Just started making them and only tried one and I LOVE IT! :love:

It has:
1 banana
360ml of semi skimmed milk
1/4 tsp of ground nutmeg

It's delicious!!

My hubby likes to add 2 scoops of vanilla icecream to build the cals up and make it lovely and chilled.

    if you chop up the banana, and freeze it, when you add it to the smoothie it's like ice cream with out the calories :)

    my fav smoothie is:

    1 banana
    frozen berries
    frozen yogurt or skim milk
    honey

    can't start my day without it!

    I mix:

    1/2 a frozen banana
    1 cup frozen blueberries
    1/2 cup frozen strawberries
    1 cup fresh baby spinach leaves {remove any stems}
    1/4 cup greek yogurt
    approx. 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk {sometimes need to add more}
    couple packets of stevia

    Not necessary but sometimes add a few ice cubes.

    I don't measure, just guess. Sometimes it makes more than I want. I said "sometimes" a lot. lol

    Have any of you tried the almond/coconut milk yet? LOVE IT!

    8 oz almond/coconut milk
    1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder
    Frozen Bing Cherries (don't know how many...just plop some into the mixer !)
    Fresh Strawberries....same as above....throw some in the mixer!
    .... and blend.

    Yummy....also in the freezer aisle. GOYA has frozen mango, papaya, and a few other fruit pulps. It's very convenient and easy to add to your smoothies/protein shakes

    1 ripe banana
    2 ice cubes
    1 cup low fat banana or preferred yogurt
    couple of splashes of preferred milk if you like it creamier

    1/2 of a mango or banana
    1/4 cup fat free milk
    blended with a few drops of stevia if the fruit isn't already really ripe!
    High protein, low fat - my fav post work out smoothie.

    My favorite:

    2 cups baby spinach (sub with 1c spinach, 1c kale quite often)
    1 frozen banana
    1-2 whole kiwi's (chop off the ends but keep the skin on)
    1/2 avocado
    1 cup water

    Blend in a Blendtec or Vitamix, and it is DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!! (It can work in other blenders, but the two listed are the best at breaking down the spinach and kiwi skin - velvety smooth!!!!!!)

    Sometimes I will sub the kiwi for a peach, depending on what I have. I use berries sometimes too...
