I make tuna or salmon salads. I get smoked salmon form the market, and run it though the meat grinder on coarse. I only add lemon juice and and olive oil. I do this too for regular tuna and the Bumble Bee Sensations:
You can buy a pound of any kind of meat from the deli, run it thought the meat grinder on course setting, and add olive oil and spices to make a great dish. If I use roast beef, I dress with BBQ sauce.

I also make soups with Swanson stocks, usually chicken. It is fast, easy, and good.

Our local markets began carrying Litehouse dried herbs:

I use the following Litehouse herbs:
  • Parsley
  • Basil
  • Chives
  • Garlic
  • Red Onion
I also use garlic powder and minced garlic in the little jars. The Litehouse Herbs last a long time.

I may take the 2 bananas out of my weekly morning smoothies. I can make a banana smoothie with almond milk in the evenings. This will also open up some room in the 64 ounce blender. I can replace it with kale and raw cabbage.

I usually freeze the bananas after ripening, adding it to the smoothie mixture when needed.

Making a weeks worth of smoothie at a time runs the risk of bacteria growing in the mix. Stuff could also lose some of its nutrients. I would make it more often.

I know, but it is a lot of work. I keep the mixture in three different stainless Thermos bottles in the refrigerator. They are sealed tight.

Maybe I should make it more often. I'll try every third day, getting 3 portions.

I make the juices and smoothies and use within 20 minutes. Honestly, it takes maybe 15 minutes total time, including cleaning the juicer. I would not want to drink anything that had been sitting around more than 12 hours, honestly.

I think I may start making them each day, after I finish the current batch. If I make too much, I'll just have it later that night.

1000 wont likely do anything for you, get a Vit D 25 test done at your doctor.

to increase your vitamin d3 to at least 50 to 70 you might need 5000 to 7000 iu per day and it takes 3 months for the results to be seen in the blood work.

I take 6000iu liquid vitamin d3 per day and my levels are pretty stable at 53 to 65
