Smoothies

I bought a nutri-bullet to make smoothies for my family for breakfast. I use fat-free vanilla yogurt, almond milk, raw almonds, kale, and then throw in whatever fruit I bought on sale; apples, blueberries, strawberries, etc. In the winter months I use frozen berries. The kids like the frozen berries better because it makes the smoothie icy. While I like the kids to have these in the morning, I only have one occasionally as they are high in calories, but full of protein and they taste really good. Hope this helps.

I make smoothies daily and use homemade milk kefir instead of yogurt. Lots of probiotics in it. I also add an apple, kale and spinach, and another fruit or two like blue berries, strawberries, banana, pineapple, or raspberries. I then blend it with a cup of ice. A Vitamix blender makes it quick and easy to make it every morning.

my go to smoothie is kale, bananas, blueberry, pinch of cinnamon, chia seeds, almond milk and greek yogurt.

Not sure about fat burning...

But I'm a smoothie junkie. I haven't been able to make them for a while, but after getting a new magic bullet for Christmas my sister gave me her old one. I'm at it again.

I like one banana, with 1 cup of frozen blueberries, and 1 yogurt cup (flavor of your choice). You could probably toss in a handful of greens to make a 'green smoothie', but I don't as I hate green smoothies.

Another one I like is 1 banana, 1 tablespoon of pb2 or peanut butter, a handful of strawberries, a little bit of milk, and yogurt. Comes out pretty yummy.

I tend to prefer ones with bananas. I love the banana texture. For sweetness, you can easily toss in a bit of sweetener, honey, or sugar.

I experiment all the time. With varying degrees of success.

A couple favorites:
3-4 cups coconut milk
2-3 tbsp coconut butter
1 cantaloupe

---

1 banana
1-2 cups almond milk
cocoa powder
2-ish tbsp peanut butter

---

strawberries
vanilla kefir

You can easily add nuts, oats, chia, flax, protein powder to pretty much anything for added boost.

If I'm using spinach, I almost always use strawberries as well. I usually only use 1 cup or so of spinach in my smoothie.

This is my favourite smoothie which I basically have every morning, and it gives me heaps of energy for the day:

6 x Strawberries
6 x Raspberries
150ml fat free vanilla yoghurt
1tsp LSA
1tsp white chia seeds
ice cubes
chilled water

I also add liquid iron and silica gel to my smoothies.

You can add basically any type of fruit to this. Sometimes I add kiwi fruit, watermelon, bananas etc
