Your favorite type of smoothie

tanyamg

So, running some good miles and burning those cals, I found that drinking smoothies has been a great way to eat some of those needed calories up.. my fav. recipe right now is

a scoop of soy protein vanilla powder
a banana
cup of blueberries (or whatever fruit you'd like to use)
1 cup (or a 1 1/2) of almond milk unsweetened or .....
after a good long work out, a cup (or a 1 1/2) of silk dark chocolate almond milk

and blend.. yummy yummy...

whats yours?

mine's almost the same, but i add kale, collards, spinach or chard.

for example, this afternoon we made (makes 1 quart)

3/4c swiss chard
1/2c strawberries
1/2c pineapple
1/4c blueberries
1 banana
1 1/4c soy milk
2T hemp protein powder

it's about 180cals for 1/2 recipe) and totally delicious.

One I drink on carb loading is... half pine apple half watermelon, and enough apple juice to obviously make a smoothie.

Prob. a stilly question. Do you do this up in a food processor because of the swiss chard?

elliecolorado

1/2 cup milk
1-1.5 scoops of unflavored protein powder
vanilla yogurt
frozen berries
and either a little water or apple juice (depending on if I have carbs to spare)

I like to use whatever fruit i have around, but one of my favorites is...
1 container peach Light and Fit yogurt
1 cup No Sugar Added Frozen Fruit Berry Medley with blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries.
1 cup Lite Vanilla Soy Milk
1 medium banana.
Blend together in blender.
The fruit is already frozen so there is no need for ice. Sometimes i add milled flaxseed if i have time to drink it before it thickens.

I've made two smoothies so far. The first one was: a scoop of protein powder, about two cups of frozen mixed berries, one cup of water (I used water because of my diabetes). I also used about half a cup of Presidents Choice greek yogurt. It was very good, I did find with the mixed berries that I had the seeds in my mouth.
My second was : a banana, a half cup greek yogurt, frozen peaches & I think maybe mangoes, one cup of skim milk. I found that the milk didn't raise my blood sugar. I used two scoops of protein powder. It was very good.

1 cup silk light vanilla, 1 banana, 2TBS peanut butter, 1 scoopful Smart Smoothie vanilla bean protein powder...sometimes i'll add a couple prunes or strawberries then ice...yummy!

no, i just use a blender but the greens go in first.

cobylea

1 medium banana
1 cup blueberries (or any frozen fruit)
1/2 cup vanilla fat free yogurt

Depending on the fruit I might add a little water

1 cup mixed berried

This sounds amazing! I just got a new blender and I do believe this will be the first thing I make

January91968

that sounds a lot better it seams like every body else uses protein batter, and soy milk. I tried the basics today
Mango strawberi and bannan mix not bad Oh and I throw in a little thing of yougurt.
I quess since I mixed it up in I just tasted the yogurt.

Maybe next time Ill add fruit but not the yougurt...
Oh then my question is how about all the carbs in the fruit

ArtsieSarah

I agree! the longer i stay up the more night time snacks yummm

fitnhealthyccthatsme

I've used the food processor to grind some quick oats and added milk & fruit. It needs a little tweaking though. :-)

I'm open to suggestions or hints.
