Annie,

I put the following smoothie together earlier in the year, with the great help of many in our forum:

The Potassium is a recent addition after the hospital. It was a bit low and I was not getting enough from two or three bananas that I was eating a week. It makes a 64-ounch batch.

I have one 16-ounce portion at my first meat, along with 1/2 cup of oats, and 1 cup of kefir. The 3 remaining 16-ounce portions throughout the day, or sometimes, into the next day. I blend it in a VitaMix.
  • White Grape Juice (625)
  • ½ Cup Imported Raw Almonds (275)
  • ½ Cup of the Ultimate Meal (255)
  • 2 oz 100% Soy Protein (120)
  • 1 Banana (105)
  • 1 Cup Kale (33)
  • 1 Cup Cabbage (15)
  • 1 Cup Spinach (6)
  • 1 Cup Broccoli (65)
  • 1 Cup White Grapes (62)
  • 2 tablespoons of freshly ground Flax Seeds (90)
  • Splash of Lemon Juice
  • Splash of Lime Juice
  • 1 inch Cube of Ginger Root (20)
  • 2000 mg Vitamin C
  • 1200 mg Calcium
  • 8000 IU Vitamin D3

Total Calories: Around 1600

Supplements, most included in smoothie
  • ½ Cup Ultimate Meal dietary supplement
  • Calcium - 1200 mg
  • Vitamin D3 - 8000 IU
  • Ginger Root - 1 inch cube
  • 2 a day - 1000 mg Omega 3 Fish Oil - EPA 300mg - DHA 200 mg
  • 2 Tablespoons of freshly ground flax seeds
  • Vitamin C - 2000 mg
  • Turmeric - 350 mg
  • Potassium - 99 mg

Sometimes it takes me two days to finish it. It does tastes great. I do eat other thing too. i store it in the refrigerator in stateliness steel Thermoses, filled to make the bottles airtight.

-Mark-
