I LOVE smoothies, especially the Weight Watchers chocolate ones - but they are expensive. I also make a smoothie from Almond Breeze.
1 Cup Almond Breeze (unsweetened vanilla)
1 Tablespoon Splenda
1 tsp vanilla
1 banana
ice (about 10 cubes)
Mix it altogether in the NINJA - very good.
Any other smoothie ideas out there?

I've started making green smoothies and LOVE them! I was always afraid of a smoothie that was the color of a tree frog! Not afraid anymore! My favorite one so far is this:
1 cup almond milk
1 banana
1/2 cup frozen mango chunks
1 tbsp raw flax seed
3 cups of fresh baby spinach leaves
1/4 of an avocado
DEEE-licious!0 -
Frozen banana
1/4 cup frozen blueberries
1/2 cup unsweetened green tea
1/2 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
1 cup spinach0 -
1 cup Light Silk Soy Milk (original)
1 serving peanut butter (its like 30g or something)
1/2 to 1 scoop GNC Soy-95 protein powder
3-5g cocoa powder
ice
blend
tastes like a chocolate peanutbutter milkshake... its my new favorite thing.0 -
This is my basic smoothie. I keep the proportions the same and change up the liquids (oj, yogurt counts as liquid) and the fruits (mangoes, spinach, whatever). It depends on what I have in the freezer, which depends on which fruit I bought fresh and didn't eat after all. Sometimes I add sunflower seeds or flax or something. I don't use ice or powders. It's always deelish!
2 c whatever kind of milk
handful of frozen strawberries
1 banana (frozen or not)0 -

1tsp of flax seed oil
1cp strawberries
1 banana
1/4 cp carrots and celery
1 tsp of organic honey
1 tsp of lemon juice
ice
1 scoop whey protein vanilla0 -
2 huge handfuls baby spinach
1/2 avocado
2 tbsp chia seeds
1 cup pineapple
I pint raspberries
2 frozen bananas
Do you soak the chia first for yours? I read that the slimy part is the healthy part. I wonder if this needs to grow or if it's present and just dried in the dry seeds.
Also, I love all the avocado here. I hadn't thought of that but have had avocado slushies at Vietnamese restaurants and like those.0 -
My favorite smoothie recipe:
1 scoop vanilla GNC soy protein powder (you can use any kind, I just like this one. I've tried others, they just tasted bad.)
frozen strawberries and blueberries
Silk soy milk
If I use a sweetener, I use maple syrup or honey
I used to also put in bananas, but they are considered an "unfavorable carb" in the diet I'm following, and 1/3 of a banana doesn't work for me.
Thanks for the ideas everyone! I'm looking for new smoothie ideas.0 -
