Thanks for the hug. We need more of that these days.
Have a great weekend.
Well, that's great to see! I think genetics and lifestyle play equal roles in how one's life's experiences unfold, certainly how healthy we are. Some, I'm sure, have to modify what they have taken for years as a decent diet in order to restore their former capabilities, even if just to get back into some slimmer pants.
I like your smoothie idea. Do you have a recipe that you follow for making the smoothie? I’ve seen some warnings about not using too much banana. Please advise!!

I'm big on breakfast smoothies too. I saw a nutritionist while being treated for prostate cancer and they RECOMMENDED fresh fruits and vegetables. I suppose if you ate fruit all day long it might not be the best idea, but fruit is high in vitamins and fiber, both of which are good for you.
Sometimes, I put spinach in the smoothies. It's packed with nutrition and has minimal taste when mixed with other things. It just makes the smoothie look weird. Occasionally, an avocado is good in a smoothie as well. It makes it very creamy and delicious.
