I am totally addicted to breakfast smoothies. I used to do bacon, eggs and pancakes almost everyday but have since changed my game and love this recipe I kind of made up along the way. It is kind of high in sugars (sometimes I skip one of the fruits and add Kale). I am very new to this and have only been at it for 2 months but this meal in my day helps a lot.
Spinach - Raw, 0.5 cup
1 banana
Almond Milk (Vanilla)
Blueberries .25 cup
Strawberries - Raw, 0.5 cup,
Avacado - Fresh -1/2
Honey - Med, 2 Tsp
Plain Ff Greek Yogurt, 1/2 cup
3 ice cubes
Kale , 1/2 cup (optional I freeze it first)0 -
The Apple Pie Smoothie
1 red apple (I used an organic gala apple)
1 small banana (from my freezer instead of ice)
5 raw almonds
3/4 cup nonfat plain greek yogurt
1/2 cup skim milk
1/4 tsp cinnamon
WOW is this good!! I have had one every morning this week. Very filling. I use a Nutri-bullet and blend for 30 seconds.
It will contain very small pieces of skin and almond but I like it this way. I just finished a 5 day/3 smoothies and 2 snacks per day program and find that I stay satisfied all day. I now move on to 2 smoothies 1 meal 2 snacks for the next 5 days. I am following the Body Reset program with great success for far!0 -
My absolutely fave is:
2 cups spinach
2 cups water
1 cup frozen mango
1 cup frozen pineapple
1 banana

These are all awesome! Here is my anti-parasite, digestive system smoothie that is just yummy besides.
1 cup fresh, ripe papaya
1 cup fresh pineapple
1 cup plain (or vanilla) yogurt with active cultures
2 tablespoons papaya seed or 1 tablespoon papain powder.
I usually add a cup of ice too before I blend. This stuff ROCKS! I could live on it!0 -
Adding a tablespoon of organic, unsweetened, coconut to a smoothie gives it an AMAZING flavor!0

My latest favorite smoothie. I usually have it as a snack. I do tweak the recipe slightly. I add a handful of spinach. 1/4 tsp of cinnamon and I use 1 tsp of local honey instead of the agave nectar. Everything else is right on. I love bosc pears. I also don't like spicy things as they can be too hot for me. This has just enough zing to tasty.
Spiced Green Tea Smoothie
3/4 cup strong green tea, chilled
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Juice of 1 lemon (2-3 TBSP)
2 teaspoons agave nectar
1 small pear, skin on, cut into pieces
2 tablespoons fat-free plain yogurt
6-8 ice cubes
Preparation
Put all ingredients in blender. Blend until smooth. Drink cold.0 -
Trying using a frozen banana in your smoothies to make them extra creamy. I made one with chocolate protein powder , PB2, frozen banana and some 2% milk. It tasted like a milkshake!
I love my Ninja blender and use it every day. It blends whole fruit/veg into juice. I'm not a sales rep, I just really love this blender!
I also do the following combination, usually as a snack, but it could be part of breakfast -
Spinach juice 1/2 cup (every few days, I blend an entire bag of spinach and keep the resulting juice in the fridge)
Unsweetened cranberry juice 1/4 cup (you could use any kind of juice)
Greek Yogurt 1/4 cup (I use Cabot full fat greek - it's amazing)
Frozen Fruit 1/2 cup ( I use a mixed fruit from walmart - strawberries, peaches, mango and pineapple - all frozen and sliced - love no prep work)
It's cold and creamy and the unsweetened juice makes it a little tart. I try to change up the juice, subbed the yogurt for almond milk, added blueberries, but I still go back to this combination. And it's about 150 calories.0 -
This morning's smoothie I wanted to use a pink grapefruit. I'm really into them lately. I hate the pith, but it's supposed to have as much vitamins in as the fruit. So when I peeled it today I left as much of the pith on the grapefruit as possible.
1 peeled pink grapefruit
1 cup spinach
1/2 banana
2 T greek yogurt
2 T whey protein powder
1 tsp chia seeds
1 tsp Barlean's fresh fish oil
ice
Whirl in blender. It was very tasty. Not as strong of a grapefruit flavor as I thought, but it was still very good.0 -

Latest favorite smoothie. I needed more protein in my day and this made a great snack.

