Ok so I am trying to get myself back on track and I am making smoothies for breakfast. What are some recipes you use? I may also mix it up on occasion and have my smoothie for lunch so any ideas are welcome.

    This is one of my favorites, note that the quantities are approximate: 1 banana, 1 cup coconut milk, 1-2 cups spinach or kale, about a teaspoon chia seeds, and about a teaspoon flax meal. Let the chia seeds soak in the milk for about 15 min to soften them up first!

    If you like gingerbread, Oxygen magazine has a recipe for a delicious Gingerbread cookie shake: 1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder, 1/2 scoop chocolate protein powder, 1/2 cup vanilla enriched Rice Dream, 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt, 1/2 tsp ginger, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1 T molasses, and ice cubes. Blend and drink ! Mmmmmm

    I also like a Creamsicle, which is a cup of orange juice (I get the Healthy kids kind with extra calcium and vitamins), half a scoop of vanilla protein powder (I’ve been getting spirulina), and a lowfat vanilla yogurt. Blend and drink.

    The Protein Packed Pina Colada smoothie is blended with the following ingredients: Cup cottage cheese, cup canned pineapple or cup pineapple juice, half a frozen banana, half a cup of milk, 1 T coconut, half a scoop vanilla protein powder, and a cup of ice cubes.

    The Key Lime Protein Shake is blended with half an avocado, juice of a lime, 2 tsp lime zest, 1 scoop of vanilla whey protein powder, 1 T coconut, a cup of milk, and 1-2 packets of Stevia (optional).

    The Chocolate Maple Shake is made by blending a cup of milk, 3 T protein powder, 1 T cocoa powder, and 1 tsp maple syrup

    Last but not least, for a change, I blend a cup of orange juice (I get the Healthy kids kind with extra calcium and vitamins), half a scoop of chocolate protein powder (I’ve been getting spirulina), and a lowfat coffee yogurt. Also good!

    My favorite smoothie right now is made up of:
    1. Half a cup of whatever fruit is in season/on sale that week. Usually a berry combo. Raspberries, strawberries, blueberries.
    2. 1/4 cup pure coconut water
    3. 2 oz (at least) fresh spinach
    4. 1/2 cup vanilla greek yogurt
    5. 1/2 banana
    6. Handful of ice cubes

    Delicious and filling and open for a variety of flavors depending on the fruit used. I've also made some with mango, peaches & blackberries.
