Hello everyone!! Happy Memorial day!
I wanted to start adding smoothies into my diet... healthy and easy, and tasty!
What do you usually throw in your blender?
Thanks for your input!

I have one for breakfast almost every workday. I work really early and it helps me have something I can eat when I get a moment. I put it in a small thermos and it stays frozen almost all day.
1 banana
almond milk *unsweetened
frozen blueberries
that's the base. Depending on what else I have, I have been known to add carrots, spinach, strawberries, or kale. <--- just don't go overboard with the greens or it won't be pleasurable to drink.0 -
I posted something like this yesterday:

Enjoy!0 -
My go-to shake:
75 - 100 g frozen fruit
60 ml orange juice
30 ml Kefir cultured milk (same flavor as fruit)
1 chobani yogurt (same flavor as fruit)
20 g protein powder
Roughly:
303 cals
44 carbs
1 g fat
34 g protein
7 g fiber0 -
Rum. Lots of it. Oh.....and maybe a few berries from the yard.0

Fruit, whey, milk. Sometimes yogurt and spinach too.0

I've had a smoothie every morning since 1998 and I always make exactly the same one ;
0% fat free yoghurt (vanilla)
4 strawberries
12 raspberries
20 blueberries
half a pink grapefruit
50g oats
glug of cranberry juice
They keep you going for around 3 hours before you need a snack.0 -
Just had Dr. Oz's Breakfast Smoothie (3 day detox) 1 cup water
1 cup raspberries
1 banana
1/4 cup spinach
1 tbsp almond butter
2 tsp lemon juice
It's about 300 cal....but very filling (I didn't have the almond butter so i used almond milk (1/2 cup) and cut back the water to 1/2 cup).0 -
Just got a Nutribullet this past week, so I've been experimenting with the following:
Kale
Pineapple
Apple slices
Raspberries
Watermelon
The resulting drink is actually quite filling. I can't wait to try more fruits and veggies and some different combinations. I use coconut water or unsweetened almond milk.
I also like to blend half a packet of Carnation Instant Breakfast with various things, like the strawberry flavor with fruit or chocolate with a banana or some peanut butter. Nice, quick breakfast or snack. I always use unsweetened almond milk, but I'm going to give coconut milk a try.0 -
Normally my after work out breakfast smoothie is 1 scoop of chocolate protein powder, 2 tbs of peanut butter, 1 banana and 1.5 cups of almond milk.....sometimes i had 1/2 cup of oatmeal as well.0

My favourite is very simple- I usually use it for my 'second breakfast' after a hard run- 1/2 banana, 1/2 cup blueberries, 1/2 cup raspberries, and 1 cup of almond milk. Sometimes I'll divide it all in half to get enough for a small snack instead.0
-
I do many variations, but Banana and Avocado is my absolute FAVE!!!! YUM!0
