Quote  |  Reply

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.

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
