Smoothie Recipes ? :)

Here are some that I like:

Blend the following before adding the ingredients at the end:

3 frozen strawberries
1/4 frozen mango
3 raspberries
1/4 cup of orange juice
Blend

Or

4-5 frozen strawberries
1/4 low fat milk
Blend

Or

1/2 or small frozen banana
1/2 frozen mango
1/4 cup apple juice
Blend

Then to one of the above add 1/4 non fat high protein plain greek yogurt and a tad of honey. Blend again. We use frozen fruit so that the smoothie comes out cold from the start.

I have a dairy allergy, so I have to think outside the box a bit more for smoothie recipes, but I drink a smoothie for breakfast every day. Since it is an entire meal, I aim for it to have about 300-400 calories, but you could take that down with a few adjustments.

My breakfast smoothie is made with one container of soy-based non-dairy yogurt (140 calories per pack, so you could lose about 50 calories by switching to a dairy-based low-cal yogurt, like Light n Fit), one fresh banana, one cup of frozen no-sugar-added fruit (I like a blackberry, blueberry, strawberry, raspberry blend), and one cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk (45 calories per serving). The end result is about 10g fat and 360 calories. Depending on the yogurt and milk you use, this smoothie could have a ton of sugar or not too much, so choose carefully

BUMP :-)

I love smoothies but always need good recipes!

I love frozen sliced banana, a little greek yogurt, some cocoa powder, and your sweetner of choice. You can also add protein powder if you want. This tastes like a chocolate banana milkshake to me!

This morning I had 1/2 cup sliced frozen banana, 3 oz greek yogurt, 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder, and 2 tbsps PB2 (powdered peanut butter) - then I added two big handfulls of spinach. Looks weird, tastes like a peanut butter cookie and made a huge smoothie. The protein powder made it a little sweet for my taste, but it was very good and filling.

My daughter's favorite is frozen banana, frozen blueberries, milk, and greek yogurt.

You can also add a little bit of egg whites to any smoothie, just for some extra protein! Also makes it nice and 'fluffy', lol.

I have a Vitamix and it will blend frozen fruit so if you don't have a machine that can handle it you may have to adjust...
2 cups frozen mango chunks, 2 cups frozen peaches, 1 1/2 frozen bananas, 3 cups skim milk... 3 smoothies 240 calories each...
3 cups frozen strawberries, 1 cup frozen pineapple, 1 1/2 frozen bananas, 3 cups skim milk... 3 smoothies 240 calories each...
These are huge smoothies!

My go to smoothie every morning for the past couple of months is:

1 cup of spinach
1 cup of kale
1/2 cup of frozen raspberries
1/2 cup of frozen blueberries
1 scoop of banana flavored whey protein powder
1 tbsp of chia or whole flax seeds
15 ml of coconut oil (if I need to uptick my good fats)
Water to fill line

After workout smoothie usually is:

1 cup of frozen strawberries
1 scoop of banana or vanilla bean whey protein powder
8 oz of low fat Greek yogurt (plain)
Almond milk or water to fill line

I have one of those Nutribullet machines and it has been great. Possibilities are almost endless.

I have been on a green smoothie kick for about a week now. Some that I have tried are:

1/2 frozen cut up banana
2 c spinach
1/2 greek plain no fat yogurt
1 c almond milk unsweetened
1 Tbsp Peanut butter

also:

1/2 frozen banana
1c sliced strawberries
1/2c greek yogurt
1c almond milk unsweetened
2c spinach

both extremely good
