    I love making smoothies but I usually make a green one every morning. I use 1 cup of (any green, kale, spinach, collards etc..), 1 cup of any frozen fruit, 1/2 raw orange juice, 1/2 banana and either one of the following; almonds, chia seeds, flax seeds or hemp seeds. I blend in the nutribullet.

    This is what I have been making lately
    1/4 cup strawberries
    1/4 cup blueberries
    1/4 cup pineapple
    1/2 cup greek yogurt
    1/2 cup soy milk
    3 cubes ice

    It comes out creamy and good. Sometimes I add half banana if I have them.

    How about an AMAZING and TOTALLY YUMMY green smoothie?

    10 oz. water
    1/2 c. frozen pineapple
    1/2 frozen banana
    1/2 fresh orange
    1 1/2 handfuls fresh spinach
    1/4-1/2 c. parsley (stems removed)
    2-3 fresh basil leaves
    160 calories

    You can add protein to this, if you'd like. I usually add 1 raw (yes, raw) egg and 1/2 scoop Sun Warrior Warrior Blend (plain) protein powder.

    I got a smoothie recipe on Pinterest and tweaked it a little...I make one for either bfast or lunch 2 or 3 times per week and it keeps me full until the next meal. Not the lowest calorie smoothie but packed w/ essentials! :)

    1 small banana
    3 frozen strawberries
    1/2 cup light & fit vanilla yogurt
    1 TBSP all natural peanut butter
    1/3 Cup oatmeal (quick oats, dry)
    1/4 Cup skim milk.
    4 ice cubes.

    1 banana
    1 cup frozen blueberries
    1/2-1 cup coconut milk (depends on the thickness you like) or you could use skim milk
    1 cup fresh spinach
    1 tb flaxseed (don't need it but I like it)
    1 avacado (if you have the calories for it, it makes it nice and thick and smooth)
    (things to add to mix it up, orange juice, apple, strawberries, or any kind of fruit you like but this is the one I make the most)

    When I first started I'd add sugar to it b/c it seemed so bland for about 2 months and now I can't stand sugar in it so if you are just starting out and it doesn't taste very good try adding some sugar.
