Looking for some good Smoothie Reciepes

I take my bananas (that are getting a little too ripe for me) skin and slice and put in the freezer. Then, when I want a cold smoothie, I add them to the mix and it makes it thick and creamy. 8)0

I love green smoothies. It really helps if you get a good powerful blender. This will make a nice consitency smoothie without any floaties and you can put anything you want in them.
I use a bunch of organic spinach
1 bannana
4-5 large strawberries
quarter cup of frozen fruit
1 spoon flax seed
dash of spirulina
1 spoon of acerola berry powder
2 spoons of protien powder
1 spoon of wheat grass powder
1/4 spoon of powdered vitamin c
4 oz of Bolthouse Farms fruit smoothie (bannana/ Strawberry or others)
Add water and ice and blend. You can add as much water as you like depending on your desired consistency.
I try to mix my greens around every so often to some other organic mixes too.
If you like it sweeter add honey, or yogurt or more fruit and less greens.
Its a great way to start the morning, its quick, filling and it makes you feel like you did something goof for yourself.
Hope this help.
Good luck and keep moving.0 -

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 -
