Far as smoothies go I do one with Sea Moss. I use a little Cinnamon, Ground Ginger, Blueberries, Strawberries, teaspoon on Sea Moss, Bananna and Almond Milk (The one with a hint of honey in it) 
Try it.
Try it.
Been doing smoothies over the years ... probably dating back to about 2005/2006. Mostly doing combinations of any / all of the following -
- Water
- Bananas
- Strawberries
- Unsweetened hemp protein
- Spinach
- Bran
- Almond milk

I'm allergic to almonds but ill try the rest. Never heard of sea moss doing research now.
Rich in Minerals. Very healthy. There's another way to make it hot. I gotta get the recipe from my coworker for you.
EDIT: When you make it hot you use hot water not Almond Milk. I'll find out how my coworker does it. He makes it for me it's very good.
I wish I started that long ago. Could have got off the pain pills years ago.
As for the blenders themselves ... have just bought some mid-level ones at RCSS (Real Canadian Superstore) over time. Picked up a newer one about 1 - 2 years back. They're from the President's Choice (PC) line. Something similar to this one ...
All the best with your new routine & juices/smoothies you'll try out. The best thing about making the juices/blends at home is that you know EXACTLY what's going into them. They aren't store or restaurant-bought and doctored up with additional sugar. Just the natural sugars from the fruit(s). Also, if something tastes bad ... just add more water or fruit to counter-balance some of the other flavors like veggies. I find bananas are always a good base, and they're affordable too. I always pick up extra spinach when it's on sale too. Plus, they're a good meal replacement if you're in a rush. Have one drink at home, and bring some along with you in a thermos or water jug to have as a snack or quick lunch to tide you over if you're eating a bit later in the day. Just make sure to add more water to it before you go, as the heavier stuff will settle at the bottom making it a bit too thick. I usually add more water when storing extra in the fridge too.

Where do you get your sea moss from?
I read somewhere that ur suppose to drink it within 20 min or so. Then I read as long as its in an airtight container 24-48 hours. One dude said the quicker you drink it the more nutrients you absorb. Ur thoughts?
I bought a cheap juicer from Target
Just to start out with
I use baby kale bec its less bitter.

Ur thoughts on the Nutrabullet? They claim it extracts more nutrients?

I'm not sure. I can't comment as I haven't used one. Just familiar with blenders, having the PC one (and a smaller Hamilton Beach one).
Produce can be expensive. However that does not mean you have to give up nutrients and being in powder form mixing/blending will not be a problem.
I mix the spirulina and the beet powder together. One spoonful goes a long way. I use it in my smoothies, teas, water.
Also other things that are useful is ground cinnamon , ground ginger, ground cloves, ground tumeric, and ground nutmeg. All are readily available and have health benefits.

When I get a chance I'll post few bunch of recipes from a black own juice bar here in nyc
I appreciate all the responses from you brothers. We really need to raise awareness about our health as black men and try to eat and live healthier. So many intelligent brothers on BG to me its more than just a porn site.
Edit: We really need to raise awareness about our health as black men and women. Many intelligent women on here as well.

Slept on trick..if you got kids or juss got a sweet tooth... Sometime you gotta trick the brain by changing the format of food... So you can turn your smoothie into popsicles..than consume it that way

Good looking!
Like I said a spoon full goes a long way. Mix it with real fruit like an apple, banana, orange, etc for those natural enzymes.... plus your favorite yogurt or sherbet and you have yourself a treat. Also don't sleep on adding nutritional yeast to your smoothie recipes.
Not for me. I concentrate on greens. My juices consist of the follwing
kale
spinach
chlorello
celery
cucumber
cilantro
parsley
spirulina
beet powder
ginger powder
wheat grass
Then my smoothies
protein powder
egg white powder
flaxseeds
chia seeds
cinnamon "Ceylon
wheat grass
spirulina
beet powder
ginger powder

I like to buy bulk bra
Goes a loooong way like you said
This is what they all say,their experts until their asses end up in the ER especially fucking around with protein powders,drinking all of those empty ass calories when you could replace that shit with water.Good luck
I been team Green Smoothie for about a month now.
I bought a Ninja Nutri w/ 12oo watts. Love this fuckin' blender.
I just make up recipes all the time. I always start w/ 2 handfuls of spinach or kale, then 2 cups of water and a scoop of organic protein powder.
From there, it's whatever. 2 frozen bananas w/ pack of frozen pineapples and frozen blueberries or whatever I feel like throwing in the blender that day.
Whatever I make it's better than me going to Wendy's or McD's that day. It's a complete meal replacement and you will not be hungry.
I started buying unsalted nuts and blending them up and then sprinkling those on top of my smoothie. Just helps w/ a little crunch and makes you drink the smoothie a little slower rather than gulping that bitch down all fast.

Keep up the great info, everyone.
Agreed. It's like people that drown their salad in Blue Cheese dressing and say they are on a diet. Ummmm....actually you could have eaten that Big Mac and it would have been healthier.
