That sounds more than fine and what the doctor should order for me tonight. I was going to ask about the kick but then I saw the final ingredient. :-)

Thank you for the posting. I may try this with my yard tomatoes (not Italian but good...) and no cucumber.

I’ve been following the thread for some time….

I’ve been vegan for nearly 30 years due to severe food allergies - most days over the past 20 or so years I’ve been having a green smoothie using Spirulina mixing in fruits (except Oranges, Strawberries and Kiwi fruits as I’m allergic to them……..I’m allergic to my national fruit! It’s sooo embarrassing, lol!) and/or veggies depending on what I feel like – banana and beetroot is NOT a good combination! LOL! I fancied them both and just had to try it out – NEVER again! LOL!

I have alpha-Thalassaemia and Spirulina is chelated iron, unlike Spinach which is unchelated (too much unchelated iron can saturate my organs causing damage). I eat a lot of seaweed, green veggies cooked (except Spinach which is just……..bleurgh! I prefer to eat it raw in salads. I LOVE green salads and fruit and can be found happily eating my way through a generous portion of them, even in Winter! LOL!
