2-3 cups spinach, 1/2 of a frozen banana, 1/2 to 1 cup homemade milk kefir, and 1/2 cup frozen berries or other fruit (like mango). Give it a whirl in my blender.0

Anyone have any ideas on other vegetables that taste alright in smoothies... I'm thinking I need to up my veggies in my smoothie!!0

I've been adding a cucumber and three stalks of celery to mine (3-4 cups of water, protein powder, flax seed, various fruit). The fruit covers the taste of the vegetables, but gets me to add more vegetables to my diet.0

I add water as my additive and I like it just fine, plus it cuts back on the unnecessary calories. My usual is:
Handful of spinach
1 Banana
flax seed
1 cup of berries
1 scoop of protein powder
1 cup of water (I add more for consistency if needed)0 -
These all sound really delicious! I'm going to try these.0

I usually do a pretty simple one, that fills you up, and is super yummy and healthy, with vanilla froyo(can be substituted with frozen bananas,) carrots, pineapple juice, and oj, it's very citrusy and yummy!0

Changed up my whole shake recipe as of this week. Now I'm doing -
Vega One Nutritional Protein Powder - dairy/soy free
Unsweetened Chocolate Almond Milk
2 oz Organic Aloe Vera Juice
1 tbs Organic Chia Seeds
1 tbs Raw Organic Almond Butter
1/3 Fresh Banana
Then to that I either add Raw Greens Powder or a handful of kale or spinach.
Super super yummy.0 -

Water, tofu, coconut oil, chia seeds, spinach, collard greens, parsley. It's high is fiber, healthy fats, protein, and minerals. It doesn't taste like a milkshake, but it won't make you puke either.0

We call them Green Monsters because the kids thought they sounded cool and weren`t put off by the color of the smoothie. If you use chocolate protein powder, it becomes a ``purple people eater``.
1 cup strawberry or raspberry flavored Kefir
1 cup mixed frozen fruit (defrosted)
3 tbsp vanilla or chocolate protein powder
1 tbsp ground flax seed
3 big handfuls spinach
Frozen banana
Put everything into a blender in this order: Flax, spinach, fruit, kefir, protein powder. Blend well. This way the spinach and flax is weighed down and purees really well. If it`s too thick, I`ll add more kefir until I get the consistency I want.
I usually double the recipe. That way we all get to have one.0
