Veggie smoothies

Is there a good smoothie recipe that I can use frozen mixed veggies with?

    ... Like V8? I've always wished for a savory protein shake mix... If you find something good let me know.

    You can experiment to create your own or just google for smoothie recipes with vegetables and find one that looks worth trying. My smoothies tend to have a lot of veg, although in my mind some work (based on the the taste going or a neutral taste) and some would not. Frozen mixed veg seem likely to have some I'd avoid, but you can try.

    Veg I use in smoothies a lot -- greens, especially kale and spinach, but plenty of others too.
    Cucumbers
    Fennel
    Zucchini or other summer squash
    Winter squash, include spaghetti squash (usually roasted first)
    Cauliflower
    Various herbs
    Less often but sometimes: beets, jicama
    I've tried others.

    I also often use avocado, which is of course a fruit.

    Mine aren't very sweet but they aren't savory. I usually add strawberries or some other fruit. (Not bananas, as I hate bananas in a smoothie.)

    I had beets, spinach, and avocado in my smoothie today (along with cashew milk, yogurt, protein powder, cocoa, and ice). Yummy.

    I really like the orange veggies too - pumpkin, butternut squash, carrots, sweet potatoes. Sometimes I make it easy by using baby food.
