I'm seeing a lot of people saying that they're making smoothies, and everytime I have tried making them myself, I was not impressed! So if anyone has any good concoctions they'd like to share, I'd love to have them!
Thanks!!
Thanks!!

I use orange juice, frozen fruit with no sugar added and a cup of cooked broccoli. I learned this one from a friend minus the broccoli.0

I use:
Frozen Strawberries
Frozen Mango
Fresh Pineapple
about 1/4 of water/orange juice combo
BLEND all that first
Then add about 4-6 ice cubes
Serve in large glass with straw
YUMMMM!!!
PS. I personally do NOT use yogurt or milk at all.0 -

Basic Recipe
1 cup of your favorite milk (dairy, nut, rice, or soy) OR 1 cup of your favorite flavored yogurt and 1 cup of water
half a cup of your favorite berries
a second fruit of choice (if you like it thick and sweet); super ripe bananas are always nice
1-2 scoops of protein powder of choice (vanilla is always the safest choice)
1 tablespoon of ground flax or chia seeds (optional)
1 cup of ice
Toss it all in a blender and blend on high till smooth.
Enjoy!!0 -
my fav=strawberries, banana, oj and ice...if you use frozen fruit you will need less ice...also like to add just about any fresh or frozen fruit I can get...if you like it whole you will like it in a smoothie0

bump is just something people post to "bump" a thread up near the top of the list by adding activity to it... or if you don't get any replies you can bump your post so more people will look at it0

My current favorite is a "dessert" to me.
almond milk
peanut butter
banana (frozen)
hershey's chcoclate syrup or cocoa powder
vanilla protein powder (sometimes)
Stick in a blender & go. If it's not thick enough, I add ice. I am loving this right now and it is totally taking care of my sweet tooth.0 -

Forgive me, I make everything by eye, so I have to measurements for you. My smoothies are usually based in fat free vanilla yogurt with skim milk. Then add frozen fruits (I like berries the best.) Use splenda to sweeten. And if you've heard of it, The Ninja Kitchen System is the best blender I've ever seen. Pricey but worth it, especially since you can make a batch of smoothies for the whole week in 10 minutes! Here are some of my favorite fruit combinations: Berries w/ oranges, strawberry/banana, mango/peach/banana, berry/banana. I've never tried adding veggies, but people say if you do it right you can't taste them. I hope this is helpful.0

My current fav is Orange-Pineapple:
Blend together...
Orange juice
Danon Light and Fit Vanilla yogurt
Frozen pineapple (you will want to flash freeze to prevent the block 'o pineapple)0 -

Actually.... "bump" refers to someone bumping up an older thread so it's back on the front page, for easy viewing. I realize that's not how people use it here though...0 -
