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

I change mine around all the time, sometimes I throw some more things in and sometimes leave things out or swap honey for artifical sweeteners or out altogether. I LOVE banana as you can see! I would love to move onto some greener smoothies too and experiment with a few other things!!0 -
I make a frozen banana, chocolate vegan protein powder, 1 tbs pb2 (or real p. butter) 1 cup spinach and 1 cup almond milk...tastes like a banana chocolate shake. yummm0

about 5 lg froz strawberries
1/2 C froz mango
1/2 C froz peaches
1 scoop Garden of life Raw Protein Powder
1 scoop Green Superfood powder
5 drops stevia
1 T Nutiva Coconut Manna
a few big handfuls of spinach
Coconut Dream coconut milk about 2/3 to top of fruit in blender
...sometimes I throw in a few cashews or cacao nibs. I spilt this with my 7 year old daughter (about 60/40) every weekday, and we LOVE it!0 -
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. lol0 -
I use crushed ice and coconut water as a base then I add any fruits I have. Delicious and it makes me feel I am cheating but I am not!0

wow thanks for those fab smoothie recipes Ive recently got into them declicious! I think the key to a nice smoothie is to have one frozen ingredient to give it that nice chill, I use frozen berries yum, will try some of these0

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 Banana
1 tablespoon of peanut butter
200ml almond milk

A thick filling smoothie:
1 tbsp honey (optional, i think it's too sweet)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 ripe banana
2 ice cubes
1 cup low fat banana or preferred yogurt
couple of splashes of preferred milk if you like it creamier0 -
1 cup non fat greek yogurt
1/2 cup strawberries (or any berry)
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.0 -
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...0 -

I cup plain greek yogurt

GREEN SMOOTHIES! Fruit only smoothies are like candy treats ! LOL
1 Banana
3 cups Organic Spinach
2 cups Organic Kale or Beet Tops or Carrot Tops
1/2 C Organic Blueberries
1/2 C Organic Raspberries
Chia seed
Flaxseed
Nutritional Yeast
Filtered WATER (if I need electrolytes- Zico Coconut water)0 -
My go to is banana, mixed berries, and plain greek yogurt. I freeze the banana and the berries come frozen. That with the greek yogurt makes a nice thick creamy smoothie.
I add cocoa powder for a treat.
I'll also add whatever fruit i have on hand, and 9 out of 10 times it turns out really well.0 -
1/2 frozen banana
1 TBS peanut butter
1 C almond milk
1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder
ice
..so delicious!
Mine is very similar indeed. I use the whole banana instead of half and skip the peanut butter. The vanilla powder I use lends the smoothie an almost coconut-y flavor. If I'm cutting calories I may also use a half-cup almond milk and fill it up the rest of the way with water. If I'm not cutting calories I sometimes add frozen berries. I've seen peanut butter used before this in a similar recipe. I've decided I have to try it!0
