Smoothie ideas?

check out foodgawker.com or pinterest for lots of yummy recipes!

I have two I like.

The first one I have been using since last summer and has actually gotten rid of my acid reflux issues completely. You crush ice in a blender, add 1/2 cup almond milk, a banana, and a handgul of fresh baby spinach. I also add a scoop of protein powder. Blend until smooth.

I recently started using another which is more "bulky" so it lasts longer and fills you up better. Again, crush ice. Add 6-8 frozen strawberries (or raspberries if you prefer), then 1/2 cup plain, non-fat yogurt, 1/2 cup regular Quaker oats, a banana, and a little honey to taste. This one is a bit more challenging to blend--I've discovered adding a little cold water helps--but it tastes great!

Hope this helps!

My favorite breakfast smoothie - about 200 calories, 22g protein, 28g carbs, 13g sugar

1/2C Plain Fat Free Greek Yogurt, 1T Chia Seeds, 1 C Spinach Raw, 1/2 C Blackberries - Frozen, 1/2 C Skim Milk, and enough water or ice to blend to desired consistency.
I sometimes sub in 1/2 banana and 1T Cocoa powder, or 1T PB2 and 1T Cocoa powder, but that increases the sugar...

If you have a nutri-bullet or something similiar you can make any kind of healthy smoothie you like with fresh or frozen fruit and/or vegetables and water. For breakfast I usually have 1/2 a frozen banana, 1/2 apple, 1/8 cup craisins (as a sweetener), 1 cup raw spinach (just a handful from the bag), and then 2 other fruits usually just 1/2 a cup of each (frozen cherries, blueberries, peaches, mango, I don't like the raspberries or blackberries they're too seedy for me) then I add 1 tbsp Chia seeds and 1 tbsp Flax seed or meal. It turns out delicious and keeps you full until lunch and is packed with a lot of great nutrients. I find that I have far fewer cravings when my body is getting the vitamins and minerals it needs. And this type of smoothie is a great start to the day. If your smoothie is too thick just add more water (calorie free). I like the spinach best out of the greens because it has a very mello flavor compared to the others. In fact, I don't usually taste it with all the fruit but you will notice the green color especially if you use light colored fruits like pineapple, mango etc. And sometimes for an evening snack I'll use 1 tbsp cocoa powder and 1 tbsp peanut butter with a banana and skim milk or water. There's so many different flavors you can create:)
