In a blender:

8-10 oz. So Delicious coconut milk

5-6 Frozen strawberries

1 cup blueberries

1 banana

some mango slices

handful of chunked up fresh pineapple

(any fruit works really!)

2 handfuls of frozen chopped kale (do not worry, it blends right up)

1 TBLS. ground flax seed

a good squirt of agave syrup or honey

BLEND.

If you like it thicker, throw in a few cubes, but the frozen berries make it slushy enough for me.

Full of calcium, fiber, digestive enzymes, vitamins and minerals (including folate and B-12, which we can always use) and it keeps you "regular"

;)

How many people you feedin with that there recipe, porkypants? :D

Do you find your blender has trouble with the frozen strawberries? Mine leaves little chunks, irritates me. Only does it with strawberries, any other fruit or ice it destroys...

My old blender did that. I let the strawberries sit out of the freezer and start to thaw and that seemed to help. I freeze bananas when they start to get mushy. I break them into pieces to freeze. They mix better in pieces ( when they are frozen). Also, make sure you add some liquid, that helps.

I make a big batch & freeze it in portions in microwaveable containers. Then I just microwave about a minute on high and stir. Only have to get your blender messy once for four smoothies.

I tend to share some with hubs.

If you put the milk in first, the berries won't gag the blender blades and I do wait a few minutes for them to melt a bit.

My son, M, must have sent you a note. He wants a smoothie with kale. He had a sample at WF when the health class went. Kale is one of the best foods for you.

He did. He said his Mom was mean and wouldn't give him any Kale.

seriously, it really is one of the best foods there is. I ate a lot of it when I was folate and calcium deficient (I made kale soup and kale chips, too) and I got used to having it.

The bags of it are already cleaned and chopped and I just throw it in a freezer ziplock and grab a few chilly handfuls for smoothies.

It makes everything a nice shade of green! I like that color. :)

It doesn't clog the blades, it more gets thrown up the edges without actually blending. Maybe they're just too light to stay near the blades.

I'm drooling. :lol:

This tends to happen with my blender when I don't add enough liquid.. but have you tried letting the strawberries thaw slightly before blending them?

...hmm, if they are frozen, they are like rocks, but if they are fresh, maybe they have super powers and try to jump out of the way of the blades?

Well, the frozen ones are what I'm having the problem with. But maybe they have superpowers too.....

Anybody put frozen mango in their smoothie? I did once, it tasted great. I think it was mango banana berry....

My VitaMix is brilliant for smoothies (ahem smooth ice cream). I use frozen mango, strawberries, banana, peaches, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, cranberries, grapes, pomegranate...and if I want a tropical smoothie, I add a bit of coconut milk and coconut extract along with the vanilla I always add. Or some freshly-squeezed lime, orange or lemon juice and a bit of tangerine oil.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Thanks very interesting I have to see if I should take these 2 vitamins along with my multi and super Vit B complex or if its too much or would hurt me. I don't have any other health issues but would love to see if this improves anything especially to feel stronger build muscle.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Yes, I have noticed a big difference. I had serious malnutrition symptoms that my doctors couldn't figure out, so they blamed me, said I was "depressed" and washed their hands of me. At home, I could feel myself dying, and, with nothing left to lose, I relied on knowledge from my microbiology and nutrition classes at university. I went gluten free. I...

      Yes, I would be good with the diagnosis. While NCGS isn't a malabsorptive disease like celiac disease, inflammation and restricted diets can impact Vitamin D levels. Recovery from either disease requires avoiding gluten. celiac disease may take a longer recovery than NCGS because in celiac disease there is intestional damage to the cilia that has...

      Yes, I have noticed a big difference.  I had serious malnutrition symptoms that my doctors couldn't figure out, so they blamed me, said I was "depressed" and washed their hands of me.  At home, I could feel myself dying, and, with nothing left to lose, I relied on knowledge from my microbiology and nutrition classes at university.  I went gluten free.  I started taking vitamins according to my nutritional deficiency symptoms.  Vitamins worked.  My health improved.  Now I'm here to help others.  Celiac disease causes malabsorption which results in malnutrition.  Doctors don't recognize the symptoms of Celiac disease and malnutrition. Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing and digestion, improves diabetes and neuropathy and much more.  TTFD (Thiamax or TTFD-B1 Max) helps with brain function, neuropathy and lots more.  Every cell in the body needs thiamine to make energy so the cell can function.  Without sufficient thiamine, mitochondria die.  Every cell also needs thiamine and the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes.  Thiamine has antiviral and antibacterial properties.   We may not be getting sufficient thiamine from our diets if we eat a lot of carbohydrates.  The more carbs one eats the more thiamine is needed to process them into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine, the body stores the carbs as fat. This is called high calorie malnutrition.   We may not be getting sufficient thiamine from our diets if we eat a gluten free diet.  Gluten free flours and processed foods are not required to be enriched nor fortified with vitamins and minerals like their gluten containing counterparts.  Meats are the best sources of thiamine, but some veggies (beans, potatoes, squash) and fruits (citrus and berries) contain some thiamine.    Explore thiamine more here: https://hormonesmatter.com/thiamine-deficiency-causes-problems/

      Yes, I would be good with the diagnosis.  While NCGS isn't a malabsorptive disease like celiac disease, inflammation and restricted diets can impact Vitamin D levels.  Recovery from either disease requires avoiding gluten.  celiac disease may take a longer recovery than NCGS because in celiac disease there is intestional damage to the cilia that has to self repair in addition to the nutritional deficiencies.   Nonceliac Gluten Sensitivity Dr. Weston Price's research in the 1930s showed that diets rich in minerals and fat-soluble vitamins (A, D3, K2) promoted well-mineralized teeth, while deficiencies led to weaker enamel. Fatty liver, Intermittent diarrhea, Severe abdominal distension Choline deficiency causes abnormal deposition of fat in the liver, which results in a condition called nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. In some people, choline deficiency causes muscle damage. https://lpi.oregonstate.edu/mic/other-nutrients/choline    Choline is a large part if the bile salts for fat digestion, Acetycholine, a neural transmitter, mitochondria membrane structure, and along with folate, B12, and B6 recycles homocysteine  High homocysteine can damage artery linings. Low vitamin D levels are associated with increased symptoms of depression and anxiety,  autoimmune diseases and most of your symptoms.
