    I made two smoothies today (I guess the first one was more of a juice-mix though) and they both turned out delicious! I experimented a bit by adding things from our garden (black currants and peppermint leaves) and it was a success!

    First:

    1 cup Orange juice
    5 frozen home grown strawberries
    1 handful black currants
    4 peppermint leaves
    1/2 banana


    Second smoothie

    2 cups low fat vanilla yoghurt
    8 frozen home grown strawberries
    2 handfuls black currants
    7 peppermint leaves
    I topped it off with whole fresh raspberries to add some chunkiness

    I find that banana or orange cover up the green taste! I use to drink smoothies every morning and it'd be: 1-2 handfuls spinach, celery, 1/2 orange or banana, greek yogurt, sometimes flax seed and water to help blend.

    My favorite smoothie recipe is:

    1 cup coconut milk beverage blended with 1 cup each:
    packed spinach or kale leaves
    cucumber slices
    pineapple
    orange segments

    I also like to throw in a few mint leaves to give a nice freshness to it.

    Ooh, ^^this one just took cuts in the 'up next' line. The beet/blueberry one from the MFP fitness blog sounds good too.

    My current smoothie is almond milk, blueberries, banana, mango - with or without kale/spinach (depends on whether I have some on hand).

    You can also soak 1 tablespoon of chia seeds in milk for about 10-15 minutes. Has a lot of health benefits and will keep you fuller longer. They really have no taste. I dont even know they r there and i stay full till lunch.
