Jesus christ man, just buy a kit and water once in the morning and be done with it.

I was sick for 6 days. throwing up everything. I finally got a multi vitamin down without throwing it up and my body was like oh I forgot I like vitamins and minerals. So I think it is still good to take them.

When it comes to smoothies i dunno I throw all sorts of stuff in them. I have been sprouting lately. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01AJJOJD0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I love this thing. you can sprout all sorts of stuff and blend it or eat it or blanch and season them.

This isn't a smoothie but I have been making this (pera Pina) lately and it is delicious. plus pineapple has a natural anti-inflammatory chemical in it especially in the rind and core-plus I love the idea of not wasting food. https://www.dominicancooking.com/960-pera-pina-pineapple-and-rice-juice.html

Apparently Kiwis are really high in vitamin C and really good for you. high fiber if you google it.

I also make what I call banana milk ripe bananas and milk. it is delicious. If you tend to not eat all your bananas and they are getting to ripe skin them and freeze them to make the milk later. Bananas are so cheap. could add peanut butter I guess. A couple of times I added chai latte mix.

If you buy fresh produce like radishes or carrots you can wash and blanch the greens, let them cool then blend them with an apple and a banana, kiwi, honey, etc.

Do your blender a favor and cut everything up to not stress your blender. they are expensive.

maybe not healthy but mango and carrot smoothies are delicious.

I've been growing sprouts with this for about ten months now with no issues. I eat them daily, but never expected to "feel" a difference or improvement.

Just in case anyone reading this tries, you don't grow sprouts in a sealed jar. It CAUSES contamination and rot.

You use a sieve type lid to promote draining and ventilation.

An alternative to a sieve lid is pantyhose, the point of this post.

The best way IMO is a Tray Seed Sprouter

You don't need any gardening skills to grow them! (Take it from me, I have a brown thumb.) Just get a container like this, add seeds and water, and the sprouts start growing within a few days. It's pretty fun!

Does this version have the "hydrophobic surface that prevents clumping" ?

The link you listed says that is an older version of the product: https://www.amazon.com/Deluxe-Kitchen-Sprouter-VICTORIO-VKP1200/dp/B01AJJOJD0/ref=dp_ob_title_garden

Any suggestions for growing them? I was going to order this:

I love my 4-Tray Seed Sprouter by VICTORIO . (I recommend the newer version over the older one because of the new watering lid, which prevents the seeds in the top tray from moving around while watering)

I'm actually just about to buy a second one for non-broccoli sprouts

Use on of those stackable sprouters, like [this](Deluxe Kitchen Crop 4-Tray Seed Sprouter by VICTORIO VKP1200 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AJJOJD0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_LX0iDbNBKB98H)

What type are you referring to?

microgreens and sprouts would be great. sprouts don't need any light. you can buy a little tower for them like this. microgreens don't need much light--just enough to green up for a few days. my favorite are black oil sunflower. they make great salads. there are a lot of guides online to get started. space wise you just need a shelf to put a tray (or more if you want). i use 1020 trays, but you can do whatever size works for you. 2 weeks and you have salad!

I use this:

Actually I have two of them. It comes with directions, but basically you just pour a cup or two of water in the top tray a couple of times a day, keep them wet and rinsed, and viola! 3 days later you've got sprouts! I start one tray MOnday, one Tuesday, one Wednesday, etc. so they are staggered and I have sprouts for every day.

I like the above trays, but if I could find a similar set up with metal trays, I would use that. Sprouts have the potential of growing gnarly bacteria, and I wash my trays with bleach between sprouting sessions. If they were metal I think I could get away with just pouring boiling water over them, and I think that would be more environmentally friendly, and more healthy, than using bleach.

Do be very careful about bacteria - I've never gotten sick from sprouts, but my brother (who lives in a house) has, and he said it was really bad.
