my favourite:
1 cup home fresh squeezed orange or tangelo juice
1 cup spinach or kale
1 banana
1 serve vanilla protein powder

Blend the OJ and greens together first, then add banana and protein powder, blend some more.
Bright green, beautiful!

1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/2 cup frozen blueberries
1 scoop strawberry protein powder
1 banana
1-2 cups baby spinach (whatever will fit in my nutribullet large cup)

340 calories for 2 cups 26 grams of protein. If its breakfast I drink the whole thing, If it's a snack, I give half to one of my kids.

You can do so many combinations of green smoothies. They are awesome! My Favourite is 1-2 cups of spinach, some frozen strawberries, pineapple, frozen peaches or fresh pear, a banana, some ice, a small container of yogurt and water. I don't slats add the yogurt but I am not a milk drinker so I need to get in some adds calcium.

I absolutely love putting pears in my green smoothies! Pineapples are great too... so much flavor.

I made another smoothie this morning. Strawberries, banana, tropical fruit juice, a couple spoonfuls of crushed pineapple, cherry yogurt, spinach and ice. I find that if I don't use a few ice cubes the drink seems too warm for me.

So many smoothies to look forward to! Mmmmmm. If anyone can list the calories of their smoothies, that would be great. I find one of the hardest things is having to figure out the calories when I'm hungry.

there are a couple of places- and the one I'm looking for I cannot find- but it gave great tips on which order to blend- like blend milk/fruit/liquid with spinnach first- THEN add fruits and stuff- it made a big difference.

I like the Dr. Oz energy smoothie - gives you tons of energy for the day. I don't have the calorie count

1 handful baby spinach
1/2 cup watermelon chunks
1/2 cup pineapple chunks
1/2 cup frozen blueberries
1/2 sliced granny smith apple (green apples have less sugar than others)
1 can coconut water (not milk. Get the kind that has no sugar added. SUPER hydrating)

The closest grocery store is a little over 2 hours from my house. As soon as I go to town I will be getting fresh and frozen produce to add to my smoothies!
