@obx1982 This looks like a great smoothie! I appreciate you sharing the recipe. Smoothies are a favorite of mine.
As this your first post in Connect's PD group, would you be comfortable sharing some information about your history with Parkinson's? I was wondering how long ago you were diagnosed and what your major symptoms are now?
I look forward to getting to know you better and having you share in our discussion.

I was diagnosed back in 2018. I do have tremors but under control with medication. I stay well exercised. I live at the gym Mon/Sat. I am a part of the Silver Sneakers and I do yoga, and the other programs offered. I’m at the between 2 to 3 hrs a day. I work out to tone up not to bulk up. I ride a bike for 45 min and the next time I will do a fast pace walk (3.4 mph) for 60 minutes.
When first diagnosed it hit me like a ton of brick. I was so depressed I was in bed for a year and gained 70 lbs. Well now I lost all and feel better! My balance is ok but not the best but I work on it every day. I also use the elliptical and free weights. I’m all over the gym.
Don’t be like was be like I am now. The more you move the better you will feel and the less the side effects at least for me! Anything else I can help with just ask.
