So, whatcha like in your smoothies, eh?

Not exactly exotic or fancy, but my latest concoctions have been overly ripened peaches and kiwi fruit with a splash of Torani Sugar Free Peach syrup with a handful of ice. Not too shabby but I want some new smoothie ideas...


(If anyone should suggest a recipe containing "nut butter", let me just get this out of the way now: /beavislaugh.)

    Protein Powder
    1 cup coconut milk, unsweetened
    ripe banana
    little water if needed
    crushed ice

    sometimes will add berries. its nothing exotic and maybe boring..yes. but damn tastey.

    you could also add some "nut butter" as well. me likes almond butter.

    I like frozen ripe bananas, a scoop of whey protein and almond milk. This week I am also adding 1/4c canned pumpkin and some pumpkin pie spice and vanilla. Yum!

    Put into blender or bullet 1 frozen, chopped banana, 1/4 cup frozen blueberries, a handful of spinach, and a tablespoon or two of agave syrup. Add a cupful or two of almond milk or coconut milk and whir until smooth. I call it my blue/green smoothie and it is the bomb.

    Same here, but I use almond milk! And I love it just as is. I tried adding chocolate or other fruits, and well, I'm just happiest with plain banana, and its thick enough to make me think it's a shake.

    When I make a smoothie it's usually to try and get in some protein. So my base is:

    1 scoop plain whey protein
    1/2 c. fat free milk
    1/2 c. low fat Greek yogurt (adds a nice tang, but you could just use more milk if you don't like that)
    1 frozen banana, sliced

    Then, depending on my mood, I'll add one or more of the following:

    1 c. frozen berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries... go wild here)
    1 Tbsp. PB2 (you could use regular peanut butter if you have the calories)
    1 Tbsp. cocoa powder
    1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
    1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
    1/4 tsp. almond extract

    There are so many amazing options for smoothies. Hope you find some new ones you like. :drinker:

    I start with plain yogurt. Add frozen/fresh fruit. My fave combinations are strawberry raspberry, mango strawberry, blueberry spinach...add a banana to any of these if you want it sweeter. I don't like them, but I can't taste them in these.

    Why must people always use banana?! I am not a fan.

    My smoothies usually are 1/2 c milk, 1/2 cup plain yogurt, 1/2 cup blueberries and a scoop of chocolate powder. It's the only way i was able to start "eating" breakfast
