Hey all,
I'm wanting to utilize smoothies more often for healthier (cost friendly) snacks/breakfast options. I usually add in some unflavored protein powder too and it seems to go well with a milk base.
SO... what are your favorite smoothies?

All great ideas! Thanks!!!0

Best smoothie ever:
Frozen blueberries, Frozen strawberries, Banana, 2 cups unsweetened almond milk, 2 tablespoons unsweetened creamy almond butter, and handful of kale.
If you use more blueberries than strawberries, the smoothie will be pink! I usually use about 5 whole strawberries and probably about 2 cups of blueberries. Calorie count is about 350-4000 -
Apple Pie Breakfast Smoothie. Comes in at barely over 300 calories with 21 grams of protein. 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk, 3/4 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt, 5 raw almonds, 1 banana, one red apple cored but not peeled, and apple pie spice (which is just cinnamon nutmeg and clove) to taste. Although I usually use 1/2 cup of my homemade applesauce which is just a bunch of apples cooked lumpy with one cinnamon stick and one vanilla bean (there' s no need to add sugar).0

I usually have plain yogurt and frozen fruit.0

where do you get unflavored protein? I don't like the vanilla or chocolate flavor.0

For amazing smoothies try the book: SUPERFOOD SMOOTHIES by Julie Morris. She is also releasing a juicing book. I have two smoothies a day and so far I'm doing great.
As for unflavored protein you have a few choices. Rice protein is good. So is hemp (though it does have a slight earthy flavor) Try hemp pro 70, it's pretty good. But so far my favorite is: Schinoussa - Probiotic Whey Isolate. The unflavored version has a very slight sweet taste to it (most whey protein does) so you are less likely to add sweetener to your smoothie.
As a last little note, I add a scoop of Visalus to each of my smoothies as well. It gives added nutrition while making them taste almost like ice cream. So far I like: Ginger pear, Chocolate Kale and Cranberry Orange. But my absolute favorite is Pistachio Cherry. Yummmmm.0 -
For me it's 1 scoop protein, a cup of almond milk, cold chai tea or cold coffee, half a banana, and frozen berries. So good!0

The "glowing green smoothie" is great - just google it. A recipe from some "nutritionist to the stars" that I read about in a magazine, but then started making at least a few days a week. Delicious, healthy, and our entire family loves it. Only change I make is to add extra parsley, along with the parsley stems, cause that stuff is so dang healthy.
Sometimes we have them straight, and sometimes I add some raw rice protein powder (unflavored).0 -
I prefer to eat my food in solid form.0

It is true that you cannot completely eliminate solid food from your regime. Believe it or not your body can gradually loose the ability to digest it if you do! I use my smoothie (with added protein powder and visalus) as combination nutritional supplement and protein boost, as well as my afternoon snack and dinner before I head off to the gym for training. I learned my lesson about not eating right when I passed out during a session with my trainer. Low blood pressure + low blood sugar = no consciousness. So I make a few smoothies on the weekend, freeze them and in the morning grab 1 or 2 and put them in my bag with my lunch when i go to work. I work a customer service counter so I'm not allowed to eat at my workstation but no one notices when you are drinking from a stainless steel bottle that it is not water you are drinking
They are good because unlike juice you do not strain away all the fiber and plant protein. Also it's the only way I can stomach wheat grass, cantaloupe and raw tomatoes.... Seriously, try Julie's Strawberry Basil Smoothie (with cherry tomato) surprisingly tasty... and I CAN'T STAND raw tomato!0 -
Frozen banana, almond milk, kale, greens powder, sometimes protein power. Or coconut water, frozen pineapple, kale.0

Tomatoes are great with a little salt and pepper.0

Cut out the milk entirely and save yourself the calories
200 ml fruit juice
100 ml water
3 spoonfuls fat free strawberry yoghurt ( thickener )
1 banana
Handful frozen raspberries
Handful frozen pineapple
Deliciousness ????????0 -
1 cup frozen mango
1 cup pineapple (fresh or frozen)
1/2 cup coconut milk (or whatever kind of milk you prefer)
1 cup spinach
This is absolutely delicious and tastes like a tropical milk shake to me0 -
My favorite smoothie that I made consists of spinach, bananas, mango, vanilla almond milk, and coconut water

Right now, I'm trying to make a smoothie from different recipes each day on my blog so this thread is gold for me! Post more of your favorite smoothie recipes everyone0 -
I just posted this to another smoothie thread, but it fits here as well. This is one I had this morning:
2 cups nonfat milk
1 scoop protein powder
1/2 cup oatmeal
1 tbsp hemp seed
1 tbsp chia seed
2 tbsp flaxseed meal
1 banana
1 cup frozen rasberry/blueberry blend
Calories: 686
Carbs: 111 grams
Fat: 17 grams
Protein: 35 grams
It was good. And thick. I ate it with a spoon.0
