This is the recipe for Alton Brown's "Buff Smoothie:"
4 ounces plain, low-fat soy milk 4 ounces acai, grape, or pomegranate juice
4 ounces frozen banana 4 ounces frozen strawberries
4 ounces frozen blueberries 4 ounces frozen peaches
I find it to be very versatile, because I change the ingredients around, just keeping the basic ratio of 1 part "milk," 1 part juice, 4 parts fruits and/or veggies (I'm a big fan of spinach in my smoothies, and kale when we have it on hand).0 -
my fave = 1c frozen banana slices
1/2c frozen blueberries
3 or 6 oz greek yogurt
1c skim milk
its the consistancy of a milkshake and so yummy!!!0 -
where can I purchase the whey powder... Or what other protein powder yall recomend
I like Any Whey protein powder by Optimum Nutrition - it is unflavored, and doesn't have any artificial sweeteners in it. (They give me migraines, so this is a huge selling point for me!) You can find it on amazon.0 -
My morning smoothie is veggies and fruit:
1 1/2 cups of chopped kale
1 small banana
small handful of blueberries (I keep a bag in my freezer)
1/2 cup of plain yogurt
1/2 cup of skim milk
1 tsp ground flax
Looks awful, smells great and is full of goodness. This amount would be enough for 2 people. I sip on it all morning long and it keeps me going til lunch.
I chop up 1/2 cup kale into my smoothies too. 1 smoothie gives you your whole day of Vit C & A0 -
I have a green monster almost every morning. super duper healthy and you really can't taste the spinach
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (I use the vanilla)
2 cups baby spinach
1 cup frozen mixed fruit
1 tbs ground flax seed
1 tbs honey
first put in the milk, then the flax, spinach, fruit then honey in the blender... otherwise the honey will sink to the bottom and the flax will float on top. blend until smooth.0 -

My everyday smoothie is: 1/2 c orange juice, fresh is best, 1/2 c plain yogurt, 1 frozen banana and 5 cups spinach, 1/2 tsp. vanilla. I also all 1 TBSP of spirulina powder. Very green, but you can increase the fruit and decrease the green if you like.
As far as juice, carrot, apple, celery juice is very good.0 -

Here's a great antioxidant rich way to start your day, 1/4 cup of each fresh or frozen strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and blackberries, 1/4 cup unsweetened pomegranate juice, a handfull of spinach and I add a scoop of soy protein powder that I get at Trader Joes, you can add a little water if it needs to be thinned out. No better way to start the day.0

We have a Ninja blender that works almost like I juicer from what I understand (but keeps the pulp of the veggies). It came with a phenomenal book with great tasting recipes. If there is a particular type of smoothie (with certain fruits or veggies, or low- carb, high protein, etc) just message me and I can share a couple of them.0

And this one was good, too:0

It is actually a really good practice to rotate your greens. A lot of people just use Spinach or Kale every day. You get different nutrients from different greens, so we will typically rotate through Spinach, Kale, Romaine, Red Leaf, Collard Greens, Chard, etc.0 -
Kale
cucumbers
romaine lettuce
green apples
pears
lemons
Green juice and so good! I make juice on Sunday and freeze a drink in mason jars to drink for breakfast during the week! Love it!0 -
SUPER JUICER
I like:
apple - one BIG
a couple of carrots
ginger- i keep in the freeze then grate in, it's easier and cheaper:)
loads of celery
You can water it down or as a tasty kick start:)
You can also subsitute for tasty beetroots in place of celery(it's sweeter than you think)
Also if you do the apple seperately you can use the veggie pulp for a good source of additional fibre in soups:)0
