Whats in your smoothie?

psuhorseshoe

I just started doing smoothies for breakfast about two weeks ago, and just started MFP earlier this week (so feel free to add me as a freind!). I really like having my smoothies in the morning because I have an hour commute and its a great grab and go, and I reuse my tumbler cup to encourage me to drink more water throughout the day and on the ride home.

So far I have been making my smoothies with
1 cup light and fit strawberry greek yogurt
1 medium banana
1 cup frozen fruit (no sugar added) - peaches, strawberries or mixed berry
1 1/3 of 30 calorie almond milk.
All around 300 calories makes a huge smoothie and keeps me full from 7am to 10ish (till I have an apple or something for a snack)

Just curious if anybodt else is doing smoothies for breakfast and what they use in theirs.

Protein powder! Vanilla flavored works great with most fruit-based. Sometimes after a long, hard run, I use bananas with chocolate milk for muscle recovery.

I just tried my chocolate whey protein with almond milk, couple ice cubes, and a half of a frozen banana. Very filling!

I use 1/2 cup non fat plain greek yogurt (chobani), 1 cup 1% milk, 1/2 cup frozen blueberries, 1/2 cup frozen strawberries, and 1 banana (room temp). Mine is about 350 calories. I love it!

I too make a smoothie in my vitamix every single work day. My basic "recipe" is as follows:

1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
fresh pineapple (about 1/2 cup but I don't measure
a handfull of spinach (I would guess about a cup but again don't measure)
about a half a frozen banana
1 cup some type of frozen fruit (no sugar added)
1 scoop of protein powder

I swear you will not taste the spinach if you think that sounds "gross" The pineapple adds sweetness. I always cut up and freeze bananas to have on hand.
I like chocolate protein powder when I used blueberries. I prefer vanilla when doing the tropical flavors such as mango or pineapple, but honestly, you cannot go wrong starting your day this way for about 300 calories.

I eat a good many vegetables in my smoothies to help with my nutritional needs. Its an easy way to eat kale, every day.

so, I have raw Kale. I can add it to my protein powder in my shake and that will be ok?

Mine have been pretty simple lately. I put two scoops of Body By Vi shake mix and one 6oz container of Chobani nonfat Greek yogurt in a blender with ice and water. I drink it on my way to work (7:00am) and it satisfies me until around 10:30.

I make virtually the same smoothie every day. This serves 2.

1 tbsp White Chia Seed
1 tbsp Ground Flax Seed
1 Banana
1.5 cups Frozen Berries (blackberry, blueberry, raspberry & strawberry)
3 tbsp Plain Greek Yogurt
1 scoop Vanilla Protein Powder
Water - add until 90% of ingredients height in blender

I put the ingredients in exactly that order into the blender (I've found it blends better). Blend & then split into two 16 ounce cups.

2/3 cup plain nonfat greek yogurt, 1 banana, either a handful of kale or 3 green ice-cubes I've made from juicing greens, 2/3 c berries, enough carrot juice to blend well, and 2 tbsp of flax seed

Mine is typically:

1% milk
Slimfast high protein chocolate powder
1/2 frozen banana
or
handful of blueberries.

I need to get a chocolate fix in everyday and this is how I usually get it.

so, I have raw Kale. I can add it to my protein powder in my shake and that will be ok?

Yes, put the liquid in the blender first with the Kale. Once the Kale is ground up nicely, add the protein powder. You can add half a banana or a cup of frozen pineapple to it. The fruit will offset the the bitterness of the Kale
