I realize this is 15 years late, but...
...I like smoothies!
I have always been a carnivore and carbivore...I like fruits and veggies, but I don't eat them by themselves. Not intentionally. So now that I'm carrying 20lbs of post-baby weight and I NEED to get healthy, I decided to try a Ye Ole 1990s Standby. The smoothie. I used strawberries, bananas, blueberries, applesauce, orange juice and some baby food carrots. It's good! So good that I might conceivably have one of these every day. So if anyone knows of good smoothie recipes, please share!

Re: I realize this is 15 years late, but...
I drank smoothies my first two months with Ivy and am about to go back to it because suddenly eating is not doable again. I just throw in whatever fruit I have, some almond milk and organic egg or two and I'm full most of the day.

I discovered smoothies a couple of months ago so you are not alone

Re: I realize this is 15 years late, but...
Well, since you are a reader you might enjoy a trip to the book store or library. There are TONS of books devoted to the smoothie... how to make them, what benefits they have, ect. We have a few here but, sadly, our blender went to be with Jesus and we don't have extra funds for a new one yet so no smoothies for me right now . Insert jealous-self-pity sigh here.
My sil makes one her family loves and its packed with spinach and all kinds of good for you stuff in it but it actually tastes good. |

Re: I realize this is 15 years late, but...
We just had smoothies for breakfast this morning!! My dd can't say smoothie, though, so we call them poothies! I just put in some yogurt, and some banana and strawberry. I have added some pears leftover from the night before, and that made it nice and sweet. I like the idea of putting applesauce in there, I'll have to try that next time

Green smoothies are a hit around here. We really like this one:
My standard breakfast smoothie is this:
Anyway, do a search for green smoothie recipes, or something to that effect, and you'll find a lot to read on here.

Re: I realize this is 15 years late, but...
I love smoothies, too! We use homemade yogurt, frozen blueberries and strawberries, a banana, a dash of vanilla, and a glug of juice. Yum! I'd love to find a recipe with spinach that is good. |
