That will give you a 10 oz drink per person. Adjust up or down if it is for smaller kids or adults. Hope that helps. @Linda – for each person you will be serving you’ll need approximately 1/2 banana, 1/2 cup of other fruit and 1/4 cup liquid of your choice (rice milk, soy milk, water, juice, milk, yogurt, etc).

My suggestion would be to move towards a more whole-food plant based diet. Eliminate processed foods from your diet. Also stay away from breads that have little or no fiber. Good luck! Check out my post on "The Secrets to Healthy Living." You'll find a link to my ebook which outlines this all in greater detail. Good luck! @yeseniaa – Congrats on becoming meat free.
