how to make a smoothie??

Fat2FitAmanda

I made a reallllly good one yesterday with frozen strawberries and blueberries, 1 vanilla yoplait, and a little milk. I have a crappy blender so I used my Pampered Chef Manual Food Processor and it was perfect! I'm glad I came on here to check for some ideas!!

if I make a smoothie and drink part now and part later am I logging all the ingredients in my list separately (half the amounts now and half later) or am I creating a recipe and identifying a serving size?

I would think that it would work out to be the same totals but it wasn't when I tried it.
I may have done something wrong?
Is one way more acceptable over the other? (or more accurate I guess is the better word)?

thanks

take your fav fruits and veggies add to blender with yogurt blend tell smooth and add ice and enjoy you can make just about any flavor you can imagine

Some people add protein powder into the mix as well

I usually use a combination of different things, but my main one is:
banana, cup of frozen strawberries, handful of blueberries, teaspoon of honey, handful of baby spinach, 1/4 cup sliced cucumber with skin, couple mango slices, greek yogurt(about 6 oz.), 2 tbsp ground flax, then a cup of milk/water.

Here's a recipe for a pumpkin smoothie: http://bonzaiaphrodite.com/2010/10/playing-with-pumpkin-raw-pumpkin-pie-raw-pumpkin-breakfast-smoothie/

Mess around with combinations. Try sticking some kale in there. Lots of greens will affect the flavor depending on how much you add.
