Smoothie Recipes???
I love the idea of smoothies - healthy ones of course. But when I try to make them, they are always so bland and unflavorful unlike the tasty (and "bad") ones I have bought in the past. Anyone have a good-tasting, healthy, preferably simple recipe they would recommend? Thanks!

Yoplait has packaged smoothie mixes that are good and healthy. You just add low fat milk to the frozen fruit.0

I normally do one banana, 1/4 cup raspberries, a table spoon of peanut butter or a scoop of whey protein (chocolate or vanilla) because I'm a vegetarian and I work out so much I need more protein than I can get my hands on. I also use rice milk and they have all sorts of different types and kinds you can use. Chocolate, coffee, vanilla. I just use plain but the others are good for you to if you using diary.
Oh, and then I blend :}
Basically I buy frozen fruit and mix that with bananas normally. Any kind and whatever your in the mood for. If you want the better taste or added sugar basically you could put a thing of your favorite yogurt in there as well. that just ups the calorie intake and sugar intake but over makes it taste better.
I also use a lot of spinach leaves in mine hahah you can't hardly taste them it just makes the drink green and super good for you, and I use a lot of grinded flax seed.0 -
Skim milk, fat free plain yogurt, frozen fruit, protein powder, dry oatmeal, voila!0

Here's one that another MFP friend of mine tried a few days ago and she said it was great and very filling:
1 scoop vanilla protein shake
1 tablespoon whole ground flaxseed meal
5 oz. non-fat Greek yogurt
1 peeled banana
3/4 cup vanilla soy milk
1 rounded tablespoon dark hot chocolate powder
1 tablespoon chunky peanut butter
a few ice cubes
Blend all ingredients.
I can't wait to try this.0 -
I love the yoplait ones. Though, making my own is it's own victory too.0
