Green smoothies

I try to do a green smoothie every day. I travel for a living and even travel with a blender. I use a small amount of fruit juice (1 cup), most often it is Goodbelly so that I also get the probiotics. I also add 2 drops of iodine (for thyroid support) and when I am home, 2 TBSP of liquid vitamins. When I am on the road, I use Goodbelly plus for the vitamins and fruit juice. I like to use spinach because all I taste is the fruit. I have tried using kale, but it has a strong flavor. Some of my favorite combinations:

1 whole mango
1 whole organic peach (or 1/2 cup fresh pineapple)
1 cup mango Goodbelly (or fruit juice)
1/2 of a 5 oz bag of organic spinach
enough water for consistency (about 1 cup)

In the winter, apples are easiest to find (I buy organic)

2 apples
dash of cinnamon
1 cup blueberry Goodbelly (or fruit juice)
1/2 of a 5 oz bag of organic spinach
(I do not usually have to add water to this one)

1 cup romaine lettuce
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 cup greek yogurt
1 cup milk
1 cup frozen fruit
6 macadamia nuts
dash of cinnamon

1-2 cups kale
1/2 apple
.5 cup shredded carrots
1/2 lemon (juice)
2 tbs raw ginger
a few pieces of frozen fruit ( mango chunks or mixed berries)
a little water

1 cup Kale
1 cup Spinach
1 banana
1 tsp peanut butter
ice and water

3 cups baby spinach
1 cup pineapple chunks (frozen, no sugar added)
1 cup mango chunks (frozen, no sugar added)
5 frozen strawberries
2 tbs ground flax meal
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
(other frozen fruit, as I have laying around. peaches work well, as do raspberries/blueberries).

YUM.

1 Cup Green Tea
1 Cup fresh baby spinach
1/2 Cup "Matchstick" carrots
1/2 Cup Cherry Tomato
1/4 Cup Apple Juice

Put it in a blender until smooth.

For a twist I've put in a 1/2 avacado....makes it a little thicker

1 cup almond milk
2 cups spinach
1 frozen banana
1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
1 tablespoon peanut butter

Or, sometimes.. the Greenberry Shakeology...

both are very yummy...

Mine is ordinary. Superfood powder and hemp seeds with yogurt, banana, juice/milk and whatever cut up fruit I have lying around.

Nice recipe, I use yoghurt too but the calories is my problem. I se a 33cl cup and it's not really much, I don't want to reduce it either. How many calories are in a 33cl bottle of plain yoghurt, do u know?

This is what I have every morning. It makes enough that I drink half at 6am and then the other half at 9:30-10:00 am.

Kirkland - Costco - Three Berry Mix, 1 cup
Dmg's Fresh Cut Fruit, Homemade - - Fresh Cut Pineapple, 1 cup
Driscoll - Fresh Strawberries - 4 Whole Lg, Strawberries,
Baby Spinach Leaves - Raw, 2 cups
Broccoli - Flower clusters, raw, 1 cup flowerets
Generic - Chia Seeds 1tbsp, 1 Tbsp
Homemade - Watermelon Juice, 1 cup
Foods Alive - Organic Raw Goji Berries, 0.5 oz
Organic Lemon Water, 1 serving(s)
Ginger Root (about a half inch piece)

I switch out the following

Cup of three berry mix for a cup of blueberries
Cup of pineapple for a small apple or half a pear
2 cups of spinach for Kale
Cup of Broccoli for Cucumber

Couple handfuls of spinach or kale (I alternate these weekly)
1/2 orange peeled but keep the white membrane - very healthy
1/2 banana
1/2 kiwi - I do not peel the skin off - vitamix will pulverize
1/2 cup of green grapes
1/4 to 1/2 a pear
3/4 cup of ice
1/2 cup of water

Tastes like a fruit drink. Use it for a mid afternoon snack or sometimes a dinner meal.

My new fave is:

2 handfuls spinach

1 scoop chocolate peanut butter protein powder

1 frozen banana

1 cup almond milk

a couple of ice cubes
