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.

RE: Smoothie

Bob, 86 the flax seeds. Men shouldn’t eat them.

[numberonepal]

Forgot. Trade the flax seeds with chia seeds.

OK; I think of magnesium when I think of spinach, and iron also.

Greek yogurt and cottage cheese are normals in my diet. Medical folk often raise an eyebrow and ask if I should be eating dairy at my age. 🤔 I always tell them that if I eliminated dairy from my daily diet I would probably starve.🤷‍♂️

Diverticulitis...

Granddad had that from starvation. From my viewpoint as a little kid he never let it get in his way (lotta magnesium juice). It would have been awesome to know then what we’ve come to know now digestive and decent food wise.
