    Just curious if you're still on here Curly...

    What vitamins and why? Depending on the vitamin, you'll do just fine meeting your needs with the healthy foods you're listing.

    What kind of food do you make?

    It's not obvious to me, other than I assume blender time with the fruits is smoothies, how you prepare/plan to prepare your food.

    Ie: you can make your own kickass hummus with the olive oil, garbanzos, and juice from the lemons. Plus garlic - which isn't on the list. My current favorite thing to make is Indian food, so I'd approach all these ingredients with a whole lot more spice than you've listed here than if I were in a pan-Asian style stir-fry phase, in which case I'd add tamari sauce, rice or umi plum vinegar, and possibly buckwheat/soba noodles to the grocery list. For Northern Mediterranean dishes, I'd be adding kalamata olives, specifically feta cheese, and balsamic vinegar to the tomatoes, cucumber, and olive oil already listed.

    Avocados are a great source of fat and coconut oil is as well, especially for high heat cooking, but still, it depends on HOW you eat/cook.
    • Herbs are fantastic, and shown to prevent certain illnesses. Cilantro for that humus being discussed, rosemary for cognition, garlic (and leeks) for a healthy heart (among many others).

      Also, kale and collard greens are as healthy as spinach and very rich in phytonutrients and essential minerals. Broccoli and other cruciferous veggies are great cancer fighters.

      This is a great initiative...also, grapeseed oil, which is heart-healthy too.
