I tried one for the 1st time yesterday the recipe I found was called green monster. There is a website for green monsters. I made one with:
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
2 handfulls of fresh spinach (don't use frozen)
1 TBS of flaxseed
1 banana
1 cup of frozen mango, papaya & strawberries
Couple cubes of ice
Turned out pretty good!!!!!!

So question...What if you are severely allergic to banana, ALL melons (including mango ad papaya), and avocados? Oh and celery? Pretty much all the recipes I see call for one or most of those...0

this come from a Vitamix page. The different combos is nice and will give you ideas. I would recommend purchasing a Vitamix machine. They are expensive, but well worth the $$ if you ask me. If you are a Costco member, you of course can buy them a lot cheaper. Costco has the "roadshows" and Vitamix is a popular one. I find that you don't even need to have a juicer - just the Vitamix. Anyway, hope these help you. - shal
1. Pick 1 from Column A, 2 from Column B, 1 from Column C, and add 1 cup of ice.
2. Place all ingredients into the Vitamix container and secure lid.
3. Select Variable 1.
4. Turn machine (vitamix) on and quickly increase speed to Variable 10, then to High.
Blend for 45 seconds, or until smooth.

Hi!
I just added my recipe to the database:
Green power Smoothie.
1 scoop Sunwarrior Protein Powder (Natural flavour)
1/2 fresh Avocado
1/2 Tbspn Lucuma Powder
1 cup Frozen Mixed Berries
Handful of Baby Spinach
1 Tblspn Liquid Colloidal Minerals, (I use the T.J Clark brand)
2 cups Sanitarium So Good - Almond Milk
1 Tblspn Lifestream - Spirulina Bioactive
ice cubes
for less calories you could leave out the avocado, I swap the avocado for a banana sometimes.0 -
Green smoothies are the best. I have been drinking them for ages. Truth is I never even considered that they would help me lose weight. I always thought of them as something to drink to help me be healthy. I am at the point where if I miss one day of not drinking a green drink I get sick and have a terrible headache. Not to mention I get sick more easily. The best thing I can tell you is to put everything... veggie wise is a drink. then add half of a banana. then.. add lots of beats. it seems weird but I promise it will help the green drink go down0

I've just made a delicious smoothie, so had to share.
1 sml. banana (around 5 inches)
0.25 cups of blueberries
1 sml. satsuma
1 cup of red grapes
2 handfuls of spinach
2 handfuls of spring green vegetables (or kale)
and for the liquid.....1 cup of cool green tea!!
I don't fully know how to work out nutitional value, but adding it all individually comes to 337 cal and it yields 1 delicious pint, and it even passed the picky-BF test. Plus, with the green tea, it'll help you burn fat throughout the day by raising your metabolism.0 -

I am so new to all this and trying lots of things. My favorite by far is the banana/strawberry/spinach (or greens) one....love it!!! I went and bought a blender to keep at our center so I can just make it for lunch. I have made a banana/papaya/spinach one and that was pretty good.
Those who drink them, are you doing it for weightloss or as someone said, for health purposes? If for weightloss, how often do you drink them? I am doing lunch so far.....that is my goal this week, have one everyday for lunch, then see about breakfast as well and just eat dinner.
I live in the tropics, so dying for summer fruits!!!!
