There is a theory that different parts of the stomach digest foods at different rates. This would be the melons that aren’t supposed to be mixed. Hence why you rarely see them as frequent in smoothies and even in salads it’s usually one melon type or just melons. Again it’s a theory.
It’s interesting the panic over orange juice when mangoes have the highest sugar content. Then there are the protein addicts. It’s like going to the gym then eating McDonalds or taking anti cancer meds only to drink it down with cancer. Silly but it’s still better than most on some level. Bad habits are hard to break and stupid slogans are hard to forget ESP if heard as a kid. Example – milk does a body good. Brilliant advertising idea but a complete lie. Just like adding protein to everything is a good idea.
Maybe instead of adding protein powder which is for the most part processed junk (don’t believe me look up every single ingredient) try adding cashews or walnuts even almonds that are good for the brain with healthy fats and protein rather than adding garbage. Yep I said it protein powder is junk. Sorry the truth stings but we get over it or we end up with cancer.
these are recipes for you to try and to add/delete and make it your own. If there is something you don’t like, to put it in. These are great ideas for you to start using your Blendec to make your own smoothies.
