and i've been having a lot smoothies
it's such a great way to get your veggies in
this morning i had a pear and banana smoothie with like 2 huge handfuls of spinach, carrot juice, half a cup of milk and a tbsp of honey
it was like i drank a salad and didn't even have to put dressing or croutons in it to make it taste good or anything
i am going to look for a good smoothie recipe book today
I really like the smoothies too! :) It's easy when you are in a hurry and you can take it in a "go" cup with you. Also it seems I can get more fruit and veggies in as opposed to eating them whole. I put the whole fruit in less seeds. then also I have room for my protien group. I have actually added soft tofu to it wich makes it creamy and adds alot of protien. It really fills me up for awhile. Here's some stuff I have combined before:
orange and banna
pear and apple
pear and red grapes
apple and red grapes
carrot and apple
Pineapple and apple
Colard greens, cilantro, kale, a green onion, and a pinch of kosher salt
tangerine and grapefruit with ice and I use stevia to sweeten it. It makes a really refreshing drink in the summer.
i just bought some canned pineapple and canned lychee
i'm going to try it with some yogurt
i don't have tofu, but i might pick some up and try that
i think i'm also gonna put in some zucchini and celery and see how they taste
A smoothie I particularly like is a banana, some cottage cheese, a touch of skim milk and either unsweetened cocoa powder of cinnamon depending on your tastes - yummy! Tastes just like a milkshake.
i actually wasgoing to put some cottage cheese in my smoothie today
but wasn't too sure about it
i went with a cucumer, kiwi, lychee today
so good
That sounds really good! I will try it sometime. I love lychee but it is hard to find where I live.
i actually found it at walmart believe it or not!
in the canned fruit section
a little pricey [$3 for a good size can] but i only use a couple per smoothie
omg i totally am going to break out my brother's magic bullet and do this :)
how much veggies can you sneak in without tasting them?
I only wanna taste the fruit in the morning!
i put in a pretty big handful of spinach the first time i did this
and i couldn`t taste it at all
a few times i added more and more and i could taste it, but it didn`t taste bad!
i would say just add and blend until you get the right amount
