Good add-ons! Thanks!</p> <p>@tororojo: Green tea ice cubes!

It's very powerful and makes the smoothies very smooth, like Jamba Juice... they use Vitamix too. Works really well with frozen fruit! Definitely look into it... My mom got ours at Costco I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/green-smoothie-recipes#post-249333 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 09:36:06 +0000 mrsjazz 249333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NYCaliMama: As I drink my slightly gritty green smoothie, I find myself completely jealous of you and your Vitamix! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/green-smoothie-recipes#post-249305 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 09:14:37 +0000 looch 249305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oohhhh, how do you like your Vitamix? I am looking into purchasing one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/green-smoothie-recipes#post-249300 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 09:07:30 +0000 tororojo 249300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I slice and freeze bananas, freeze chopped pineapple into ice cubes and try to keep frozen berries on hand as well. In the morning I toss in some of each, a handful of spinach and pour milk into the blender and voila! a delicious smoothie. Sometimes I freeze green tea into cubes and put some of those in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/green-smoothie-recipes#post-248986 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 20:13:12 +0000 JoJoGirl 248986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsH: That's basically exactly what i do, plus 1-2 TB of peanut butter, 1TB chia seeds, 2 TB flax seeds for fiber, and a banana. That makes a LOT of smoothie though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/green-smoothie-recipes#post-248974 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 19:47:32 +0000 SAHM0811 248974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsH: @chopsuey119: @Coco Bee: thanks gals! they all sound great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/green-smoothie-recipes#post-248768 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 14:30:34 +0000 Mrs. Pen 248768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My go to!! pina colada green smoothie!!</p> <p>1/3 cup of unsweetened coconut milk<br /> 1 cup of filtered water<br /> 3 teaspoons whole plain yogurt (If you don't want/can't have dairy, this is easily omitted)<br /> 6 ice cubes<br /> 1 banana (they can be frozen too)<br /> 1 cup of pineapple (frozen or fresh)<br /> 2 cups of kale or spinach (remove the thick centers from kale)<br /> Optional: 1 TBSP of chia seeds. Chia seeds help keep you full for longer, and have lots of other nutritional benefits! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/green-smoothie-recipes#post-248731 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 14:05:39 +0000 chopsuey 248731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NYCaliMama: my friend has a ton of smoothie recipes on her blog.<br /> <a href="http://www.greendrinkdiaries.com/category/recipes/smoothies/" rel="nofollow">http://www.greendrinkdiaries.com/category/recipes/smoothies/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/green-smoothie-recipes#post-248686 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 13:24:34 +0000 MrsH 248686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually use 1-2 cups kale, a cup or cup and a half or so of strawberries, a 1/2 cup blueberries, a small amount of liquid -maybe 1/2 cup skim milk, or cranberry juice, and some plain fat free greek yogurt (3 oz.). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/green-smoothie-recipes#post-248678 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 13:20:05 +0000 SAHM0811 248678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom got us a Vitamix blender and I love it... I just throw in random frozen fruit, soy milk, and protein powder... Instant breakfast!</p> <p>But I'd love some real recipes... especially some for green smoothies to up our veggie intake...</p> <p>Anyone have any smoothie recipes or ideas they'd like to share? </p>
