Over half, if not 2/3 of these recipes use bananas, and most of them are not useable for diabetics with arthritis due to the high carbohydrate count from all the fruit sugars.I found that my arthritis is better if I eat at least 1 hard boiled egg per day.  It also improved more when I ditched my whey protein powder for soy protein.So, in these smoothies I would substitute a hard boiled egg for a banana, and add a tablespoon of tasteless soy protein and half tablespoon of chia seeds to help make up the missing banana bulk.  I can still only drink one half of most the heavy fruit smoothies though, in a single meal due to the carbs.  I'm sort of stuck with green smoothies only.Good nutritional information though!  I have been using ginger, turmeric. cinnamon and unalkalinized cocoa powder daily, when I forget those, my knees remind me.
