Happy 2026 Everyone and a Smoothie Recipe…

Happy 2026 Everyone!

I’m putting together a list of topics to cover this year in posts, articles, and videos. Is there a particular nutrition-related topic you would like to learn about this year? If so, please comment below and I’ll add it to my list!

By the way, this smoothie was really good! It is made of 2 ½ bananas, 2 cups of dandelion greens, and 2 oranges. The design on the top is composed of ½ of one banana cut into slices, ½ of one ripe persimmon, one small strawberry, and 1/8 tsp. of coconut flakes.

Here are some of the nutrients:

Vitamin B1 0.7 mg

Vitamin B2 0.4 mg

Vitamin B3 4.3 mg

Vitamin B5 2.2 mg

Vitamin B6 1.3 mg

Choline 102.4 mg

Folate 166.3 mcg

Vitamin C 231.9 mg

Vitamin E 5.5 mg

Vitamin K1 858.9 mcg

Calcium 336.2 mg

Magnesium 173.6 mg

Potassium 2212.6 mg

Sodium 84.5 mg

Zinc 1.3 mg

Almost all of these values are pretty impressive for almost 550 calories, including the B vitamins, choline, folate, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin K1, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and zinc!

We’ve found smoothies to be a super easy and quick way to enjoy fruit and leafy greens. We mostly enjoy eating our fruit non-blended, but smoothies are one of my go-to breakfasts when I have a busy day ahead of me and find them to be especially filling for hours with the addition of leafy greens.
