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?

    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)
