Ok, I'm new to the smoothie craze, and I'm wanting a filling, tasty, fat-burning smoothie recipe! I now own my own small bakery, and I'm constantly on my feet and haven't got time to sit and eat a meal for most of the day, so I really need something that doesn't require buying an entire section of the grocery store for it's ingredients! LOL! Fire away with your favorites, I'm willing to try anything! :)

    I make mine with frozen strawberries, blueberries, 1 banana, a little V-8 lite juice, green tea, flax seed, chia seeds and greek yogurt. This has been my breakfast every day for at least 6 months. I never ate breakfast before, just didn't like options and was always hungry soon after eating cereal.

    I don't have the time for anything with more than three ingredients anymore, haha. I keep a bag of frozen fruit on hand - strawberries, peaches, etc. Grab a handful, spoon in a wallop of plain, lowfat yogurt and a little water and pop it on the "bullet" mixer. Thick, tasty and very filling for me. Cheap and low in calories.

    Banana blueberry spinach

    1 C soymilk
    1 banana
    1 C raw spinach
    1 C frozen blueberries
    4 T soy protein powder
    2 T torani sugar-free almond syrup
    1/2 C cold water

    Mango strawberry banana papaya

    1 C soymilk
    1 banana
    1 C frozen mango strawberry papaya fruit
    4 T soy protein powder
    2 T torani sugar-free vanilla syrup
    1/2 C cold water

    I make both of these (in larger quantities, because this is one adult serving) for me and my 6 year old. They're 300-400 cals at this size. I figure if I can get my son to drink them every morning, they can't be all that bad. :wink:

    You can also add 1 T ground flax seed for your omega 3 and 1 t psyllium for fiber. Both are good ideas for making them more filling.

    Enjoy!! Smoothies are a fast and easy way to start the day.

    This Green Smoothie is around 300 calories and a fully nutritional and filling meal:
    You can't taste the spinach

    1 cup unsweetened Almond Milk
    1/4 cup 0% Greek yogurt
    1 scoop Vanilla Whey Protein powder (calories may vary on brand)
    2-4 servings Psyllium husk
    2 handfuls baby spinach (I buy the large package at warehouse store)
    1 cup Frozen Blueberries or strawberries
    a little sweetener or a tiny amount of a sugar free jello powder for more flavor

    This requires a full size blender, I use a Vitamix, but oster also works :bigsmile:

    Don't know about fat burning, but this is a quick one that doesn't need many ingredients

    3ounces (about 1/4 of a large can of Frozen juice concentrate (I like the old orchard brands)
    3ounces of fat free vanilla yogurt (greek or regular style)
    1/2 cup fat free milk
    Tsp honey(optional)
    1cup fresh spinach (optional)
    Blend in blender until smooth
    Add 1/2 cup of ice (about 5or 6 cubes) and blend for 30 seconds til ice is crushed

    You can also add protein powder if you are trying to increase protein.

    Makes one large 12+oz smoothie

    I posted this recipe a few weeks ago. It's quite tasty. I really enjoy it. It's from my running magazine.

    1/3 cup (75 ml) chilled water
    1 scoop (30 g) vanilla flavoured protein powder (I use sugar free)
    1/4 cup (60 ml) pure pumpkin puree
    1 tbsp. (15 ml) liquid honey
    1 tsp. (5 ml) finely grated orange zest
    1 tsp (5 ml) grated fresh ginger
    1/4 tsp. (1 ml) ground cinnamon
    1/4 tsp. (1 ml) ground cardamom
    2 ice cubes


    Place all ingredients in a blender and pulse until combined.

    Per Serving:

    200 Calories
    0 g Fat
    12 g Protein
    40 g Carbohydrates
    6 g Fibre
    161 mg Sodium
    18 g Sugar *estimated*

    The sugar wasn't listed in the recipe but I use a sugar free powder, the pumpkin is 2 g and the honey is 16 g. I guess you could leave the honey out for a lower sugar version. It really doesn't need it, or maybe even half the amount......

    I don't know if this is fat-burning, but I like it, especially before or after a workout. You can play with the amounts to get it to your liking:

    - 1 5.3oz container of Dannon Oikos Nonfat Greek yogurt (pick your fave flavor; I usually use vanilla or honey)
    - 1/4 tsp vanilla extract (or any other flavored extract you like)
    - A frozen banana (or some other frozen fruit)
    - Two pieces of semi-sweet chocolate chips
    - 1 Tbsp canned pumpkin pie filling
    - Just enough ice water and/or ice to get it to the consistency you want

    I sometimes top this with 2 Tbps of light whipped cream... yummy! :)

    I just found some interesting flavored extracts online that I plan to order: http://www.americanspice.com/flavorings-and-extracts/?sort=avgcustomerreview

    Hope you find something you like!

    A simple smoothie I make each morning:

    1 medium banana
    1c frozen strawberries
    2 large kale leaves
    1c of water


    I also have a juicer so sometimes instead of blending the kale I will juice kale & rhubarb first and add it to the smoothie mixture.
