My husband bought me the magic bullet for christmas. i work out almost every morning before work and so i thought i would start making some smoothies with protein the night before to bring with me in the morning. i have made a couple of different drinks but i'm looking for some other great ideas. What do you put in your smoothies?

    Water + protein powder. Perhaps replace water with milk if you so desire!

    My personal favorite and hangover remedy is:
    1/2 almond milk
    as MUCH spinach as you can fit in it ( or just 10-15 leaves if your not hungover)
    2 tbsp peanut butter
    a handful of walnuts
    a banana

    I'd suggest google or facebook pages about smoothies/eating green/juicing pages. I have a ton of pages that post recipies daily on facebookl!

    I can't read "magic bullet" and not think of something inappropriate. True fact.

    I have this almost every morning:

    1/2 cup lo-fat cottage cheese
    1 scoop protein powder (vanilla)
    1 cup berries (usually strawberries)

    It fills me up and gives me extra protein. Yum!

    My favorite is 1/2 c orange juice, 1/4 cup vanilla yogurt, 1 scoop chocolate protein powder, 1/4 c mixed frozen fruit (I like the peaches, mangos, strawberries & pineapples), with half a banana. I've also swapped out the frozen fruit for frozen berries (blue berries, rasperries, strawberries) and apple juice instead of orange juice.

    My hubby likes milk w/vanilla yogurt, chocolate protein powder and peanut butter. He makes his own so I couldn't tell you how much of each he uses. Sometimes he's a rebel and uses chocolate syrup instead of the protein powder lol. :devil:

    I just got the Nutri Bullet- it works great for smoothies. I like to use spinach &/or kale, chard & green apples & blueberries
    to sweeten it a little & sometimes also put in some protein powder. I've never been to good about eating those
    kinds of veggies & drinking them in a smoothie is way easy!

    I found a Smoothie chart on Pinterest that gives you different options for each segment of the smoothie recipe. Just go to Pinterest and search for 'Smoothie Chart'. You'll find several helpful tools, including alot of Green Smoothie ideas. I just started trying them the other day. The first one I made was;

    4 Strawberries
    1 Greek Yogurt (Pomegranate)
    about 3 oz Organic Vanilla Soymilk
    1 Frozen Banana

    Helpful hint was that the frozen banana worked like ice to thicken it up. It tasted very good.
    Good luck.

    My recipe is very similar to this one, and considering I don't eat alot of veggies throughout my day, it works out great!

    1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
    1/2 cup non-fat plain Greek Yogurt
    1 banana
    1 tbsp. Peanut Butter
    Handfuls of spinach (till blender is full)
    A few ice cubes (if desired)

    Very good and not too high on the calorie count.
