Smoothies/Juices

I actually used to manage a smoothie place, so I'll tell you my top 5 favorite combinations that aren't full of things like orange sherbert (yea, we had orange sherbert...).

1. Strawberries + Banana + Orange Juice + "spritz" (we used a spray bottle, but you can use a dropper) of vanilla extract.
2. Blueberries + Raspberries + Strawberries
3. Banana + milk or milk alternative + Chocolate or vanilla protein powder + 1 Tbsp peanut butter
4. Peaches + Orange juice (I use fresh juice), strawberries + banana <

5. Strawberries + grape juice + peaches +banana

Other things I like to add into some of my smoothies:
* Flax oil (a good quality one like Barleans)
* Fresh spinach or a scoop of Barleans Greens (they are expensive but well worth it, I have their regular greens powder and their berry flavored one)
* Aloe juice (if you haven't used it before, use carefully -- too much can give you the runs, just a headsup)

You can also obviously add in some yogurt if you like that, I'm not big on the taste in smoothies, but many people are. If you find that your smoothie is too sour, I always add in a banana. That usually takes care of it, if not I'll add in a Tbsp of raw honey.

Hi - I've been drinking green smoothies for a month and I've lost 20 pounds. They keep me full all day long and I forget to eat. Sometimes at night I eat a big salad, but other than that I think its a great way to get all the veggies in..
