Wow! Impressive... of course, I don’t know anything about ‘smoothies’. What purpose does the spinach serve? 🤔 Do you grow your own? (’fresh’)

Spinach for alkalizing the blood, getting iron and potassium. I buy washed and bagged spinach, and I store it in the freezer and break off a couple chunks for my smoothies. I love this smoothie and try to drink it every day (though I have not been home much lately). I think it’s delicious, but I once made it for a family member and he reacted like I had served him Kitty pee. Of course, he is the one with diverticulitis and an assortment of other (jab-induced) problems.

You can also swap out the avocado for another fat source—my favorite is a big spoonful of unsweetened almond butter—for a flavor change. So good! Other fat sources are Greek or Icelandic (whole fat) yogurt, or cottage cheese.

It makes you strong to the finsach, of course.
