This is hands down so good... And right at 100 calories..
1/3 cup of frozen blueberries
6 frozen strawberries
1/3 cup dannon light and fit Greek vanilla yogurt
1 cup baby spinach

Mine tend to be higher cal, with plenty of fat, as for me they are a full meal, and people tend to think they sound weird, but eh.

My current favorite is winter squash, half an avocado, some almond butter (or some other sort of nut butter or else seeds), protein powder (I'm back on a protein powder kick, for a while I would add protein only from yogurt, chickpeas/white beans, and/or tofu, all of which are pretty neutral and add some body), lots of spinach or kale, a zucchini, and then either blueberries or strawberries (frozen).

Last night’s desser smoothie was

1c homemade almond milk
Squirt of vanilla
113gr cottage cheese
Banana
14gr Jordan’s Peppermint Bark sugar free syrup
A ton of ice

It came out pure white and tasted like I’d always imagined snow ice cream tasted. Def a do over.

Problem is, I get chills after eating a smoothie and that leads to full body shivers. I have to make sure I’m wrapped in a blanket and wearing a coat when I eat one. I told my husband it reminded me a dog we had as a kid. He always got a cup of ice cream when we kids got cones (mostly to keep the tears at bay when he’d inevitably steal ours). He’d gulp the thing down and then spend an hour shivering. I sympathize with poor ol’ Red these days.

I don’t feel like smoothies fill me up at all. I need to chew to get that feeling of fullness, even if it’s the same amount of calories. 🤷‍♀️

1 large frozen banana
100g frozen spinach
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp cocoa powder
1 tsp vanilla extract

It's a nice frozen treat for me that uses up any spinach I didn't finish that week.

It's not too bad on the calorie front either, the banana is most of the calories.

My go-to lately has been kale, soy milk, vanilla vegan protein powder, dates, flax seeds, chia seeds, coconut yogurt, cinnamon and peanut butter. Absolutely delicious and fills me up for a couple of hours!

I love hot soups instead, so much more filling. Smoothies just don’t cut it; I think fruit is so much better to eat whole. And it’s apple season.

Just wanted to add that I also make the following substitutions sometimes:

For the greens:
Beets
Rhubarb

For the Cherries:
Blueberries
Berry blend

These are all really good, especially the rhubarb which I have only found frozen in the US at Sprouts.

Not sure if I can call it a smoothie (it’s more juice like).

Avocado
1/2 Peeled lemon
Banana
kale
Spinach
Water
Ice

Sometimes:
I skip the avocado or add some frozen mango.

This is my smoothie protocol:
I keep frozen banana in my freezer- they are the backbone of each smoothie for coolness and thickness
I always use cinnamon(antioxidant that lowers blood sugar), I use coconut sugar to sweeten(I don’t like agave- so I want a lower GI than sugar, but feel free to use this or honey if you need a little sweetener), and chia seeds(omega and fiber rich and they thicken the smoothies as they hydrate)- these are my staples.
Sometimes I also use nuts or a spoon of peanut butter or avocado- sometimes I need the creaminess.
my ratio is 2/3rds veggies(usually spinach- but carrots, tomatoes, green carrot, kale, broccoli, beets, organic cucumbers, celery- no lettuce for me-it changes the flavor) and 1/3rd frozen fruit or berries.
And I use coconut water or water- I don’t enjoy nut, seed or dairy milk or yoghurt- but these are options if you prefer
a couple of ice cubes because sometimes the coolness can mask sharpness of some of the veggies if you are not used to the “raw” taste of veggies
I try to use what I have, try to use seasonal, and keep in mind flavors that combine well, i.e.-Apples, carrots, and fresh ginger work well together.
They average 300 - 325 calories- but with a 24 oz yield that takes me all morning to drink and I tend not be starving for lunch- it’s worth it to me as a meal replacement
