Need your favorite smoothie recipe.

If you drink smoothies often, would you mind sharing your favorite recipes.

Re: Need your favorite smoothie recipe.

@Mindy D First let me say I am away from and do not have the recipe with me.  That being said I will try to remember.

 

3/4 cup coconut water 

1/4 cup blueberries

1/4 cup cranberries (not dried fruit)

1/2 frozen banana

1 tsp. chia seeds 

1 tsp. hemp seeds

1/2 cup fresh spinach

1/4 tsp. ground ginger

 

I believe that's it.  Very refreshing.

 

Good luck with other recipes!

Re: Need your favorite smoothie recipe.

2 cups frozen mixed berries - we use the ones from Costco
1 cup lemonade - we use Newman's
1 cup milk or plain yogurt
1/4 cup granulated sugar

Need a very good blender. If more liquid needed, I add lemonade.

It's very refreshing to drink after working in yard or after a particularly long run.

Re: Need your favorite smoothie recipe.

Low-fat milk

Fat free Greek yogurt

Frozen fruit

 

I usually use plain yogurt, but my recent favorite has been coconut yogurt with Walmart’s fruit blend of peaches, strawberries, pineapple and mango.

 

By the way @Mindy D , a poster on the ProBoard was asking about you. Have you made your way over?

I don't really drink smoothies anymore but I recently happened upon this recipe and it sounds like something I might try sometime. 


Low Carb Smoothie

 

1/4 cup blueberries (mixed berries is good too)

1 cup unsweetened almond milk

1/4 of a small avocado

1/4 tsp. Vanilla extract 

1 tsp. Powdered monk fruit OR powdered erythritol

 

Blend until smooth

@Mindy D   I don't follow a recipe but my morning smoothie is usually:  oat milk or almond milk, frozen banana, handful of any berries I have on hand, chia seeds, flaxseeds and sometimes vanilla protein powder.

@simplyfriends @How do you freeze your banana and how long do you need to freeze it for?

Re: Need your favorite smoothie recipe.

@Mindy D   I usually always have bananas on hand and  when they get ripe I put them in a ziplock baggie and throw them in the freezer. I have a drawer in my freezer with smoothie stuff.  I love mango peaches apple pineapple blueberries strawberries etc that I keep there for a quick smoothie. They are so delicious and fill you up.
