Sounds good. Has it helped with weight loss? I tend to look at something and I am gaining weight. Of course the scale does tell lies. It just dont like me anymore.

Well we are both trying to lose weight, and like I said before we are drinking a vega smoothie everyday, and we include ingrediants with protein and fiber. Loosing a little weight, but think it's going to take a while.. Also, I have a lot of sleeping problems since our accident, and the last two nights I have had a smoothie with banana and savi seeds, 2 agents that are suppose to help you have a deep sleep.. so far.. it's working.

We recently started eating smoothies for breakfast.  After attempting a 3-day detox Dr. oz had on his site we became hooked on the energy provided.  Okay so we were only successful with the 3-day cleanse for 1 day. At least the smoothie habit settled in with not just me but my entire family.  We've made some unque combinations..adding Kale, pumpkin, apples, spinach, flax seeds, flavored yogurts, honey.  tofu... you name it we've bout tried it all...even cayenne pepper.

What are some unique things you've added to smoothies or combinations you thought would be intimidating and were surprised with the results?

Real fruit no artificial

Savi seeds?  Hmmm never heard of them... looks like I've got another something to search.

If you have the right blender you can add a lot of items you might not normally think of. I have had kale in my smoothies. If you have a bad blender it will be chunky and pretty gross. I got the Ninja Blender and it works a lot better. I add carrots, kale, spinach, flax seed, yogurt, fruits, etc... and they turn out pretty good.

The only savi seeds I have found so far is made by the same people I buy my vegi protein mix from.. and that is Vega

Are we allowed to place other web pages on here?

I think we can put other sites on?  Just not direct links...at least that's what I've picked up in the forums over the course of the last year. 

When using Carrot's do ya put them in raw or cook em up a bit so they blend up easier.  If they are anything like ice than I don't think my blender will hold up long.  It says it'll do ice but it's not really true.
