Anyone want to share their healthy smoothie recipes?

[crystalt70]

I do not want recipes that will aide in weight gain. I am looking for recipes that include the following in EVERY smoothie.

Category 1: A Liquid Base of water (including coconut water), organic dairy milk or non-dairy milk.

Category 2: Proteins like non-fat greek yogurt, unsweetened (whey) protein powder (I know absolutely nothing about these), etc.

Category 3: High Fiber Fruits and Vegetables like apples, pears, berries, etc.

Category 4: Healthy Fats (nuts, seeds, etc)

Category 5: Accent Ingredients like vanilla, cinnamon, mint, ginger, etc.

I need them to be less than 350 calories. Thank you!

I mix
1/2 a cup of vanilla light and fit yogurt (you can . Use strawberry but I'm allergic to the food dye in it)
1/2 cup of unsweetened almond milk (this is only 15 calories)
and then as much fruit as you want. I typically go with at least a cup of all kinds of berries because they are high in fiber. Sometimes I throw in a banana, an orange, kiwi, spinach peaches, pineapple, whatever is on hand. It always comes out tastey. The more spinach or kale you put in you should add more fruit to mask the taste.

I can make an entire large blender for 1 weight watchers point and that is from the yogurt.

Yeah, spinach and kale can be overpowering.

I don't really know about the calories in these smoothies, but I'll give you my measurements.

Almond banana smoothie
•2 frozen bananas
•2tbs almond butter (I make my own)
•1 cup almond milk
•You can add a handful of kale

Apple Pear Spinach Smoothie
•1 Granny Smith Apple peeled
•1 pear peeled
•2 cups fresh spinach
•1 cup fresh squeezed orange juice

There's a lot more but I don't know if they'll fit all of the categories you mentioned 😕

Thanks for the input!

My favorite is a base of carrot juice with a small avocado, blueberries, strawberries, banana, and spinach.

Seriously, the spinach just disappears in this drink, and the carrot juice gives a nice sweetness.

Try to get organic, especially with the berries! You can buy frozen and they're really not that much more expensive. :)

[crystalt70]

Hmmm... I may have to try this. Thanks!

[DodgersGM]

Of course. :) If the avocado is a little too radical, then omit away! But try it sometime. Seriously.

[crystalt70]

I love avocado, but have been leary of putting one in my smoothie. I have all of the items you listed, except for the carrot juice. The liquids I have and use in mine are water, coconut water, skim milk and almond milk. I will have to get some carrot juice this weekend.

Everything's under 350 if you portion it small enough 😄
