Hey everyone! I've been looking everywhere for "normal" yet healthy smoothie recipes. I'm really not into the smoothies that contain things like kale, starwberries and spinach, or cucumber and beets or that kind of thing (yes I have tried them and I'm not too fond of them). I'm looking for recipes that are healthy and are basic or "creative" (I seen a pumkin pie smoothie somewhere). Thanks everyone and keep up the good work! :)

    My favorite smoothie is this one that I found on worldlifestyle.com

    Bikini Model’s Go-To Protein Detox Shake
    1 scoop protein powder (Christine’s recommendation: MGN Pure Isolate)
    1 cup kale or mixed greens
    1⁄2 cup strawberries
    8 ounces almond milk
    Directions:
    First, add kale/greens into blender (or blender cup), along with strawberries and almond milk.
    Blend for 15 seconds, then add scoop of protein, and blend for another 15 seconds.

    I always go to the website because they have a lot of unique but simple recipe ideas.

    The smoothie I've made the past 2 days is just a banana, some frozen mango chunks, spinach (I swear, you REALLY cannot taste the spinach at all), and a tbsp of chia seeds. Then just however much water my blender needs to get it to blend!
