John, do you ever all any king of supplement re your neuropathy to your smoothie? Is there anything that will be helpful we can add? I bought some Garden of Life protein powder like Sue @sueinmn uses, and another one that has seeds and other goodies for the digestion which I definitely need. I think they're at the front door now, actually, so I'll make one this afternoon for dinner. BTW: these are meals for me, not supplemental to meals. I plan to get some beets and work on those, too, since they are so full of antioxidants and other good things.
I plan to begin smoothies again as a mainstay of my diet. I did that a couple of years ago and was more energetic and generally felt better. Got ill and stopped 'cause of the extra effort required. But, I'm making the effort now as I'm not eating properly due to esophagus swallowing issues, reflux, so many foods I can't eat....live in Florida for goodness sakes and can't eat citrus! Have a lemon cocktail tree on the patio and gobs of huge, grapefruit sized lemon/limes every spring, can't eat them! Can they work in a smoothie w/o the same side effects as eaten directly??????
Also, I found some frankincense and myrrh in coconut oil balm - Wise Men Healing Balm, neutripure.com. I used it last night and this morning on my feet and legs re neuropathy. And, on hands/wrists for arthritis. It actually helped! Very lovely fragrance, light, and does wonders for my overly dry skin. Also, got some balm for pain relief, same company. I'll report on that soon....
thanks for all you do, my friend. You are a special person and help so many of us. Thank you!
Blessings and get started with the smoothies again. I know if I put some supplement you suggest it'll help this neuropathy and arthritis!

Elizabeth @ess77, I used to add fresh ginger and turmeric along with my green breakfast smoothie which was parts of an apple, some grapes, handful of spinach and some ice cubes for water and blended it all together. I wasn't very careful and just made them for awhile by how it tasted the day before, sort of like my science experiment for the day 🙂 It really does not take too big of a piece of turmeric or ginger to make it undrinkable for me.
It was similar to the green smoothie in the list that originated from Dr. Terry Wahls I listed earlier in the discussion - https://www.thehealthy.com/food/recipes/paleo-smoothies/
