Thanks for the posts. I will have to try some of these out. So far, my smoothies have not turned out so well.0

I go to work at 3 am so its quick is the name of the game Every morning, I make my smoothie with half a large cucumber, 1 medium apple, hemp protein powder, the zest and juice of one lemon, a bit of raw honey and coconut water. Blast in my Nutri Bullet until smooth and enjoy Its light yet holds me over until my "lunch" break at 730 or 8 am. My friend says its good, too, with 1/2 banana, but I'm allergic and am unable to try it so I can't vouch for that0

Mine is pretty boring. 1 mango, 4oz cup of fat free greek yogurt, 4oz of 2% milk, a handful of ice.0

I just started breakfast smoothies, too, and am having the same exact drink... loving it.0

Made this one this morning....it was enormous & delicious. Drank it at 7am and wasn't hungry till about 2pm when I had lunch.
1/2 large banana
1/4 cup steel cut oats
1.5 tbsp smooth peanut butter
1 tbsp splenda ( guess you could substitute honey/ molasses instead)
1/2 cup almond milk
1/2 cup water
6 ice cubes
Do you cook your steel cut oats before blending it? Because I sometimes put in some regular oatmeal, but I cook it first.
I don't use whey powders in my smoothies, I either use silk tofu OR pasteurized egg whites (from a carton).
Yes I cook the oats before blending, more creamier that way0 -
Savory Smoothie
diced tomatoes, Italian style canned
diced onion
zucchini
chick peas, canned
chicken stock0 -
Mine are similar to the others posted, except I don't use any powders and do include tofu. The soft tofu I use gives the smoothie a really creamy texture and adds 20cal and 3g protein per ounce (I use perhaps 4 oz in a large smoothie). Add banana, pineapple, berries, Greek yoghurt, and ice to fill.
I like the tofu idea. I had just found a smoothie recipe with tofu. Sounds so good.
Serves 2
Ingredients
1cup vanilla soymilk
1 cup firm light tofu (about 6 oz)
3/4 cup fresh blueberries (or 1/2 cup frozen, unsweetened)
2 scoops soy-protein powder (1 scoop is about 3 tbsp)
1teaspoonalmond extract

My favourite so far is almond milk, 1 mini cucumber, 1/2 cup kale/spinach, 1 packet stevia, ginger to taste, apple/mango/peach/carrot if I have them. Delish. The kale/spinach is a must. Blend until frothy. Kale should be liquified. Great substitute for my usual a.m. caffeine kick.0 -

this morning:
1 1/2 C spinach
1 Kiwi (peeled)
1 orange
1/2 mango
1/2 C fresh pineapple
2 Tbls flax seed oil
10 almonds
5 drops vitamin D
1/2 C water0 -
1 cup milk of choice
1 cup frozen unsweetened cherries
1-2 Tbsp. cocoa powder
1 packet of stevia
It's like a chocolate covered cherry in liquidy form.0 -
I see a lot of kale and spinach in these smoothies and now I really want to try this. So to offset the taste of the greens, I just need a sweet fruit (like pineapple) or flavored protein powder, I guess?
The banana is what does it for me. The berries help but if my banana isnt ripe enough I can definitely tell the difference and can taste the "green" more0 -
Bump.
Thanks everyone for your suggestions.0 -
my experimental pumpkin smoothie was a let down today...spent all night thinking about what i was going to put in it and couldnt wait to finish my night shift and get to work making it!
tinned pumpkin, greek fat free coconut/vanilla yoghurt, pb2 powder, some oats,cinnamon, maple syrup, pecan nuts, ice and splash of coconut milk.....it wasnt horrible... but lacking sweetness i think.....am allergic to bananas otherwise i would have added that to it...bit of tweaking i think (since i have 8 tins of pumpkin puree in the cupboard lol!)...maybe i just added too much pumpkin to it (half small tin!)0 -
1 tbsp. flax seed meal
1 c. baby spinach
1/2 a banana
3 strawberries
1/4 c. pineapple
1/2 c. blueberries
1/2 c. pure carrot juice
1/4 c. acai juice
1/2 c. skim milk
1/4 c. fat free greek yogurt
I love this recipe. It has tons of vitamins, fiber, calcium, protein and it tastes great.0 -
