Anyone out there have any smoothie recipes that they would like to share? Looking for something low cal yet maybe filling. Maybe even some tricks as to what to add to give you more energy from it as well?

    Here's my go-to smoothie. If you want to have it as a snack and drop the calories don't add the protein powder.

    frozen mango 1/4th cup
    frozen strawberries 1/4 cup
    half banana
    1 tablespoon maca powder (or add in a tea as half your liquid = for energy)
    1 cup of orange juice or add in tea or part tea part juice
    1/4th to 1/2cup of ice depending on the consistancy you like
    1/2cup of greens of your choice, I use a super green mixture with bok choy and spinach

    Add these extras to use this as a filling meal

    protein powder, I use spirtein
    1 tablespoon of chia or ground flax seeds

    Fresh berries and milk of your choice, + yogurt (optional) great way to boost your vitamin intake. Banana + milk + yoghurt good too. Or any other combination you dare to concoct. Have fun, yum yum!

    It''s worth running a search, this comes up regularly.

    Scoop protein powder, two servings frozen mixed berries, serving frozen spinach, half an avocado, liquid and natural sweetener to taste.
