So a few weeks a go my wonderful husband bought me a Blendtec (super blender) and I love it. The idea that I can just push a button and it blends it all is amazing to me! That thing blends everything. My favorite smoothie by far is banana, blueberry and spinach. YUM!!!
Other then that though, I have no ideas for Green smoothies, or other smoothies for that matter.
If you have some great smoothie recipes please let me know. I love the idea of the green ones because they are so healthy, not to mention, they curve my huge sweet tooth :0).

I use....
2 banana's
2 Kiwi's
2 pears
1 cup blueberries
1 Tablespoon honey
15ml aloe vera juice ( optional, changes the flavour instantly so upto you if you can't handle it )
1 - 2 cups spinach
pinch of cinnamon
1-2 cups ICE
1-2 cups cold water
Lasts me 2 days, really refreshing and great for detoxifying your body & muscle recovery.
To be honest, just try different things add a mango inside instead of kiwi's etc.0 -
my favorite is spinach bluberries bananna and pinapple. I have that one 3 or 4 days a week and then mix it up the other days. I buy fresh fruit once a month and then frezze it all. Using the frozen fruit makes it icey cold and gives it the smoothie consistency I love.0

I use
2-3 handfuls of spinach
half an apple
1 scoop of protein powder (I use strawberry or vanillia)
Pumpkin seeds
water/ ice
(sometimes I add greek yoghurt)0 -
130g spinach
85g broccoli
2 scoops of protein
2 tbsp ground flax seeds
1 cup (8oz) unsweetened almond milk
2 cups water
140g frozen blueberries
Makes a really really really big breakfast. No, I cant taste the broccoli (that's why I put it in there, I hate broccoli).
I tried eating half one day and half the next, but the spinach (and maybe the broccoli?) starts smelling and tasting weird after 1 day in the fridge0 -
I did tart freezing some of my fruit and my spinach. I had no clue you could freeze spinach before this.0

I've been making kale smoothies..
1 cup chopped kale
1 tbsp peanut butter (or .5 cup frozen berries)
.5 cup greek yogurt
.5 banana
water/ice as needed0 -
I change my smoothies every day depending on what's in my fridge! But, generally I'll use:
1 banana
1/4 -1/2 avocado (depending on size)
1/4 mango
Handful of kale or spinach or any salad leaves I have
2 tablespoons natural plain yoghurt
Enough water to make your desired consistency
I sometimes add berries, kiwi, melon and/or pineapple if I have any. I've even tried cucumber with great results! I'm going to try grated carrot next...
I find that adding the avocado prevents that mid-morning snack craving, so I can hold out until lunch better.0 -

Usually I do the fruity thing but my favorite is:

1 large banana

Kale/Mango/Water
Kale/Berries/Water
Swiss Chard, Dandelion Greens, Parsley, Cabbage, bok choy, beet greens/Berries, Banana, Mango, Pear, Peaches, nectarines/water, coconut water
Mix n Match! Green smoothies are delicious. Any green mixed with banana for the most part will taste like a banana.0 -
i'm in the kale camp too.
100g or more of raw kale, stem and all.
1 tbsp cocoa powder
1 scoop protein - optional
1/2 to 1 cup milk of your choice (i use almond)
1 frozen banana
a handful of berries of your choice
3-4 ice cubes and maybe 1/2 cup water if it's too thick

Raw kale is very nutritious but a tad bitter so you have to pick your fruits well to balance it.0

This...trying to figure out how to eat more veggies....0 -
1/2 cup frozen strawberries
1/2 frozen spinach
water 1 1/2 cups
1 scoop Kaizen Chocolate Whey protein powder (made in Canada, all protein sourced from Canada, US, Australia and New Zealand)
Shot of Cinnamon : )
I love my Blendtech
You should look for the "Will It Blend?" videos on Youtube - they're hilarious.0 -
Not to sound stupid but can you use a regular blender and get good results or must you use a smoothie mixer?0
-
With a regular blender, you just need to watch your frozen to liquid proportions. For instance, with my recipe, in a regular blender just use fresh strawberries and spinach and really cold water. Should still work fine.0
