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 -
Instead of lettuce, try spinach. It's healther. Try this recipe:

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!!!!

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...
