If I don’t have almond milk on hand, would milk or water work as a substitute? What nutrients would be missing without the almond milk? I actually have natural almond butter on hand and could use some. I’m thinking maybe some almond butter and water may be a substitute? If my fruits are all frozen should I still use the ice cubes? I have rheumatoid arthritis and am looking for anti inflammatory properties. I also have hypothyroidism and a B12 deficiency. My doctor also said my Vitamin D and magnesium are low. I’d love natural magnesium rich smoothies as the supplement really Moves the GI system more than I’d like. Bleck!

A bit of almond butter (maybe a Tablespoon or so) with milk or water will work fine. That will also add additional protein. No need to use ice cubes when using frozen fruit!

Gosh, I am a huge fan of this recipe! I just got back from a cold run here in Michigan and this was perfect - I even added some extra banana! If it's ok I am actually going to link to it over at my blog: healthysmoothiehq

I have been eating some version of the following since I purchased my “Bullet” using the large container:
1) One standard grocery store size navel orange, peeled 2) One similar sized granny smith apple 3) One similar sized banana, peeled 4) About 6 “baby carrots” 5) About 3 ounces diced frozen mango chunks 6) 2 large kale leaves, stalks and all 7) Gatorade
I mix the first 4 ingredients together with the Gatorade and pour the results into an empty Gatorade bottle. Then, I mix the kale leaves and the mango chunks with tap water. I have done this twice a day since April, so I have it figured out what the liquid to ingredient mix is so that it fills that Gatorade bottle when done.
A few shakes to mix it all together, stick in a straw and suck it all down.
Frequently I will consume this concoction twice a day. Sometimes only once. After that, whenever I notice that I am a little hungry, I eat whatever I feel like. It is never very much, usually an apple with peanut butter, or toast and peanut butter. Sometimes spaghetti. It doesn’t make much difference. I also run about 18 to 25 miles a week.
I am 64 and feel great. I felt great before I started with the Bullet, but I have noticed that eating this way significantly assists with the elimination process, which is why I began this in the first place. I do not want to take any medications if I can avoid it. Even the OTC variety.
If anyone has any feedback regarding nutritional value of my “smoothie”, I’d be more than appreciative to hear from you.
Thanks for listening.

Sounds like a good mix Jay! As a runner myself, I like the use of Gatorade. This would be a great post workout smoothie and a decent meal replacement smoothie too, although I would probably eat a bit of protein with it, like a boiled egg or some low fat cheese if using it as a meal replacement. In fact I might give Gatorade in my smoothies a try now! For nutritional values, here is a nice website and calculator for determining that stuff: http://nutritiondata.self.com/
