you did not actually give the proportion of ingredients. so not really a recipe just a name. most of those will be very low in protein by the name. thats the problem with most advertised smoothies. mostly carbohydrate no protein. without at least 15 grams protein, not at all great for breaking a fast.

incidentally peanut butter is 'ok' i mean better than high saturated fat cheese, but its not really packed with anything but fat -though its not a bad fat. 20 calorie serving which is considered a serving, has a moderate amount of protein - 7 grams. 17 grams fat. small amounts of minerals. 2 % daily recommended value of iron and 4 % calcium. Almonds basically the same thing.

spinach is good great for you in substantial quantities, but you need a ton for it to add up to anything significant.

the rest is fruit which yeah its ok but vegetables are way healthier and blending fruit doesn't make it any healthier than just eating it straight out of the basket.

none of this stuff causes weight loss. except that if you eat it instead of cheeseburgers and fries you're eating less. if you eat twenty of as smoothie though you will gain weight. so its not the food but the amount. also the smoothies are deficient in protein which is bad for a weight loss plan. also in my opinion smoothies without protein lack creamy thickness and taste lacking.

easier that making and eating veggies. healthier too since they aren't cooked. it's become a go to way to get veggies at dinner around my house... even my 16 month daughter loves a kale and mixed berry smoothie

[Prof_Don]

Excellent #DadMove giving ur daughter veggie smoothes! Gotta sneak in those veggies. :-D

[madhatters4]

@Prof_Don funny thing is i don't have to sneak veggies in her food. she's insane. she eats more vegetables than i do by choice. she could eat peas 24/7. spinach, carrots, asparagus, cauliflower, she's loves them all. i feel like a slob compared to the way she eats

[Prof_Don]

Wow that's impressive! One less thing to worry about!

[madhatters4]

@Prof_Don haha. yea. enough to worry about so great to not worry about her diet

[COCOCHANEL]

ya it's best to avoid exposing vegetables to heat (except tomatoes)

[madhatters4]

@COCOCHANEL are tomatoes better for you cooked vs raw?

[COCOCHANEL]

yes, the lutein becomes easier to access apparently

[COCOCHANEL]

by the way i was the same way when i was a toddler, loved vegetables. my dad often remarked about this when i was older and didn't eat the vegetables on my plate ”aww, i remember when you used to love vegetables”

And ah I love this take :') it gets me all fired up to diet.

[COCOCHANEL]

papayas are the best for skin !

[SensualScribe]

I love smoothies. I want to try that almond, papaya, and banana smoothie. That is the only one I have not had. The others I have tried at least something similar.

[Elarra]

Oh my gosh, I love you for this. I've been looking for various smoothies to help me with my weight loss. I do like... that same three and they're good and work, but I'd like some more variety.

[BrileyCat]

now in winter i make veggie smoothies i warm up as a thick soup
i also add differ squashes, papaya, avocado... even a little yogurt or sour cream.

[rjroy3]

I treat smoothies like desserts. Better to stick to fats and proteins, unless you're working out or going to be really active

[JoyGirl]

Spinach smoothie? 😵
Everything else sounds good.
Well done!!! 👏👏👏
