So I have a juicer and its never been used, so am looking for some recipes so I can put it to use and since I know natural juices are good for you. I also need a smoothie recipe, I love them and I want to stop getting them from fast food places. Thanks:happy:

    A green smoothie I like is two hand fills of baby spinach, half a banana or so, and a cup of chunked fresh pineapple. Oh and about half a cup of water (but it think fresh juiced orange juice would be yummy). Blend that all in a blender until smooth.

    Have fun experimenting with your juicer. My husband and I loved ours (haven't used it in a while). We would juice spinach, carrots, and tomatoes together. ANY juiced fruit is good. Enjoy mixing and matching.

    Ultra simple smoothie. I scoop of whey proteing powder, 1 cup of fresh fruit of choice and 1 cup of frozen fruit of choice and 1 cup of water. Blend and enjoy!

    The frozen fruit is what makes it slushy and nice like the store bought ones. The whey powder not only gives you a dose of good protein but it gives the smoothie a creamy texture.

    100 grams frozen ripe bananas (When they turn spotty brown I peel them and place chunks of them on a cookie sheet and freeze. Bag up when frozen.)

    1 scoop protein powder of your choice
    6 oz unsweetened coconut milk

    Delish!

    I vary it with different frozen fruits, different flavors of protein powders or add instant coffee or spices. Chocolate- cherry is great too.

    Frozen fruits are also great for smoothies :) I love putting frozen peaches and mangoes in with orange juice! Because of the frozen fruit consistency, you don't need to add anything, they blend up to a nice smoothie consistency without any extra filler :)

    My morning smoothie is veggies and fruit:
    1 1/2 cups of chopped kale
    1 small banana
    small handful of blueberries (I keep a bag in my freezer)
    1/2 cup of plain yogurt
    1/2 cup of skim milk
    1 tsp ground flax

    Looks awful, smells great and is full of goodness. This amount would be enough for 2 people. I sip on it all morning long and it keeps me going til lunch.

    that sounds good, i use the almond milk too...i chop up my kale in the food processor to resemble parsley flakes-throw in ziploc in the freezer and sprinkle it on everything...that and flaxseed meal.

    One of my favourite smoothies:

    5-8 large strawberries
    1 large banana
    Milk (as much as desired, although too much will take away the fruity flavour!)

    Blend. Enjoy. :)

    I actually like it better with ice.. with the milk I had to put it back in the freeze for a little while to make it shake-like.
