    A lot of these smoothies sound great but have protein powder in. Would they be the same if I swapped this for some oats in instead?

    My friend has said to use oats instead of wasting money on protein powders? (never used protein smoothies before ad want to ramp up my energy & weight loss)

    The cantaloupe + shredded beet + peeled, deseeded cucumber + yogurt + ground flaxseed smoothie this morning was pretty good -- better than it might sound. Flourescent pink as well. The color of those pink highlighters, actually.

    i recently was given a magic bullet and i've been a smoothie frenzy. (nevermind the normal blender that's been sitting in the cabinet forever... lol). my favorites right now, as i've been having chocolate cravings...


    1 cup unsweetened chocolate almond milk
    1 or 2 Tbsp. chocolate PB2
    handful of frozen strawberries (or blueberries, or raspberries... or a mix of all)

    otherwise, i just blend a bunch of random fruits, either with orange juice or regular almond milk. i like to throw some flax seeds in for the fiber.

    i bought a bunch of fruit at the flea market the other day (mostly berries and bananas) and got a bunch of ziplock bags and filled them with portions of what i'd put in my smoothies... that way i can just grab a bag in the morning, and throw it in the bullet. easy and delicious.

    On a more relevant note:

    A big ole handful of spinach, a banana, tbsp of peanut butter, a tbsp of baking cocoa and a scoop of protein powder (mine's chocolate). Blend the heck out of that. Add more cocoa or a bit of honey to hide the green colour or sweeten it, respectively.

    Its a dark chocolate Reese smoothie and you can't taste the spinach at all. Also, add ice or chill it before drinking, or use frozen chunks of banana.

    Also add your choice of liquid to thin it out. Milk, yogurt, almind milk, coconut milk, whatevs.

    So many of these sound amazing!

    But I hate bananas. Do those of you who use bananas do so for the flavor or to help the texture / thickness?

    Can anyone recommend alternatives?

    Thanks!

    The banana adds texture and sweetness. You could throw in avocado and some honey instead, or use yogurt.

    When I make a smoothie I put bananas, strawberries, milk or yogut (a little bit), ice.. Yum. I need to buy some fruit. Good thing there is a sale this week at the store.
