. Best of all, it's simple enough to become part of your everyday routine.
A Note from Billy
"I feel I should mention the almond butter. Almonds provide a superior quality fat. The vitamin E makes almonds a longevity food. Almond butter is great because it blends well. Whole almonds do not. And a super crucial factor is not using almond milk, like many people intuitively would—or other boxed milks. No matter how organic they may be, they often contain binders and emulsifiers. Just simple, unadulterated almond butter is the way to go."
"Together with the other ingredients, it's the best creamer. The almond butter, frozen banana, and water are the foundation that allows the Infinity superfoods to blend together and taste totally awesome. This is a smoothie that covers virtually everything."
"The blueberries are an optional add-on. Wild blueberries that you can buy frozen have way more value than the blueberries you'll buy in the produce section. And they also make smoothies epic."
— Billy Merritt, Founder of Infinity Wellness
Directions
- Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender.
- Pour in the cold water.
- Blend until smooth and creamy.
- If you'd like a thinner smoothie, gradually add more water until you reach your preferred consistency.
- Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately.
Billy's Tip: For the creamiest texture, always freeze the banana before blending. If you're using a fresh banana, simply add a handful of ice to achieve a similarly thick consistency.
Every Ingredient Has a Purpose
- Frozen banana creates natural sweetness and an incredibly creamy texture while also adding potassium and magnesium.
- Wild blueberries provide concentrated anthocyanins and antioxidants while adding vibrant flavor.
- Raw almond butter contributes healthy fats, vitamin E and richness without the additives found in many packaged plant milks.
- True Greens delivers a broad spectrum of nutrient-dense greens, herbs, and botanicals.
- True C adds whole-food vitamin C from nature's richest fruit sources.
- True Plant Protein rounds out the meal with satisfying plant protein to help support muscle, energy, and satiety.
Together, they create a breakfast that's balanced, hydrating and remarkably complete, a simple daily ritual that Billy has been using for over two decades.

Taste Profile
Rich, creamy, and naturally satisfying with layers of sweet banana, roasted almond butter, and vibrant wild blueberries. The blueberries add a subtle tartness that perfectly balances the smoothie's natural sweetness, while the almond butter creates a luxurious, milkshake-like texture without the need for dairy.
Ingredient Spotlight: Raw Almond Butter
Raw almond butter is one of Billy's favorite foundational ingredients and for good reason. Unlike many packaged plant-based milks, raw almond butter contains no gums, emulsifiers, or unnecessary additives. It provides naturally occurring healthy fats, vitamin E, and a rich, creamy texture that helps bring all of the ingredients together into one smooth, satisfying drink.
As Billy says: "Together with the other ingredients it's the best creamer."
