Smoothies

[FitnessBrat]

Does anyone drink any of the smoothies that have greens and stuff in them? Not just OJ and strawberry junk, but spinach and carrots mixed with fruit. I assume you could add protein to them, as well?

I have a hard time eating much throughout the day - especially if I have a lot going on. I don't stress eat, I stress not eat. :wacko: I thought this might work for A meal - not all of them.

Example recipe -

Beginner Smoothie

½ cup Simply Orange Orange Juice (I use this brand because it’s 100% juice, and has no preservatives)
1 medium banana
4 oz Light ‘n Fit Strawberry Yogurt (or flavor of choice)
½ cup baby carrots (about 9)
1.5 cups fresh spinach (or about ½ cup frozen)
6 strawberries (medium/large)




Berry Green Smoothie

½ cup Simply Orange Orange Juice
1 medium banana
5-6 strawberries (medium to large)
1 cup frozen broccoli
½ cup frozen spinach
1 cup yellow squash (frozen or fresh)

Yeah, just saw them at BJ's. They look so gross I don't ever try them, lol.

They aren't bad really

I just did strawberries, blackberries, banana, protein and oj to start. I haven't used protein powder for awhile, and that in itself takes some adjustment.

I do green smoothies. No fruit. Too much sugar for me... I gained a lot of weight drinking blueberry, strawberry, yogurt and oj smoothies back in the day.

My smoothies look something like this:

1 cucumber (peeled)
1 cup spinach
1 cup kale
1/2 lemon
3 sticks celery
small piece of peeled ginger
1 scoop of green vibrance powder

Blend it all up and drink. Doesn't taste all that great, but damn it's healthy.

juiced you dont think an apple or something added to that would make it taste better? lol. i cant imagine how an apple added to all that green shit would make it to sweet. even half an apple.

[FitnessBrat]

I don't know if I could jump right in to that thing! I'm going to try one with spinach tomorrow - provided my blender can handle it.

we talking juicing or smoothies

[FitnessBrat]

A smoothie - blending all of the fruits and vegetables together.

[Bouncer]

i think a smoothie involves adding ice and other shit no?

think mr i is right.

[FitnessBrat]

No, with juicing only the juice is extracted - leaving behind the pulp/fiber/etc of the fruit/veggie. This is blending up the entire thing, with a liquid and either yogurt or protein = smoothie.

i am pretty sure juiced1 is talking about juicing. no way he blends up all that shit and drinks the pulp of all that green shit. lol

[FitnessBrat]

Why not, he peels the cucumber first.
