I hope by posting my recipe others may share insights of which ingredients they find most beneficial:

1 banana

Large helping spinach

1 carrot

3 small radish

Small helping oats

2 celery sticks

Cup oat milk

Cream of tartar serving

Handful blueberries

5 dried prunes

Daily scoop vegan protein powder - vanilla

Plenty of potassium from banana/spinach /tartar

I read this week of a study from India identifying chronic deficiency of potassium amongst hypo group and the target needs to be 2500- 4000 bearing in mind 2500= 8 bananas so needs some work to obtain sufficient amounts

The above smoothie fills a very large plastic beaker and takes a while to digest but can satisfy for the whole day if needs be

Sound lovely I just eat a banana and have oats for breakfast. I also eat plenty of berries and nuts.

I have been drinking a smoothie every morning for years …. I believe this smoothie along with my own slight increase of thyroid meds helped to lower my cholesterol by 12 points.

I/2 banana

1/2 cup of frozen chopped spinach

Frozen wild blueberries (I don’t measure my fruits I do amount based on my taste )

Frozen fresh cranberries

1 strawberry ( no reason for 1)

1 cup Oat or almond and coconut milk

1 or 2 teaspoon of peanut butter (its a must try)

1 tablespoon of freshly ground flaxseed

1 tablespoon of protein powder (I can’t tolerate a thick pudding shake texture too much protein powder gives)

Emergen-c packet ( been using this for years)

1 tsp beet powder
