Smoothie recipes?
What do you like to put in your smoothies? I need some good ideas to expand my small list.
Here's my usual- plain yogurt a banana frozen blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries sometimes some peaches and/or pineapple almond butter ground flax seed water for consistency What other things to you put in? I'm getting a little bored with the same thing all the time. I'm also wanting to try adding some veggies, but I'm not sure what combinations are good. I don't like many veggies, but I need to eat more. The only thing I really need to keep the same is to have some sort of protein source added in. I don't care for the almond butter a whole lot, but I'm getting used to it.

Re: Smoothie recipes?
I usually do milk, a banana, and frozen blueberries. Then I just change the fruit when I want something different. Sometimes I add a bit of honey. Lately I've been adding half a dragonfruit - I find it very tasteless so it doesn't make it taste weird but adds antioxidants, fiber, Vit C and various minerals.

Re: Smoothie recipes?
I've added kale before and it's been good. I put a leaf or two in the blender. I think I've also done spinach, but I can't remember for certain.

Re: Smoothie recipes?
I often put in some sprouts, or liquid cloryphyl (spelling!!) for some vegie goodness.
And seeds... sesame, poppy, sunflower, etc. Rolled oats 100% orange juice Buttermilk I've been buying bananas when they're cheap and really old and freezing them which means there's always some ingredients to make a smoothie!!

Re: Smoothie recipes?
bumping for ideas.... I'm dairy free and use OJ in place of yogurt/milk. It's yummo!

Re: Smoothie recipes?
My usual is a green, like spinach, romaine or kale, and then banana and strawberries with some water and a couple cubes of ice.
I might throw in some kefir or other fruits, but that's my favorite. I also am going to start drinking a white smoothie once a day, that has coconut meat, bee pollen, honey, bananas, and some nut milk. |

Re: Smoothie recipes?
We just made a yummy breakfast smoothie, tho it tastes like sherbet and could totally sub for it...
-1 (12 oz) can frozen OJ concentrate -2 c milk -half a bag of frozen strawberries. I'm not sure what size the bag was. I just kept putting 'em in until it looked yummy. The frozen strawberries took the place of the sugar that most orange julius recipes call for and doubled as ice. |
