It seems to me that cooking with heat or even microwaving creates more heat than the blades of a blender. Does this make sense?
What I want is a mixture of things so I use a blender. For my breakfast I drink about 20 ounces of the following: 3 oranges, 1 banana, acai pulp (Sambazon brand), some juice like pomegranate, ground flaxseed. I blend that and then introduce some ice cubes that get crushed in all this.
I figure I am getting vitamin C, potassium, omega 3 fat and fiber, antioxidants. What I am not getting is protien and other vitamins.
