That sounds amazing!

I like putting 1 sliced star fruit, 1/2 punnet strawberries, 1 cut apple in to a blender with just a little water, it makes 2 large smoothies but I have no idea on the nutritional content!

i love smoothies, just never know what to put in them
thanks !

My current recipe

A carton of strawberries
A carton of respberries
2 peaches (not peeled)
2 bannanas
and just enough OJ for it to blend togather. I used around 3 table spoons

Then seperate the mix into individual plastic bags and freeze. I eat a smoothie for breakfast in the morning so I take out a baggie the night before and let if thaw. In the morning I mix it with OJ to delute it (I do not advise drinking the mixture with out deluting it because you will end up on the tolet). This process allows me to keep a good fruit mixture around without having to worry about it going bad!

banana's

any frozen fruit -usually two or three of the following -blueberries, strawberries, pineapple, raspberries, mango, peach (If I have fresh fruit I will use it but I always make sure I have frozen.)

Either OJ or Apple juice
Ice

I usually make enough for me and the kids.

I love mine!

1/2 banana
1/2 cup pineapple
1 c spinach
1 c light vanilla soy milk

I usually freeze the banana. Just mix it all together and blend! I promise you do not taste the spinach! I use this in the mornings or after morning workouts. Plus, it is 3 servings of your fruit n veggies in one!

I need to buy a new blender so I can make my own!

Until then I go to a local place for smoothies!

I am meeting a friend there in about 40 min!! LOL It just might be my Spring/Summer pregnancy staple. I had one the other day that was their fresh apple juice, blueberries, banana, raspberry sherbet,non-fat yogurt and ice.

Yes, it was GOOD!!

Has anyone heard of Green Smoothies? I read a book "Green for Life" and "Living on Live Food". They are part of the raw food diet. Now, I am not trying to go raw but I am trying to incorporate raw foods into my diet. (And I am not talking about raw meat!) One of the things I do is a Green Smoothie. A green smoothie is a blended drink of fruits and veggies. I have tried many different recipes and found that Kale is my favorite veggie for them although you can use any green veggie. Here is my smoothie receipe:

1 bunch of Kale
4 cups of fresh strawberries (not package or bought frozen) (You buy fresh and freeze yourself)
8oz of freshly squeezed orange juice
16oz of water

Blend until smooth.

You can substitute to make the perfect smoothie for you by changing the fruits and veggies or adding more or less water and juice. I also like this same recipe but instead of strawberries, I use pineapples. Taste great and makes you full. I don't like to be hungry and when you are trying to lose weight, hunger is the enemy. This will crave that because of the fiber and antioxidants in this drink. If you try it let me know!

Is there a reason why you have to freeze the strawberries yourself? I usually buy frozen strawberries with no added sugar or perservates.

I had one after the gym today that had fresh OJ, strawberries, blueberries, non-fat yogurt and ice. And I had them put a "boost" of soy protein in it!

It was GREAT!!! It is official. Smoothies are my craving right now in this pregnancy! Hey, I guess it could be worse!! :laugh:
