Smoothies

I'm trying to avoid dairy as it doesn't sit well with me anymore . DD1 likes yogurt smoothies and I've been sneaking in spinach when I can. I'm going to try with a different base for me, but so far what I've tried has been gross lol

Try soy or almond milk, I use silky tofu sometimes and it's delectable.

I don't do soy, but I've been using cashew milk for oatmeal and things. I tried coconut milk yogurt and it was gross.

My husband is allergic to almonds so I have to make separate everything these days. Cashew milk has almonds in it... don't know how that's helpful! Lol

The only non-dairy base that I liked besides the orange juice - was frozen bananas. Made the smoothie nice and thick - but recently bananas have been giving me the belches, so no more nana's for me.

@sumi That is a huge strawberry! Did it taste as good as it looks?
one of hte seed catalogs I get has strawberry plants for sale that are supposed to grow those huge strawberries, but I am worried about the flavor. If I am going to grow it, it needs to taste good!

Don't the best smoothies start with ice cream and end with Kahlua? Sorry - couldn't help myself!

Just don't use really, really (like fresh outta the ground beets). They'll try to kill you....BTDH

Oh my gosh ice cream is an awesome base for a smoothie. of course only once in a while

I just made a smoothie using just 6oz Orange Juice, 1 Naval Orange, 1 Pink Cara Cara Orange, 1 Granny Smith Apple, 1 1/2 tsp Cinnamon, 1 tsp 100% Pure Raw Honey, and 8-10 ice cubes. It's very delicious and not too thick but thick enough.

I've been considering adding apples to mine... I should give this a try.

From all the articles I've read online about Kale, I'm not supposed to consume it because of having thyroid issues.
I wish I could eat it seeing how I've heard it is full of nutrients that help a body.

From what I understand, cooked kale is not as hard on thyroid as raw kale. Has your doctor said NO kale at all, or would moderate amounts be ok?

Britesea,
I haven't been to a doctor lately because I only have partial medical assistance and it doesn't cover pcp.
