Smoothie recipes

1 cup frozen fruit of your choice
1 cup milk (or fruit juice works too)
4 tbsp non-fat yogurt

a handful or 2 of spinach and you would never know its in there

blend away!

I sometimes buy the Smoothie bag mix thats in the frozen fruit section. U can make 2 smoothies out of them and they taste pretty good.

my smoothies are really easy ~ and this recipe feeds two of us.

i light yoplait yogurt (i like very vanilla)
1 cup of frozen fruit (I like strawberries, mangos, blueberries and a few peaches)
half cup or so of almond milk, soy milk or orange juice to get it to the right thickness
Teaspoon of vanilla

whip it up in the vitamix or blender of choice

a teaspoon of cool whip or readywhip on the top makes it pretty to look at :-)

(I don't like banana's myself in mine as it makes the texture weird.... and most fresh fruit doesn't work as well to get that desert/milkshake experience.)

love smoothies, here's my regular recipe

Absolute Vegetarian Soy protein in Vanilla ( I prefer the flavor of this to the Whey protein's out there)
1 cup of Almond milk (less calories than regular milk)
1TBSP of ground flax
1 TBSP of peanut butter or almond butter
1/2 banana
1/2 cup frozen mixed berries

I use mine as a meal replacement when I am too busy to make something healthy, so I try and pack as much in there as I can....

I have not tried this one yet but it sounds good.

These all sound so good..will be trying them.

Just got my Magic Bullet and need some good smoothie recipes. Thanks for sharing!

Am I the only one who DOESN'T like dairy in smoothies??! Just fruit, fruit juice, and ice--that's the only way I will drink a smoothie!

I make an Apple Oat Slushy sometimes that I use 1/2 cup 10-cal cranberry juice in and then water/ice but for most smoothies and especially protein shakes I CANNOT do no water ewwww! I did it for 2 days on a cleanse and it's just gross. I was however successful in amending my protein shakes to 1/2 cup milk, 2/3 cup water and 3/4 cup ice - it's creamy and delicious you don't notice the water in the taste and it makes my smoothie XXL rather than my original 1 cup skim milk option = medium.

That being said, for the sake of creativity try a Mango Lassi (traditional Indian drink done low-fat)

Mango Lassi

½ cup frozen mango chunks
¾ cup skim milk
100g low-fat vanilla yogurt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 packet sweetener

Directions: Mix all ingredients in a blender until smooth.

WW Points: 3

1 cup frozen fruit (any kind)
1/2c Pacific Organic UNSWEETENED Almond milk (good flavor, fiber, etc)
1/2c Stonyfield farms Fat-free plain yogurt
1/4 cup OJ
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp Bob's Red Mill Flax Seed Meal

Mix in blender and yum!

If you want to do chocolatey kind, skip the fruit and juice and add ice, a bit more almond milk (or water) and about 2 tbsp ovaltine.

BUMPPPPPPPPP I LOVE SMOOTHIES!

I have one every morning for breakfast:

1/2 cup frozen raspberries (lower in sugar/carbs than other fruits)
1/2 cup frozen fruit of choice (I use a pineapple, peach, mango, & strawberry mix from Walmart)
1/2 cup frozen cut spinach (great source of iron)
1/2 cup plain greek yogurt (great source of protein if you don't use powders like me)
2 Tbsp ground flax seed
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (less calories than regular milk and NO sugar)
1/2 cup Trop50 orange juice (gives it extra flavor without all the calories/sugar in regular fruit juices)

Has SO MANY good nutrients and only 310 calories for a 24+ oz smoothie. I stay full until lunch everyday.

*You can also make one with a banana and 2 Tbsp of peanut butter for workout recovery smoothie

I love this

1 C Skim chocolate milk
1 spoon of peanut butter
1 scoop protein powder
ice

you could add banana too

it's like a chocolate shake
you could also use almond milk to cut the calories
