Smoothie recipes needed

Jennifernellwebb

I make smoothies everyday for my husband and I. Lately, they have actually been my lunch. I have a really hard time just sitting and eating any type of fruit so I turned that in to my smoothie a/k/a my sweet treat everyday. My husband loves it when I mix them up,but most of the time, my smoothies are right around 300 calories and I use 1/2 cup of fat free milk, 1/2 orange, 1/2 to 1 banana 4 large strawberries, 1/2 peach, and or apple along with a fiber one 50 yogurt. I love the yogurts because of the fiber and I just throw it all in a blender, skin and all ( not banana ) and mix it up with ice. My hubby is addicted!! Plus, I get my fruits everyday and it is simple for me. I know that I get my daily requirements in a very large smoothie, I might add. I tried to blend up my veggies once and although I drank it, I hated it!!! I will not be doing that again. I just enjoy that nice fresh salad with dinner every evening. I cut my veggies ahead of time and just grab and make my salads. Fruits and veggies daily............. check!

My smoothies change with what I have left. My favorite one though will always be this:

small handful of frozen strawberries
1 small banana (or half a large one, eat the other half!)
some fresh pineapple (a little less in volume of the strawberries)
extra ice

Blend together until creamy; top with whip and pomegranate.

I pretty much drink the same smoothie every day with some variation. If I am using protein powder, I use 1 scoop plus 1 tbs peanut or almond butter, 1/2 cup of frozen blueberries and 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk. If not using protein powder I use 1 container of either light n fit or activia yogurt. Sometimes I add 1 cup of baby spinach if I have it in the house. If I am jonesing for chocolate I'll add 1 tbs of cocoa powder and that's in addition to the chocolate protein powder!

I use about the same base, but change up the fruit in it depending on my mood.

-1/2 cup of fit and active vanilla yogurt
-1/2 cup of fit and active vanilla soymilk
-3/4 cup of ice
-sometimes about 1/2 tbsp of honey

I usually use a banana almost everytime, because I love bananas. But I've done everything from canned pineapple, to frozen mixed berries, to frozen blueberries, to frozen mango, to canned mandarin oranges, to frozen peaches. Be creative with the fruit.
