Smoothie Recipes Thread

We got a blender for Christmas, and we want to make smoothies. There's a million recipes online. What are your favorites?

Our go to is frozen strawberries, banana, fat free milk and a scoop of vanilla protein powder. Nothing super fancy, but we have it for breakfast about half the time along with a slice of whole wheat toast.

pismoduo we do something like that usually.
starbuck27 I'm totally trying that; I love kefir, pomegranate juice, and coconut milk...great way to sneak in some greens!

I'm all about simple when it comes to smoothies!
Coconut milk
Frozen pineapple (I add mango)
Ice
Or
Any frozen fruits you like
Plain Greek yogurt
Honey
Or
Frozen Blueberries and pineapple (I clearly like pineapple a lot)
Plain Greek yogurt
Tbl almond butter
Kale
Honey
Ice (if necessary or water to thin it out)

(Note: Can use vanilla Greek yogurt instead of plain and cut out honey...H thinks the yogurt has too much sugar so we use plain)

@pineappleoranges the Lazarus sounds amazing. I'm gonna try that one, too!

Alton Brown has a smoothie recipe that I use a lot. I like that he calls to put everything in the blender the night before so it can thaw. That way in the morning you just blend & go!

1/2 cup soy milk (or whatever milk you have - I've used different kinds and it comes out good any way)
1/2 cup grape or pomegranate juice (I always use grape because it is so much cheaper)
1/2 frozen banana
1/2 cup frozen strawberries
1/2 cup frozen blueberries
1/2 cup frozen peaches

Combine in the carafe portion of the blender the night before and keep in the fridge overnight then just blend it up in the morning! 

I just buy big bags of the frozen fruit and keep them in the freezer.

1/2 a frozen banana
2 tspb of peanut butter
1/2 cup of instant oatmeal
1/4 cup of raisin
1/4 cup almonds

We call it the Lazarus because it will revive you.

I'm intrigued by the idea of adding oatmeal to smoothies. It sounds so healthy!

I looooooove adding oats to smoothies! Definitely try it. It tastes delicious and it adds protein to the shake which I like. @pineappleoranges That sounds so good.

We don't have a recipe but we buy frozen fruits from Costco and I just combine whatever sounds good. Usually it's something like this..

Kale or spinach
Banana
Berries
Pineapple
Mango
Protein powder
Flax or chia seeds
Splash of coconut water and pom juice.

I keep thinking I should try specific recipes but it's usually early and I'm a robot in the morning.

I read the bolded as porn juice and was like "what is that?' then I was like "eww" then I was like 'oh-we got a freak over hurrr."  my mind and the things it considers normal

Eww that sounds awful!
