Thanks a lot this is very helpful....
I appreciate your help with this Mr. JJswbs.
I actually use my vita mix and by the time I'm done the whole jar is almost filled to the top. I normally drink 8oz (1 serving for me) each time and I get about 4 glasses out of the batch. So I'm thinking according to your calculation I'm probably drinking about 125 cal per 8oz glass. Does this sound accurate to you?
This is very helpful for me and it allows me to adjust the ingredients (add more veggie and less high sugar fruit) and watch my calorie intake.
Thanks again.....

Way to Go!
Wow that's great. I'm hoping to get to that point. I'm just now starting a good speed walk program and adding jogging in.... but I''m a long way away from 4 miles (lol).
