Smoothies

Ahmee2034

Hey y'all. I just bought 100% Soy Protein Booster powder today and some fresh fruit. I need a good recipe to make a healthy smoothy. I start work again on Monday and would like to be able to fix smoothies for my morning meal when I'm short on time. If you can share some and have the numbers, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks!

Blend a scoop with 1/2 cup of fruit, 1/2 cup milk and 1/2 cup water. I think it's too heavy with just milk. You might need ice because you're using fresh fruit instead of frozen if you want more of a smoothie texture.

Sometimes I'll add peanut butter if I need extra calories (great with blueberries, banana, or peaches).

A splash of apple cider (about 1/4 cup) is awesome if you can fit it into your carb/sugar allowance.

Banana Yogurt Shake

This is so delicious but it is showing it for 4 servings. You will have to break it down. The flavors are so great together. I got it from the Jillian Michaels diet. I used skimplus milk instead.

I don't use protein powder in my smooties, but you could.

I do 1/2 cup frozen fruit (I like blueberries) If you have fresh berries you can easily freeze them. Or, if you want to use them fresh, just add some ice like the poster above me suggested.
100g vanilla yogurt (or any flavour you like)
and 1/2 cup juice (I like orange)

everyone says my blueberry vanilla smoothie is the best they've ever had... but it'd only 3 ingredients :laugh: :flowerforyou:

I'm going to try this today. It makes 4 servings...how do you store the rest of the servings? Do you wait to add the ice until just before you're ready to drink it? Do I put the rest in the fridge and then put it back into the blender when I'm ready for another treat?
