Alright. You inspired me to try something new. I just happened to have a blender, that I never use.
My problem, is I eat prudent, but I find alot of the power foods I get, I cannot make meals with very easily. So I end up with alot of leftover things like, spinach, plain yogurt, almost dead bananas, berries etc etc.
So here is what I did.
I did 2 cups raw spinach, (sell by yesterday)
a banana (it was yellow, on the inside)
some blackberries 1/4 cup
a tablespoon peanut butter, the chunky natural stuff. BTW I HATE peanut butter
added some water.
In the end. It looked like Chocolate mousse, didn't taste too bad. BUT it was all in a single cup I could just gulp down easily.
So in the end it worked. I got through some questionable to expire foods, got 2 servings fruit, 2 cups spinach and some yogurt and peanut butter.
ALOT easier than if I tried to work those into meals.
Thanks. I will try this again.0 -
I've been having smoothies for lunch every day (almost...when I get to go home for lunch) and have been using a cup of frozen mixed berries (thawed), a few tbsps of yogurt, some cranberry juice and a handful of spinach. I can't even taste the spinach!!0

My question is - how do you get the consistency to stay smooth? Mine always congeal. Every time.0

1 cup almond milk, or milk of choice
1 ripe banana, preferably peeled + frozen
2 handfuls organic spinach
1 tbsp chia seeds OR 1 tbsp ground flax
1 tbsp nut butter, optional
1-3 ice cubes
protein powder of choice, optional
That's the recipe I was going to try, but I'm a little scared of it....lol. Yours sounds a little bit yummier than this one. Think I might try yours first and just add some ground flax to it for my heart
Mine included an apple and 1 cup blueberries and was yummy! I was surprised!Looking forward to trying with cucumber and zuchini. Mix it up a bit.

I drink mine right away or within a cuople hours if I can keep it cold. If it settles, put it in a shaker cup and shake away!0 -
