smoothies...

I'm new to smoothies, in fact I've never made one. I have a smoothie maker, and was wondering what some of the healthy recipes you use? Something to keep you full.

Thank you x

1 cup fruit juice (i prefer organic and 100 percent mango), 1 cup spinach, 1 banana, 1 cup strawberries (other fruit), add a few ice and BLEND A LOT, LIKE A LOT, TILL THE SPINACH IS GONE! It's around 300ish calories and it's good for lunch ! Makes about 4 cups!

My favorite is a protein shake, but it is delicious! Tastes just like an orange Julius from Dairy Queen

1 cup orange juice
1 cup plain Greek yogurt (sometimes I'll only do 1/2 a cup)
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
2 tbs ground flaxseed
5-6 (large) ice cubes

342 calories

I will usually drink this after a workout or for breakfast if I am in a hurry. You could add spinach or almonds to it as well, but I like to keep mine simple

I've been having them for the past month.

I start with a little crushed ice,
water (not juice),
frozen berries or mangos,
1 scoop of vanilla protein (pea or whey)
1 capfull of vanilla extract,
1 TB of either ground flax or chia seeds
1 scoop of Amazing Grass Super Greens (totally unnecessary, I just happen to have it and it seems to give me energy)

and I put it in my blender using the High speed/ice crusher function. Delicious and it comes in handy now that I am forcing myself to have regular meals instead of just enormous meal at night.
I also like them right after a hard workout, bc sometimes I feel nauseated after I workout super hard, but still have to get my nutrients in.

This morning I added half of a Haas avocado (sounds disgusting) but it was soooo good.

One day, I made the mistake of adding fresh kale because it was one those "Pinteresting" things to do and: worst.smoothie.ever. It tasted like grass and had the consistency of shards of mulch. I still drank it. But never again.
