Does anyone have any low carb smoothie recipes please?
I have ordered some protein powder, cold pressed flax seed oil and almond milk off the net and can't find the smoothie recipe that I got the ingredients from! haha! I'm sure it had frozen berries in it? I have been putting the ingredients into MFP and it comes to about 25g carbs which is most of my daily carb allowance!!

My fav is one scoop chocolate whey protein, 1 cup unsweet vanilla almond milk, and one tbsp peanut butter, about 4 ice cubes. Blend until thick and frothy. Put in the freezer for about thirty minutes to an hour, top w/ sugar free whipped cream and you have a fantastic sbstitute for peanut butter chocolate ice cream. Comes out to 9 carbs total, 3 net carbs and about 230 calories for a HUGE glass. Very filling!!!!0

Thanks for the recipe. I will add in frozen spinach instead of the ice cubes to boost my iron, vitamins, and fiber intake though. 0 -

I'm just bumping to burn some calories.
Thanks for the recipes! Sounds good, and that icecream one sounds good too. Must try!!! 0 -
I make a good "chocolate milk" made with protein and unsweetened almond milk.
1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (you can use chocolate)
1 tbsp flax seed oil
2 raw eggs
15 grams chocolate whey protein (about half a serving)
2 packets splenda (when I'm out of stevia)
The chocolate is light enough to not taste like whey protein. I also like to put in an ice cube to get it super cold first before I drink. Sometimes I blend it in, and sometimes I don't.0 -
bumping!
I always blend together the unsw. almond milk and cream.... never did cream and water. I like them thick, so I add extra cream. But now that you mention putting it in the freezer... hmmm!0 -
I love, love, love, spinach, but raw in a salad or sauteed with butter and garlic PLEASE!OMG! Must have this!!!! This sounds so amazing Thanks for the recipe. I will add in frozen spinach instead of the ice cubes to boost my iron, vitamins, and fiber intake though.
In a protein shake? I don't think so.0 -
Spinach in a fruit flavored smoothie is painless-honestly!
Don't go crazy--1/4 c or 1/2 c of leaves.
I've recently decided to go with kale instead of spinach. I like that better. 0 -

I totally agree! can't taste the veggies at all. I also LOVE frozen broccoli and it is easy to keep on hand! I really do not like my smoothies anymore without some veggie added too:bigsmile:0 -

I make this same thing all the time... if I have it before a workout, sometimes I will add a half a banana (for longer workouts, to help me through) and I call it a Chunky Monkey. LOL.0 -

I get the chocolate gladiator with no fruit from Smoothie King. They add a little cocoa but still meets the induction rules.0

Here is a basic recipe that I have been loving:
half cup unsweetened almond milk
2 tbsp ground flax
1 scoop isopure protein
4 frozen strawberries
1 packet truvia
(sometimes I'll add 1tbsp cocoa powder for an extra chocolatey flavor)
I use Isopure low carb dutch chocolate. Haven't tried the vanilla yet.0 -

Im having one right now at my desk at work!
1 Scoop Designer Whey Chocolate protein powder (3g carb, .5g fiber, 18g protein)
2 C Almond Breeze
2/3 C Wymans Mixed berries (strawberry, blueberry, raspberry, blackberry)
6 ice cubes
Ill either have it as the protein shake, OR..... Ill make my own frozen treats for desserts.
The shake is treated like a meal for me at 20 net carbs and it holds me for a good 3-4 hours until the next meal0 -
This is my basic shake/smoothie. Adding frozen berries/a tablespoon of sf pudding powder/1-2 tablespoons of peanut flour are some alternatives I do too.

Here's my "Daily" morning smoothie:
3 cups spinach
1 scoop Cytosport Complete Casein protein powder Strawberrys and creme flazor
2 tbsp milled flax seed
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 cup water
1/2 avocado (The avocado makes it thick like a real shake)
A little artificial sweetener to taste
405 cals 22g carbs (14 fiber !) 24g fat 33g protein
You can reduce the cals, cards and fat quite a bit by removing the avocado.
Throw it all in a blender And have at it. Add more water to thin it out a bit.
I have been adding 1/2 cup of blueberries or strawberries this week. Most of my daily carbs come from this meal
And no, you don't taste the spinach. It's like tofu, it tastes like whatever else is in there : )0 -

If I'm looking for something just a little different but without adding extra calories or carbs to my day, I simply use a can or bottle of diet orange soda instead of water or milk with my vanilla protein shake. For a more smoothie type drink, throw in a few strawberries.0

bump to save this! I love smoothies. I usually start with a handful of cabbage leaves, cucumber, carrot, tomatoes -- whatever is in the bin -- and add a scoop of berry-flavored protein powder and maybe acai powder. Will start adding cream to up the fat, yum.0

It really is delicious! I really do not taste the spinach, but miss it when it is not in my smoothies 0

Bump. I need to jump on the smoothie bandwagon!0
