Greek yogurt Strawberries Almond Butter Vanilla whey Banana Blueberries Blackberries Almond milk Peaches Oatmeal Honey
Hmmm not too sure as I have heard mixed reviews on smoothies and how much nutrition you actually get once the vegetables/ fruit have been blended. That said, I would use berries (superfood), banana (feel good factor!), avocado (good for skin repair I believe?) maybe some ginger or turmeric? I’m now more intrigued and curious myself to know what others would use...can that be answered?
Spinach, chia seeds, LSA, berries, unsweetened yogurt, unsweetened almond milk, protein powder, banana, peanut butter, cinnamon
Ice for coolness Peanut butter for creaminess Water for hydration Coconut for yumminess Baby spinach leaves for vitamins Dates for fibre and sweetness
Kale, mango, pineapple, apple, spinach, blueberries, strawberries, plant based protein (vanilla), coconut milk and flax and chia seeds.
Protein powder, HMB, creatine, maple syrup, milk (full cream), anti-oxident’s, extra vitamine’s for example: vitamin C etc. Honey, L-Carnatine & dextrose.
Nuts are a good source of oils, they keep you fuller for longer. Almonds go with everything, cashews are creamier Pears are nice Oats help to make the smoothie more filling. Stick ‘em in a jar overnight in the fridge with some water to soften them up. Add a tiny pinch of salt for flavour (trust me) Kiwis help with absoption of carbs, consider adding one along with oats, it creates a nice sour-ish counterpoint. Vanilla essence seems to make things taste sweeter and adds to the body of the smoothie. Cut back on some sugar and add vanilla. Bananas. But peel them, break them into chunks and freeze them beforehand. This makes for a smoother and creamier alternative to ice. Sesame seeds. These go well with honey and they add a depth of flavour if they’ve been slightly browned beforehand. Lettuce is okay, if you’re into that. I’m thinking of investigating Turmeric. Berries are nice with some plain yoghurt, just don’t overdo it, else the smoothie may end up too acidic. Apple and cinnamon go well together. Blend these with oats for a comforting winter smoothie (no need for ice, the oats add thickness) consider adding a clove or two as well.
The easiest is a protein shake: Protein powder, supplument’s like HMB, there are other suplament’s too you can add. You can go to the local & ask, that’s the best option.
I don’t recommend smoothies at all. I would recommend eating the fruit in its natural form, it will take you longer and would make you feel fuller. But answering your question, if you do it: mostly greens, like spinach, broccoli, etc..
Five vegetables or fruits of your choosing, some nuts in the mix, and maybe even something protein based that won’t at least ruin your smoothie’s flavour.
