I have a cheap Oyster brand blender and I use it to blend my Avocado and lime dressing for my big salad for the day. Not sure if it'd be a good one to make smoothies or not but wanted to ask and get suggestions for blenders that would be better especially for chopping up lettuce too. Making and eating my daily salads takes me about 1.5 hours so on days I don't want to spend that much time I was thinking of making a vegetable smoothie. Typically on salad I will do lettuce green or red, hemp seeds, avocado and lime dressing, carrots, red onion, celery, then I'll have one other topping usually cucumber or tomato. Not saying I want to use all of that for a smoothie but just wondering what would taste good. So please provide recipe suggestions if you have any? Thanks. I could add some fruit but I do not want to add any fruit that would make for improper food combining but if that fruit works good with fat like avocado or even nuts or seeds then that'll be fine. I also want to say that I am on a 2500 calorie diet 80/10/10 raw vegan and I'm doing it very simply doing one big salad a day then lots of fruits throughout day. I'm not dehydrating anything nor do I really eat nuts only seeds right now. I'm 6'4.5" and currently weigh 178 and I'm constantly in gym working with Personal Trainer through an App called Kickoff. I am trying to get closer to 170lb so I am working on losing some more body fat before I go to get another Dexafit Testing for BMR, V02 Max, and Body Scan. I've been weightlifting for over a year now working on building muscle and losing fat trying to work towards 10% body fat. If you prefer to offer me your Coaching services those coaches out there then let me know how you can help me via Zoom strategy call or whatever. If you're not a 80/10/10 coach then a recipe suggestion or more than one would be great. Thank you all

My friend was on 80/10/10 rv for about 3 months then had troubles with emotions and started back eating vegetarian with all the oils breads and etc and has since gained 30 pounds. He lost 10 pounds of that but now struggles to get back to his optimal 80/10/10 rv weight. Now he is going back to 80/10/10 rv and is having a big salad everyday loaded up with veggies and avocado but not too much and a bunch of fruit. His fat is usually around 6% for the day yet his weight remains stagnant. It must be mostly water weight he has to lose that his body is hanging on to I'm guessing?? Or should he be doing some fasting too? He still wants to lose the other 20 pounds I'm just not sure what to tell him other than stay the course and the weight including water weight will fall off. Is this good advice or should I have him doing something else too? Oh also he is exercising doing weightlifting 3 to 4 times a week but not much in the way of cardio because he doesn't want to lose any of the muscle he is gaining which cardio can do. Anyhow, I'm looking forward to hearing from the community thank you.

After about 6 months as raw vegan 80/10/10 still experiencing gut fermentation. I reread 80/10/10 book and noticed in part of it said that the large intestine can form outpockets that ferment old foods. I have noticed that I'm feeling better as my body continues to detox out of all of the old toxins I use to eat. Anyone else ever dealt with gut fermentation?

I'm looking for a copy of the 80/10/10 Reference Guide having trouble finding one online the other Guide I have is worn out. I have a page with fruits and veggies I copied and laminated to Reference for now but I'd like to have another full copy. Cannot find on Amazon.com USA site or anywhere else. If anyone could help please let me know?

I'm a 3rd shifter and so I wake up in afternoon and before weightlifting I make a big salad every day because I enjoy it. Also, between making it and eating it; it takes me about 1.5 hours so I do not have time at work to eat it so the obvious choice is to eat it prior to work and I always eat prior to workout because it seems more satisfying to me. I'll typically have about 1.5 pounds of lettuce, 250 to 400 grams avocado blended for dressing with some chunks too, and one to three more vegetables like red onion, celery, and carrot for example. For my workout I use Kickoff App that a Certified Personal Trainer helps to setup for me with an exercise regiment she helped to designed to help me meet my fitness and body composition goals. For cardio I run 2 to 3 miles per week on average with some fasting running in there too so the majority of my workouts working out two days in a row with one day off so most weeks 4 to 5 days a week working out consist of weightlifting. So I wanted to ask the community if this salad is good to provide the energy and power needed to weightlift or if some better alternative of a meal would be better suited?
