Need a super smoothie!

AndiK0504

Help? I'm looking for a great smoothie combo of fruits & veggies, or more! Lunch is always the meal I have the hardest time with. My son had just learned to crawl and does NOT want to be hindered in any way from this activity. Its hard to make a proper meal (and eat it) while chasing the little guy around the house. I'm thinking if I get enough veggies (or other foods?) I might be able to make a decent "lunch smoothie". Anyone have any recipies they are willing to share with me?

SToast

Silk fruit and protein 1/2 c
yoplait greek yogurt 100 cal any flavor (frozen)
1/2 banana
5 frozen strawberries or 1/4 frozen pineapple chunks
1 c baby spinach

I never use ice in smoothies. You get some protein from the silk and the yogurt. You can also throw any supplements you are taking into the mix. A friend of mine adds broccoli but it makes me cringe. She says you can't taste it though... Anyway, this is what I have for breakfast about every other day.

Thanks! I never thought of freezing the yogurt. *face palm* lol I was using ice and I HATE the texture it gives. I'll have to try this tomorrow morning.

I use unsweetened almond milk, a scoop of protein powder, yogurt (I freeze it when its nearing the expiry date), any fruit, frozen Oj or other frozen juice. I havent used veggies in a smoothie, but I just whip something up with what i have

This morning I had
- two servings of mostly black mixed berries
- one serving frozen spinach
- half an avocado
- scoop of protein powder
- water to thin slightly
- tiny bit of natural sweetener.

If it's for lunch why not a hearty vegetable and lentil soup? I like block creamed coconut for richness.

My fav is
1 Banana
2 cups spinach
2 Tablespoons peanut butter
1 Cup Dark CHocolate almond milk
1 Cup another fruit (depending on what I have on hand. I like to use something that isnt strong flavor so it blends with the peanut butter/chocolate better. I usually use Pear, Apple, Mango or peaches)
