Looking for some good Smoothie Reciepes

I have 2 per day ...
1 bottle zico coconut water
Greek yogurt
kefir
blueberries
cherries
Sometimes I'll add 1 tsp coconut oil.
My second one is the same as above but usually I'll use pineapple & mango instead of the berries & cherries.0 -
I used to make this after swimming when I needed a filling breakfast!
1/2 ripe avocado
1 small / med banana
Water to thin / skimmed milk
Handful of oats (if very hungry!)
You can add a spoon of honey / agave nectar too if you like it sweet, though there is some sweetness from the banana.
I usually found that one glass of this would fill me up pretty well and I could fill a bottle to take with me for late morning.
I'd really recommend getting the Innocent Smoothie recipe book (I bought it for a pound on Amazon) - it is WONDERFUL!
Good luck with the smoothie breakfasts!0 -

I used to do a lot of green smoothies but my husband got sick of them so we have just been making fruit smoothies lately...but I want to start adding kale & spinach again soon.
right now I typically do~
1 to 2 cups mixed fruit~either raspberries, blueberries, grapes or blackberries...usually a mix of them.
2 scoops protein powder,
1 c light vanilla soymilk
1/2 c OJ
a couple handfuls ice
(depending on the tartness I might add 1/2 to 1 tsp agave)
This makes enough for two people.
Or for my protein smoothies, I use 2 scoops chocolate soy protein powder, 1 tbsp peanut butter or almond butter and 1 c unsweetened almond milk, a handful of ice. Occasionally I add a small banana. Either way, it tastes awesome.0 -

1 cup of fat free vanilla yogurt
1 tbsp of honey
either 1 banana, strawberries, mango, or pinapple
and some ice
OR if you prefer a more milkshake like smoothie
1/2 Silk unsweetened vanilla almond milk (50% more calcium, lower fat!)
1 tbsp of honey
strawberries, mango, etc.
Try to avoid Greek yogurt because even though it's low in fat it has a higher sugar content, and sugar can hold back your weight loss rather than progress it.
1 tbsp of cinnamon a day is also said to help speed up gluclose metabolic rate
and honey is a good natural sweetener and also a good source of antioxidants.0 -
My recipe is simple because I use it for a snack in between meals to get me through until my next meal. I use frozen strawberries so that the smoothie will have a thick consistency. It is only about 100 calories.
1 c frozen strawberries
1/2 c non-fat milk
1 splenda packet
Mix in blender.0 -
Don't know if you like green smoothies, but I'll share my fave.
1 cup light vanilla soy milk
1 cup strawberries (fresh or frozen)
1 frozen banana
1 peeled orange
1-2 cups fresh spinach leaves
(some times I add about 1/4 cup of orange juice or more milk if it's not mixing well in the blender)
refreshing and delicious ; )0 -

1/2 bottle of sparkling ice (your choice of flavor)
1 cup frozen fruit (i used strawberries)
60 calories
Had this yesterday; used black raspberry sparkling ice, could only taste strawberries.
Yummy!0 -
Oh I just make my own lol. But they are tasty.
Whey protein powder (vanilla flavor)
banana
peanut butter
soy milk (vanilla flavor)
I just visually add the amounts (this one is great source of protein)
strawberries
banana
blueberries
water/ice
I get a lot of frozen fruit because I just don't eat it fast enough at times and it can be cheaper. Most fruits thrown together taste good as a smoothie no matter what. I've tried veggie smoothies and still haven't really found one that I've liked.0 -
