Absorption

Hi guys

For high nutrient foods, do you think it's better to have the food by itself as a shot (i.e. wheatgrass, chia, acai, spirulina) or okay/better to mix in with other foods in the form of a smoothie or dressing?

I can think of pros and cons both sides, though I do lean towards 'throw it in a juice/smoothie' because it's easier (and tastier).

I tried not to mix more than 3 food items together.

If you are putting into a smoothies it is better to do it after the blending.
Blending may destroy nutrients.

There are real advantages to mono eating. [www.30bananasaday.com]

Thanks for the link, I don't think I'm ready for mono-eating yet though (especially when the produce right now isn't brilliant) but will bear it in mind over summer when there's a bigger (and tastier!) range of foods.

One of my favourite simple dinner's is romaine lettuce, good quality tomatoes + avocado. Yum!
