That sounds really good. I love pumpkin. My go to morning smoothie is simple.
1 cup frozen spinach
1/2 cup frozen mixed berries
1 T chia seeds
Water (I've never measured the water, I just put in enough that it will blend and add more if it is too thick)
Sometimes I add a scoop of vegan protein powder.0 -
Today I had bok choy, tumeric, goji berries (from my MiL), mixed berries and chia seeds. (and water). It was sweet and a little spicy.
My regular is kale or spinach, mixed berries and chia seeds (and sometimes half a frozen overripe banana).
And sometimes my vitamins lol. I use "Zipfizz" which is a multivitamin in a powder, similar to EmergenC. It adds a lot of flavor.0 -
Holy cow I'm having a fabulous smoothie. Spinach, pumpkin, ginger, turmeric, flax seed and some berries (and my orange flavored vitamin powder). Ginger and turmeric add such nice flavor.0

Made this last night and got two big smoothies out of it:
1 cup almond milk
1 cup coconut walk (or regular water)
2 cups spinach
3/4 - 1 banana
1 cup paradise blend frozen fruit (mix of strawberries, peaches, and mango I think)
1 tbsp hemp seeds
1 tbsp chia seeds
It wasn't too sweet either

I should start mixing it up with my morning smoothies!0

Today I added hemp hearts. What a lovely addition.0

My go to is
Spinach
Coconut water
Banana
Mango
I just love it!
Sometimes I add chia or hemp or flax.0 -
Today I was out of "base vegetables". I'm currently drinking a cucumber, berries, coconut milk, hemp, flax and chia smoothie. Tasty! But not enough calories, so I'm also having a handful of nuts. Cucumber. Who knew.0

I love cucumber in smoothies... very light and refreshing.0

I'm really going through a phase now.
Spinach/kale
pumpkin
ginger
turmeric
hemp hearts
soy milk
berries
zipfizz orange (this is the weird one, it's a powdered vitamin drink that I often add to smoothies for more flavor. The orange one makes this particular one taste so yummy)0 -
My tuesdays/thursdays are brutally long. I'm trying for more fat in my smoothie to see if it can last me until lunch. Today's included a half an avocado. We'll see!0

I find that adding beans to my smoothy helps hold me over.0

I've been drinking green smoothies for... a year and a half? Maybe more. In the beginning I was more adventurous. Then I settled into a routine. A while back I altered it a bit. Regardless: I've always had a question, based on something I read on another site. Does the average person really need to cycle their greens? I *did* cycle between spinach, kale, and "other" (cabbage etc) for a while. But lately I've been using the Godsend of greens: Costco organic kale/spinach mix. It makes having greens around 24/7 so easy. I buy fresh greens each time I go to the market, of course, but these make it easier to always have.
But now that I'm eating them mixed, it's got me re-wondering about the need to cycle them. Thoughts?

I love that costco mix. If you use a mix of greens each day, how is that different from cycling your greens? I know Dr. Fuhrman says not to make spinach more than half of your greens.0
