Uncertain Smoothie

[qldjeff]

G'day everyone,

Jeff here. With thanks for reading!. Appreciate it.

May I get advice please ?.

Looking to loose weight.....in particular the nutrition side of it (weight loss, and also inflammation, energy, healthy gut, etc).

In terms of smoothies. I have checked out a number of youtube videos, where people show their own various smoothies, with different ingredients.

Taking those videos, I've jotted down notes, and customized into the one smoothie. I have listed the ingredients below...I know, a quite a few ingredients, but some of the youtube videos also have many many ingredients, and I don't think the ingredients that I have thought of would 'clash' with each other. And, I don't care strictly about taste, more so the health and nutrition benefits, so would not add honey or stevia etc etc...

Can I ask, please, what everyone's thoughts are ? (including those ingredients that I may not have thought of) ?.

* Aronia Berries
* Sea Buckthorn Berries
* Aloe Vera
* (Napole / Prickly Pear Cactus) : Pads AND Fruit
* Pysllium Husk
* Chia Seeds
* Flax Seeds
* Hemp Seeds
* Fish Oil
* Collagen
* Gelatine
* Apple Coder Vinegar
* Mangosteen
* Black Seed Oil
* Shilajit
* Marine Phytoplankton
* Maca
* Ginger
* Turmeric (inc Black Pepper)
* Cayenne Pepper
* Cinnamon
* Chlorophyll
* Spirulina
* Lemon / Lime
* Avocado
* Cucumber
* Spinach
* Red Cabbage
* Carrot
* Beetroot
* Goji Berries

Thanks so much in advance,
Jeff.

Nothing wrong with stevia, but that aside; what makes you think you even need a shake? More filling to eat your food, and that can help with hunger when trying to lose weight.

You’re really looking to add ingredients you may not have thought of to this mother-of-all-smoothies? That’d be a lot of missing ingredients, but the goal isn’t to put as much crap as possible into it. You may want to rethink your general approach to weight loss.

My thought is that it's very unnecessary, expensive, and difficult to make.

Boy, it would take 2 years of membership to the Superfood of the Month club to collect all those ingredients!

Smoothies are not going to fix a poor diet, whatever the ingredients you put into it.

You left out elderberries.

LOL enjoy spending 3 hours assembling this

This is so unnecessary...

I mean why the heck do you have flax, chia, AND hempseeds in one smoothie? That makes no sense at all.

There's so much redundancy in the nutrients you're trying to get across the board.

I don't think i've ever made a smoothie with more than like 7 ingredients.

Can't you read? It's a customized "all the best of youtube" smoothie. He just wants to make sure he didn't leave anything out.

Well, it's missing all the ingredients of the Vince Gironda Hormone Precursor Shake...
