Need filling, fat-burning smoothie!

lissypriss

Ok, I'm new to the smoothie craze, and I'm wanting a filling, tasty, fat-burning smoothie recipe! I now own my own small bakery, and I'm constantly on my feet and haven't got time to sit and eat a meal for most of the day, so I really need something that doesn't require buying an entire section of the grocery store for it's ingredients! LOL! Fire away with your favorites, I'm willing to try anything!

I make mine with frozen strawberries, blueberries, 1 banana, a little V-8 lite juice, green tea, flax seed, chia seeds and greek yogurt. This has been my breakfast every day for at least 6 months. I never ate breakfast before, just didn't like options and was always hungry soon after eating cereal.

I don't have the time for anything with more than three ingredients anymore, haha. I keep a bag of frozen fruit on hand - strawberries, peaches, etc. Grab a handful, spoon in a wallop of plain, lowfat yogurt and a little water and pop it on the "bullet" mixer. Thick, tasty and very filling for me. Cheap and low in calories.

Banana blueberry spinach

1 C soymilk
1 banana
1 C raw spinach
1 C frozen blueberries
4 T soy protein powder
2 T torani sugar-free almond syrup
1/2 C cold water

Mango strawberry banana papaya

1 C soymilk
1 banana
1 C frozen mango strawberry papaya fruit
4 T soy protein powder
2 T torani sugar-free vanilla syrup
1/2 C cold water

I make both of these (in larger quantities, because this is one adult serving) for me and my 6 year old. They're 300-400 cals at this size. I figure if I can get my son to drink them every morning, they can't be all that bad.

You can also add 1 T ground flax seed for your omega 3 and 1 t psyllium for fiber. Both are good ideas for making them more filling.

Enjoy!! Smoothies are a fast and easy way to start the day.

This Green Smoothie is around 300 calories and a fully nutritional and filling meal:
You can't taste the spinach

1 cup unsweetened Almond Milk
1/4 cup 0% Greek yogurt
1 scoop Vanilla Whey Protein powder (calories may vary on brand)
2-4 servings Psyllium husk
2 handfuls baby spinach (I buy the large package at warehouse store)
1 cup Frozen Blueberries or strawberries
a little sweetener or a tiny amount of a sugar free jello powder for more flavor

This requires a full size blender, I use a Vitamix, but oster also works :bigsmile:

Don't know about fat burning, but this is a quick one that doesn't need many ingredients

3ounces (about 1/4 of a large can of Frozen juice concentrate (I like the old orchard brands)
3ounces of fat free vanilla yogurt (greek or regular style)
1/2 cup fat free milk
Tsp honey(optional)
1cup fresh spinach (optional)
Blend in blender until smooth
Add 1/2 cup of ice (about 5or 6 cubes) and blend for 30 seconds til ice is crushed

You can also add protein powder if you are trying to increase protein.

Makes one large 12+oz smoothie

I posted this recipe a few weeks ago. It's quite tasty. I really enjoy it. It's from my running magazine.

1/3 cup (75 ml) chilled water
1 scoop (30 g) vanilla flavoured protein powder (I use sugar free)
1/4 cup (60 ml) pure pumpkin puree
1 tbsp. (15 ml) liquid honey
1 tsp. (5 ml) finely grated orange zest
1 tsp (5 ml) grated fresh ginger
1/4 tsp. (1 ml) ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. (1 ml) ground cardamom
2 ice cubes


Place all ingredients in a blender and pulse until combined.

Per Serving:

200 Calories
0 g Fat
12 g Protein
40 g Carbohydrates
6 g Fibre
161 mg Sodium
18 g Sugar *estimated*

The sugar wasn't listed in the recipe but I use a sugar free powder, the pumpkin is 2 g and the honey is 16 g. I guess you could leave the honey out for a lower sugar version. It really doesn't need it, or maybe even half the amount......

I don't know if this is fat-burning, but I like it, especially before or after a workout. You can play with the amounts to get it to your liking:

- 1 5.3oz container of Dannon Oikos Nonfat Greek yogurt (pick your fave flavor; I usually use vanilla or honey)
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract (or any other flavored extract you like)
- A frozen banana (or some other frozen fruit)
- Two pieces of semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 Tbsp canned pumpkin pie filling
- Just enough ice water and/or ice to get it to the consistency you want

I sometimes top this with 2 Tbps of light whipped cream... yummy!

I just found some interesting flavored extracts online that I plan to order: http://www.americanspice.com/flavorings-and-extracts/?sort=avgcustomerreview

Hope you find something you like!

A simple smoothie I make each morning:

1 medium banana
1c frozen strawberries
2 large kale leaves
1c of water


I also have a juicer so sometimes instead of blending the kale I will juice kale & rhubarb first and add it to the smoothie mixture.

My recipes were for one serving!
