Blended Nutrition: 50 Recipes For Your Blender And Your Health

Many tubies provide for a daily fat allowance, add a bit of extra fats and oils to their meal, then rotate through different sources to get the fat they need. Also try to avoid too many empty calories that come from refined sugar, hydrogenated fat, trans fat, or alcohol. These calories have no nutritional value.

All you need to do is choose a food, blend it by itself with pure water, and see how your body tolerates it. Some good foods to consider blending and eating include bananas, apples, peaches, pears, plums, avocados, oats, rice, sweet potatoes, green beans, squash, peas, chicken, turkey, and beef. If you are introducing foods one at a time, or if you are concerned about potential allergic reaction to certain foods, there are certain foods you may want to avoid, or blend with caution.

This is called an Elimination Diet. In other words, try blending peanuts with no other potential allergens four days straight. If you have no bad reaction, then peanuts are safe and you can add them to your daily diet. Next, move on to another food—eggs—and try that out for four days. However, you will also find that you can tolerate much higher volumes of real food, so you can make up for the lack of calories in your diet by increasing your regular intake.

There is another group of foods you should be wary of. These foods have a reputation for thickening up your blend or not blending easily and should be used sparingly with an increased amount of water.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later. Bought this book hoping that I could use it to lose weight and that there would be some well done sections on various recipes. This should have been published as an e-book. It is not worth the price.

This is a very good "Blendbook" for ideas and recipies. I have tried several and they are simple and delicious. Kindle Edition Verified Purchase.
