Hey RR - Sorry you got so sick, with a smoothie like that, I think I'd get sick too! I love avocado but never had an avocado smoothie! Sounds a little too rich for me. Also lentils in a smoothie don't sound like something up my alley.

I usually make my smoothies with lots of bananas (3-4 spotted ripe bananas) and fresh OJ or water as a base. I'll add other fresh and/or frozen fruit like peaches, mangos, strawberries, etc. Sometimes a handful of greens like spinach. And that is it.

Avocado is a fruit, but a fatty fruit so may not always mix well with other fruits because of the natural sugars and fat combination not digesting well. Many people have digestive difficulties eating beans as well.

Not sure which chart you are referring to, I know that Dr. Doug Graham has a very extensive food combining chart with nearly ever food imagineable, even foods he doesn't suggest eating, for clarity purposes.

About the avocado diet, it sounds like a bit of a rough mono-diet to me. I've done a banana diet and it was nice. There are 30 grams of fat in an avocado so that might be overloading your system with trying to process all of that fat and very little carbs. Have you ever thought about doing a banana diet? Or a mango diet? Or melons? I think your body might like that better.