2 Tbsp PB2
1 scoop Whey protein powder (optional)
1 cup fresh spinach
1 cup fresh kale

Love all the recipes. Here is my favorite:
Green Tea Fruit Protein Smoothie
Brewed Green Tea (Chilled)
1 Cup of Frozen Fruit (Mixed Berries, Pineapple/Raspberry, Pineapple/Cherry, or Pineapple/Blueberry)
1 Cup Baby Spinach (Optional)
1 T Ground Flax Seed
1 T Wheat Germ
1T Chia Seeds
1-2 Scoops Vanilla Protein Powder
2 Ice Cubes
I add the Green Tea last and just kind of eyeball it. I don't measure it. I also make a pitcher when doing food prep and keep it in the refrigerator so it is ready to go for the week. You can add oats or apple cider vinegar if you want the health benefits of those but don't care for the taste. 0 -
My latest smoothie. I was uninspired this morning, but needed breakfast before I got to the gym. Saw an overripe banana that needed to be used so jumped off from there. It turned out so delicious I kept thinking it couldn't be healthy.
1 banana
1 handful of baby kale
3/4 cup almond milk
2 T Valrhona Cocoa powder
2 T PB2
2 T whey protein powder
1/2 tsp bee pollen
1 tsp Barlean's orange fish oil
Whirl and enjoy.
I thought I might have to sweeten it, but the over ripe banana and whey powder and Barlean's fish oil must have been sweet enough.0 -
Great recipes! Looking forward to trying some of these.
My standard is:
1 handful baby spinach or kale (spinach doesn't add flavor, but kale does -- I like it, but my kids don't)
1/2 large or 1 small banana
handful of blueberries (approx 1/2 c)
handful of frozen strawberries (approx 5-7 berries)
1 tbl chia seeds
1 tbl flax seeds
a bit of water to taste - prob 1 cup. Any juice or milk of your choice would also be good.
If I want more protein, I'll add a heaping tablespoon or two of greek yogurt or a tbl of peanut butter.0 -
I use a nutria-bullet but any blender/juicer would work.
-2 cups spinach
-1 apple
-1 banana
-1 cup berries (any variety in season)
-8 oz mango (or any flavor) Good Belly probiotic juice
-8 oz water
can add ice
YUMMMM!!!0 -

I do green, with very little fruit, usually.
Power add ins:
1 TBL Chia seeds
1 TBL Flax seeds
2 TBL powdered egg white (MUCH cheaper than the athlete protein mixes, and NO add ins)
My favorite "dessert type" smoothie:
1/2 cup of canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
1 cup of almond milk (if I am really under on calories for the day I will use full fat coconut milk)
1/2 t cinnamon
1/2 t pumpkin pie spice ( I like more)
1 serving of stevia (I use it straight, it is an 1/8th tsp)
1/2 c ice
Blend well0 -
You almost can't go wrong - Helps to have good equipment - I use the Nutri Bullet and love it - easy and powerful..
Today I had spinach strawberries and banana *they say 40% green *in this case, spinach and 60% fruit ... I used 2/3 cup almond milk - Yummy -
I use kale or spinach as a base in most of my smoothies - I use fruit and then a liquid like almond milk, coconunt milk or water or plain greek yogurt - Experiment!0 -
frozen banana and a peach blended together - I'm in heaven.
Just be sure to peel the banana before you freeze it.
(I personally like to blend the fruit together and then freeze it and it comes out like sherbet or sorbet)0 -
All these recipes look so good I was unable to prevent myself from whipping one up right now!
Frozen strawberries
Pineapple Chobani
Apple juice
chia seeds
yum!!0
