That is an excellent start! Congratulations. The bananna (and remember, I always have at least one in every shake I make) will make it thicker, tastier and keep the ingrediants blended together i/e you won't see seperation. You needed a little protein in that shake. (a teasoon of peanut butter would have been perfect), or drop in some almonds or walnuts or unsalted cashews (YUM). Try to view the shake as the food pyramid. But you did great, and I'm proud of you for even trying! The peanut butter or the nuts will be perfect for now. (peanut butter and bananna's are to die for!)

I drink at least one every day (with greens in it) I like to drink two, and some food usually for my snacks and lunch.
But I try really hard to eat a raw diet. Quinoa is the exception, as it does get boiled. Gee, what a wonderful source of protein.

Have you ever used whey protein? Just asking, I am 5 foot 5 and I weigh 130 pounds, and I need 70 grams of protein a day. I rely on they whey isolate to help me get 26 grams of the protein. True, it is used by athletic people for muscle recovery, but it is a wonder source of branch chain amino acids, impossible to get from a supplement, and your body needs it. I usually put it into my morning shake....(but I do my gym work out in the morning).

Keep coming back. Glad to give you tips. Your post made me smile.
