I've been helping my family and friends with this recipe, and it's changing lives. Literally. My father, who I taught how to eat vegetarian, has stopped needing insulin! (After heading steadily down the standard American road...sad...)

If you add this smoothie to your daily life, and change nothing else, you will feel better. A lot better. You can still eat bacon and eggs for breakfast (I don't recommend that, but you can), and you can still eat a pulled pork sandwich for dinner (also, don't recommend), but if you have this smoothie around the middle of the day, you will feel better and experience benefits. More or less immediately from day one.

You are quite literally what you eat. How could it possibly be otherwise?

EDIT: easily worth any down votes I may receive here. Computer enthusiasts and professionals, for the most part, in my observation, have a huge blind spot for their health. Huge. So down vote away, my friends. As long as you are also involved in your health!



I don't think you are getting downvotes because developers don't care about their health. It's because you are saying that ONE smoothie is changing lives... which is a ridicolous statement. And it honestly sounds like an attempt for self promotion.


Also, serious question: why is sharing something in a higher bandwidth format than just typing "promotion?" Do you not promote your own thoughts and agenda any time you enter a comment? When I have no product, nothing for sale, no ads on the video, nothing like that, how does one conclude that sharing something, which is just me, commenting, really, in a higher bandwidth format, how do you conclude "promotion?" As I say, serious question.


Well you have no proof whatsoever of your claims. No question that it's a healthy thing to consume, but saying it will change lives from day one without changing anything else is just a very bold statement to make without backing it up with anything. Kudos for the recipe though.


It is not a claim about the future. It's a fact, referring to the past. Of course I will not, but I could easily fish out thank you letters and comments about positive change from a private forum.

I promote your health, sir. Not myself. Forget about me. Think about you. And in particular, note that I don't have any ads on my video. It's really about you. If you can believe that. Sometimes people try to do good for its own sake, even in this day and age. Crazy, huh?


"You will feel better" is certainly and obviously a claim about the future.


Lol. Well you got me on a technicality.

Fine. "Everyone who has tried this, and it's about 20 people at this point, from local people (my family, for example, local friends) to those I only know online--every single one of these people has experienced benefits and shared their happiness with me."

How's that? Don't be a cynic. Don't be too far above it all. Don't "know it all" already. Just try it. Because, while the video is new-ish (I used to have a different one, years ago), my doing this is years in the making. Years. This is no fly-by-night experiment.


Is there a nut free version?


Yeah, just use soy instead of almond milk.

According to wikipedia, almonds aren't nuts, but I'm guessing that's what you mean? Hopefully you're ok with flax seeds...

I don't use soy because of the conflicting information out there, and plus I like almonds. =)
