Smoothies without berries

lifu1

I'm looking for more recipes but I notice that people tend to put berries in most smoothies. I can't eat fruit with seeds like that (I have ulcerative colitis)- I heard about banana & mango, does anyone have other suggestions? Thanks

Can't believe folks haven't responded! There are a ton of recipes online, but how about trying something with canned pumpkin (pumpkin, almond milk, protein powder, cinnamon, honey?), or a coffee-based one (coffee granules or prepared coffee, protein powder, almond mile, cocoa for a mocha-flavored one...etc etc.).

Or just use your regular base, i.e. plain almond milk, ice, whatever, and add flavored protein powder, like chocolate or strawberry?

Here are few that might work for you. I've tried a few of these unsweetened (just my preference), but these originals can be found at:

Super simple winter treat: 1 cup milk (dairy or nut or soy, whatever you like most), 1 medium banana (frozen or raw), 1 tsp honey and 0.5 tsp cinnamon.


Other additions work well too of course. Personally love a little bit of cardamom or grated coconut.


PS matcha-mango sounds awesome!
