One of my favorite smoothies is the green smoothie:
1 cups of either vanilla flavored coconut or almond milk ( I use coconut milk since it has less calories and sugar)
Handful of spinach
1 frozen banana
Spoonful of almond or peanut butter (like 1 - 2 tablespoons)
Mix all in blender, add more milk if too thick unless you like it that way. You do not taste the spinach at all, all you taste is bananas and almond butter. Peanut butter would work fine too. Even though this has a lot of calories it is nutritious but I don't recommend you drink this one all the time. I'll have it occasionally for dinner or it makes a good start to your day.
Trader Joe's Vanilla Coconut Milk - 90 calories for 1 cup
Raw spinach - 10 calories for a good handful
Bananas -70 calories each
Trader Joe's almond butter - 90 calories for 2 tbls.0 -

I made this today for lunch and it turned out to be pretty good:
- half a banana
- 1 cup of frozen berries
- 1 cup of nondairy milk (I don't think it matters, but I've been drinking Karma's Vanilla Flax Milk)
- 3/4 cup of kale, 1/4 of spinach or just 1 cup of kale
- 2 scoops of Aria's Vanilla Protein Powder for Women
Yields 1. 300 calories. A tablespoon of almond butter (I haven't tried it with this) would be another 95.
1. Blend the milk and the greens first.
2. Add in the fruits and the protein powder and blend completely again.
- you'll need at least some frozen berries to thicken the smoothie. I personally prefer using frozen food to ice.0 -
Yummy, thanks to all of you for your ideas0

Wow that's a lot of smoothie recipes!
I usually freelance with whatever I have in the fridge, but if I ever get one that I've made a bit too veggie I have a smoothie rescue. 3 teaspoons of cocoa powder (adds about 50 calories) but makes edible any smoothie where I've got the veggie/fruit balance wrong0 -
Berry Smoothie:
1 cup fruit juice (I usually use apple or orange that I juice myself)
1/2 cup frozen wild Maine blueberries
1/2 cup frozen blackberries, raspberries or strawberries (or combination of all)
2 tablespoons plain Greek nonfat or lowfat yogurt
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
1 tablespoon nut butter of your choice or 1/2 banana
blend all for 2 minutes and enjoy. Above receipe makes 1 smoothie0 -
green smoothie:
1 cup green apple juice (juiced from granny smith apples) or 1 cup coconut water
handful or two of kale or spinach (no stalks)
1/2 cup frozen mango pieces
1/2 cup frozen pineapple pieces
2 tablespoons Greek plain nonfat or lowfat yogurt
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
blend for 2 minutes and enjoy. Makes 1 smoothie.0
