i think what you may have read is its better to get nutrients from food because of the other health benefits such as fiber and antioxidants. it's true that you will likely absorb more from food because the nutrients are not provided in one dose like a multivitamin. for example calcium is better absorbed when giving through out the day instead of one big dose. it would be impossible to put together a drink with food that had 100% daily value of vitamins and minerals like a multivitamin has. instead work to get the recommended amount of food in your daily diet. smoothies with fruits vegetables and yogurt can help you meet your produce goal (5 or more daily). to figure out your needs based on your indiviual needs go to choosemyplate. gov
what fruits/vegitables can i mix in a blender to make a healthshake that has all the viamins/nutrients of a multivitamin. i'm wanting to make a shake that is 20oz or less that has all the vitamins and nutrients i need. i read that multivitamins like centrum or shakes like ensure are somewhat ineffective because the vitamins don't absorb as well as they do from natural foods. . so what i want to do is make a drink that will replace my daily multivitamin. i want it to be made from as few ingredients as possible and not taste too horrific. any advice or resources would be greatly appreciated. <positive_smiley>
