Nice cheat! I’ll try flax seeds in my soup next time.
Regarding the combinations, you could probably guess that citrus would be in the Acid grouping. Pineapple, Mangos, berries and tomatoes are too.
The sub acid fruit grouping contains stuff like apples, pears, peach, cherries, nectarines and apricots and puns. Those sub acid fruits mix well with the acids and vegetables.
The sweet grouping I mentioned was stuff like prunes, raisins, and dates. They don’t mix well with acid fruits. I’m glad I looked this up again.
Melons are different somehow and should be eaten alone or else all the bananas on the earth with spontaneously combust! 😁 (jk) Bananas are considered a starch. Starches have specifics too.
I guess it’s a little confusing sometimes. The approach is to maximize the digestion efforts in our stomachs by avoiding a mix of the various ways our stomachs break down those foods (enzymes and stuff).
For example a horrible combination would be a pineapple, banana, and watermelon smoothie. It’s not gonna kill anyone and it probably tastes good, but our bodies will take a little long to break it down and some of it might not break down completely.
I learned this from a book called “The Tao of Heath, Sex, and Longevity” by Daniel P. Reid. The book gets really specific.
Donuts combine with everything. 😬
Vegetables combine well with almost everything.
Online... At a quick glance, this seems familiar: http://www.raw-food-health.net/Raw-Food-Combining.html
If you get a chance try parsley or cilantro in your smoothie. I loved that. I miss it. I’m gonna start again.

Sounds very interesting but I think I'll just stick to eating what I wanna eat.. Haha, seems to be working out fine. 😂 It's less complicated too 😜

Good! It does get over complicated. I usually say something similar to people that inquire about it. Stressing out about it and changing our behavior can be a real drag too. I trusted in your convictions. Our bodies know what we like and what we can tolerate.
That book even has a section that talks about simply enjoying the things that you enjoy. My friend said “monks” call it a “goop day.” A day to just... not care and be alive or whatever. 😁😁😁
