Smoothie Ideas to share...

Ladies, I have been having a smoothie almost every morning and I'm ready for some variety. Care to share any good ones you have made. Here is what I have been making every day. It's packed with lots of nutrients for baby!
1 C. Pineapple Juice
4-5 frozen strawberries
1 banana
small handful of frozen mixed berries (raspberry, blueberry,blackberry frozen bag)
1/4 C. almonds
2 Tbsp. Greek Yogurt
8-10 spinach leaves - you won't even taste them I promise!
Add a few pieces of ice - more if you don't use frozen fruit. You don't need much since most of the fruit is already frozen.
I discovered that the spinach takes the tartness away from the mixed berries, which I normally don't care for mixed berries. I make this before work and I am still sipping on it until 10:30 - ha! It will fill my 24 oz. Tervis cup.
So please share your recipies and try mine too!

My go-to smoothie is:
1 c raw spinach
1 c frozen strawberries
1 c frozen blue berries
1 banana
1 c nonfat Greek yogurt, plain
8 oz oj (my SIL prefers diet v8 splash for fewer calories)
This serves 3-4. I neve really measure the fruit, just eyeball it.0 -
1 sliced, frozen banana
1 T peanut butter
1/2-1 C plain greek yogurt
1 C milk
As much spinach as you want (I usually do 2 cups)
The peanut butter makes it taste almost like a milkshake. It's a little high in calories (350) but keeps me satisfied for hours. I love it!0 -
I do smoothies every morning before my workout. These is my favorite this week since the peach tree is loaded:
1 c peaches
.5 banana
2 c spinach and/ or swiss chard
.5 c FF greek yogurt
1T Chia seeds
.5 c unsweetend almond milk
1 tsp almond extract
sometimes 1T of almond butter
Another favorite for a days before a heavy cardio workout (this one is high is sugar):
1c frozen cherries
2 c spinach or Swiss chard
2 Dates
.5 tsp ginger powder (or fresh)
.5 c almond milk
.5 c greek yogurt
1 T almond butter0 -

This one sounds similar to mine. I will try switching my pineapple juice to your OJ or v8 splash - both good ideas! Thanks!0 -

This one sounds like it's worth trying! Much different than what I'm used to!0 -
OK, this is going to sound gross... But I read a recipe recently that used avocado in the smoothie as the creamy ingredient instead of bananas. I gave it a shot (skeptically) and it was really good! You can't really taste it, but it adds a richness. I did
1 c Greek yogurt
1 c blueberries
~1 cup almond milk
1/2 avocado
Soooo yummy0 -

That doesn't sound gross at all! I love to use avocado in sweet things! Try it in a cookie recipe in place of 1/2 of the butter. So good.OK, this is going to sound gross...
