Your favorite type of smoothie
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?

1 banana
1 1/4c soy milk

Prob. a stilly question. Do you do this up in a food processor because of the swiss chard?0 -
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)0 -
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.0 -
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.0 -
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!0

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

Mine's so boring! I'm going to steal some of y'all's recipes! My fav is:
1 container Key Lime Yoplait Yogurt (Fat free)
Frozen strawberries
1 banana
Pomegranate juice0 -
1 banana
silk light chocolate soy milk
1 cup mixed berried
ice
blitz in blender
This sounds amazing! I just got a new blender and I do believe this will be the first thing I make0 -
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 fruit0 -
I agree! the longer i stay up the more night time snacks yummm0
-
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.0 -
