No prob.

FYI - The wheat has a sawdust consistency and is kinda gross. I think I would do it without that. Although I know that´s what adds all the fiber and maybe it´s necesary to help cleanse your system the first day. I drank it but it was a challenge.

Instead of wheat you can add a soy protien powder. They are available in Vanilla, Chocolate or no flavor. That is what I do when I make a smoothie.

No problem! I love making smoothies! So much cheaper than buying them and so healthy.

I actually make mine a little different then you do. I just add fresh or frozen fruit to a blender with ice, soy protein powder and orange juice. If you are using frozen fruit then you do not need to use ice. I usually add one banana, strawberries, raspberries and pineapple.
