Smoothies?

Banana, pb2, almond milk, and protein powder. Cut the bananas up in pieces and freeze. Blend everything together! You can do a lot with this one too. Add oatmeal, chocolate, or spinach. Spinach can be added to almost any smoothie. Doesn't change the taste but adds a serving. Strawberries, mango, banana and orange juice. You can add some yogurt to it too. Same with peaches, mango, and strawberries. Always freeze your fruits. It helps and you don't have to use ice if much at all. just remember the more you add to it like oj, yogurt, milks it will add calories.

You can go on pinterest and there are tons of smoothie recipies!

If you like gingerbread, Oxygen magazine has a recipe for a delicious Gingerbread cookie shake: 1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder, 1/2 scoop chocolate protein powder, 1/2 cup vanilla enriched Rice Dream, 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt, 1/2 tsp ginger, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1 T molasses, and ice cubes. Blend and drink ! Mmmmmm

I also like a Creamsicle, which is a cup of orange juice (I get the Healthy kids kind with extra calcium and vitamins), half a scoop of vanilla protein powder (I’ve been getting spirulina), and a lowfat vanilla yogurt. Blend and drink.

The Protein Packed Pina Colada smoothie is blended with the following ingredients: Cup cottage cheese, cup canned pineapple or cup pineapple juice, half a frozen banana, half a cup of milk, 1 T coconut, half a scoop vanilla protein powder, and a cup of ice cubes.

The Key Lime Protein Shake is blended with half an avocado, juice of a lime, 2 tsp lime zest, 1 scoop of vanilla whey protein powder, 1 T coconut, a cup of milk, and 1-2 packets of Stevia (optional).

The Chocolate Maple Shake is made by blending a cup of milk, 3 T protein powder, 1 T cocoa powder, and 1 tsp maple syrup

Last but not least, for a change, I blend a cup of orange juice (I get the Healthy kids kind with extra calcium and vitamins), half a scoop of chocolate protein powder (I’ve been getting spirulina), and a lowfat coffee yogurt. Also good!

I'm in love with a veggie smoothie that I've been perfecting. Finally got it just right tonight:

1 lb tomatoes (beefsteak)
1 cup baby carrots
1 cup cucumber
1 cup red pepper
1.5 cup spinach
1.5-2 limes
1 cup low sodium veggie juice
1 oz sriracha
(71 calories per cup)

Two cups of this in the morning and I feel full a good part of the day.

OMG ~ gingerbread!! I have been on a pumpkin kick, but this one will be on my list also!

I make mine with whole milk yogurt, two handfuls each of fruits and veg (depends on what I have on hand), cinnamon, vanilla extract, flax seeds or wheat germ, and a splash of whole milk if it needs it.

I like this one:
costco organic kale/spinach blend (frozen)
soy milk
hemp hearts
flax seeds
berries
turmeric
ginger
and if I'm extra hungry: 1/2 avocado
It's a fabulous powerhouse smoothie with lots of great nutrients

ETA: if I'm having caffeine I add a tube of zippfizz (orange flavor) it makes the whole thing taste like a giant creamcicle and adds 10 calories.

I made this smoothie today with 1/2 cup of cottage cheese instead of soy milk. It came in at 28 grams of protein, 17 grams of fat, and 18 grams of carbohydrates (8 grams of fiber). 349 calories. Tastes like heaven.
