We drink a lot of smoothies in our household. I will either pull out the big Vitamix if doing smoothies for the whole family, but if doing one just for yourself, you can't beat the Magic Bullet. The added benefit is you just take your tumbler with you on the go.
Recipe:
3/4 cup of Vanilla or Plain Yogurt (I usually use Mountain High)
1/2 banana
Frozen organic berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, etc.) or fresh berries when available
Sprinkle cinnamon (I use a good sprinkle of it--- great for lowering cholesterol)0 -
Arbonne chocolate protein (2 scoops)
Arbonne fiber powder (1 scoop)
4 cups of spinach ( you do not taste it)
11/2 banana
2 tsp flax seed
strawberries
1 tsp PB2
blackberries
water or sometime flax milk
YUMMY0 -
1/2 cup yogurt (vanilla or blueberry)
1 banana
1 cup baby spinach
1 cup blueberries
1 carrot
1/2 apple
1/2 cup oatmeal
1/4 cup frozen broccoli
I know it sounds crazy, broccoli& spinach? But because of the fruit you don't taste the veggies and it is an awesome way to get a bunch of veggies! My husband and I have it for lunch. Very filling and about 400 calories. :happy:0 -
that sounds really yummy !!!
I made a spinach based smoothie for the first time on Sunday..it was SO good !!!!
1 cup frozen spinach
1/2 banana
1 medium orange
1/2 cup water
I also add 2 scoops of the powder from Body By Vi
Put all in blender and you will have a super yummy smoothie0 -
my go-to quick smoothie is a version of this:
1 cup baby spinach
3/4 cups frozen mango chunks
1 medium banana
~1 cup coconut water
add some almond milk if it is too thick
I recently tried this one -- and it was a lot more work, but VERY filling and tasty:
1 cup frozen blackberries
1 apple, cored and cut into pieces
1 banana, peeled and cut into pieces
2-3 handful spinach
fresh ginger, peeled
oats
fresh orange juice0 -
coconut water or just water, spinach and a froze banana.0

I make different ones all the time, but my most favorite is as follows:
1/2 cup Greek vanilla or plain yogurt
1 small banana
2 tbsp. creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup of milk
1/2 tbsp honey0 -
I saw a couple people with pumpkin pie smoothie ideas...
I'd think a teaspoon of pie spice would give this the depth it needs to be delicious. I saw one person mention cinnamon which is obviously a great add, but I think the allspice, ginger, and cloves would develop it nicely.
Definitely a great combination idea!0 -
I do smoothies every day for breakfast too. Right now it's:
1 frozen banana
1/2 cup low fat plain greek yogurt
1/2 cup pineapple chunks in it's own juice'
3 oz. green tea
4-5 ice cubes
1 tb ground flax seed
1/4 cup oats
2 drops coconut extract
also try:
same as above but,skip the coconut extract, and pineapple
then use whatever fruit you like- I have done frozen blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, or mango-or a combo of them!0 -
I use to drink protein powder, sometimes still do, but you get lots of protein from even 1/2c greek yogurt (12grams!) and that doesn't include any milk or soy you use!!! So I nixed the protein powder bc well, it ruins it haha
If you peel and freeze your bananas before using, they make smoothies so good! Same way with grapes!
I made one yesterday with the following:
1/2c plain nonfat greek yogurt (added a pkt of sweetener like splenda or stevia)
1 frozen banana
1 peeled naval orange
1/2c frozen strawberries
1/2c pomegranate juice
YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM!!0 -

one scoop of jay robb chocolate protein powder
4cups fresh baby spinach
milk
ice
and a straw.
or
one half frozen banana
one quarter of an avocado
several frozen strawberries
four ounces of fresh kale juice
a shot of fresh ginger juice
homemade yogurt
jay robb tropical dreamcicle protein powder, 1 scoop0 -
MMMMM - I copied & pasted lots of recipes to try! Great thread! I love smoothies!
If I have Isagenix chocolate I just use that, water & ice - tastes like a wendy's frosty YUM
or
1 scoop protein powder
1C OJ OR Naked Juice super green
1/2 banana
1C frozen fruit - I like the mango, pineapple, strawberry blend
1/2C fresh blueberries if I have them
Easy peasy & good!0 -
I made smoothies all last summer. I used all kinds of fruit; watermelon, pineapple, cherries, blueberries, honeydew melon, strawberries, raspberries, etc. My favorite had cherries and honeydew melon in them. And I'd mix them with plain greek yogurt or honey greek yogurt. They are yummy, nutritious and filling. Bonus- my kids like them too.0

I cup spinach or kale
1 cup frozen berries
small container of whatever yogurt
1 cup 1% skim milk or almond milk
1/2 scoop whey vanilla protein powder
YUM!!! I have this for lunch after a workout on the weekends.0 -
I also use whey protein in my morning smoothie. Mine resembled yours almost a tee!! I am trying now to drink the protein powder with just water. I was getting too much sugar with the fruits according to my food diary. That is depressing, but I'm not giving up! So today I had my protein powder with water and then I ate a container of yogurt! Hoping it cuts back on my sugars. Who knew eating healthy would mean giving up my fruit :-)0

my morning smoothies:
1.5 cups baby spinach
1 banana
3 strawberries
1 cup blueberries
1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
2 tablespoons non-fat greek yogurt
sometimes I substitute apples for strawberries0 -
I do 1 scoop protein powder. 1C frozen fruit 1C almond milk. Depending on protein powder and almond milk it is anywhere from 230-280 cals!
Oh, and it tastes like ice cream fills a 16oz glass, and keeps me full for hours. I eat it in replace of ice cream some nights!
Thanks for all the responses everyone. Great yummy recipes to try!!!0 -
