Energizing smoothies?

Amarie295

My boyfriend and I got one of those awesome Ninja blenders as a gift last Christmas, and I am trying to find some new ways to make some healthy smoothies, particularly ones that I can make for breakfast and that will give me a decent amount of energy. I have thought about using protein powder for the energy bit, but there are soooo many of those to choose from that I don't even have any idea where to begin! If anyone has any suggestions I would be super grateful!

I also am having a hard time getting into the fruit and veggie mixed smoothies, I have yet to try one that I can stomach. I love love love fruit, but the veggies are tough for me. Any suggestions on what veggies to incorporate without messing up the delicious fruity flavor? Thank you

I eat fruits and veggies. I don't need a smoothie for that.


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 or Greek vanilla (or plain or coffee) yogurt. Blend and drink.

The Key Lime Protein Shake is blended with the 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!
