  5. Great choices! I have to make meal shakes for my dad because he's 92 and bed-bound. He has two smoothies per day. I add water and almond milk and a bit of pineapple orange juice. I switched up the fruits and vegetables and always I'm sure to put in flax seeds, hemp seeds and chia seeds in every smoothie as well as either vegan meal powder or vegan protein powder and everything that goes into the smoothie is organic.❤

  9. Used this formula for my own green smoothie and LOVED it! However, I found it generates a LOT of liquid – like 3/4 glasses. Way too much for one sitting. Anyone else found d this and what do you do? Fridge or freeze the remains?

  25. Freezing as ice cubes to blend later and pre-portioning in freezer bags are complete game changers! Your videos are so calming and informative, I found your chia pudding video thanks to the algorithm and you've quickly become one of my favorite channels 🙂 thank you so much!
