Our very basic everyday recipe is 1/2 banana, a handful of baby spinach, and about 1/2 cup of whole milk. Sometimes I add honey if he's sick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-green-smoothie-recipes#post-2076765 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 12:55:39 +0000 Shutterbug 2076765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>*bump* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-green-smoothie-recipes#post-2075984 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 00:10:48 +0000 Cchoi4 2075984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my family and I really love this one:</p> <p>-1 peeled orange<br /> -1/2 banana<br /> -1 cup of pineapple chunks<br /> -2 handfuls of spinach<br /> -teaspoon of honey<br /> -1 small wedge of lime, like 1/4 inch width (this adds just the perfect hint of tang..)<br /> -1.5 -2 cups of ice<br /> -1 teaspoon of flax seed (optional)<br /> blend and serve! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-green-smoothie-recipes#post-2075982 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 00:04:11 +0000 bhbee 2075982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always make basically the same one, which keeps it simple. 8-10oz water, 6 oz plain Greek yogurt, 1c spinach, banana, 1/4c each of 4 types of fruit - usually strawberry, peach, pineapple, cherry. Those really cover up the spinach. I use all frozen produce except for the banana. I've started prepping a bunch of the frozen stuff at once in quart bags so there's no measuring in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-green-smoothie-recipes#post-2075883 Wed, 18 Feb 2015 21:20:46 +0000 cmomma17 2075883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like spinach with strawberries, Greek yogurt, sometimes a little almond milk and a splash of Orange juice. Pineapple is really good too, and blueberries.<br /> DH likes banana in his. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-green-smoothie-recipes#post-2075881 Wed, 18 Feb 2015 21:15:57 +0000 chopsuey 2075881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: I keep it refrigerated and it doesn't get weird! :D tastes exactly the same as it does in the am </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-green-smoothie-recipes#post-2075879 Wed, 18 Feb 2015 21:13:39 +0000 woodentulip 2075879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like to take 1/2 a banana, some frozen fruit (love frozen cherries!), various greens (most often baby kale and spinach), almond milk and water, some chia seed and ground flax. YUM! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-green-smoothie-recipes#post-2075878 Wed, 18 Feb 2015 21:13:33 +0000 shellio 2075878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: I sometimes drink mine in the afternoon too and they are fine. Sometimes its in the fridge and sometimes I leave it out. Both seem fine. I put them in ball jars for storage. Sometimes I even leave them in the fridge for a couple of days and they are still fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-green-smoothie-recipes#post-2075877 Wed, 18 Feb 2015 21:12:07 +0000 shellio 2075877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: My basic is that I put in a banana, carrots, frozen fruit, kale, and then I just add water - I figure I don't need the extra calories or additives in fruit juice or milk products. Sometimes I add other stuff if its around, like yesterday I put in an avocado. I drink them almost every day and so do my LOs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-green-smoothie-recipes#post-2075876 Wed, 18 Feb 2015 21:10:41 +0000 Ash 2075876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: how do you keep the smoothie from getting all weird by the pm? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-green-smoothie-recipes#post-2075874 Wed, 18 Feb 2015 21:07:39 +0000 chopsuey 2075874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make them everyday! </p> <p>1 banana<br /> 1 Apple<br /> 1 large handful of greens (usually a baby spinach and kale blend)<br /> 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed<br /> Some frozen strawberries<br /> Frozen mango chunks<br /> Frozen peaches<br /> 12 oz water </p> <p>I drink half in the am and save the rest for a pm snack! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-green-smoothie-recipes#post-2075865 Wed, 18 Feb 2015 21:01:38 +0000 FaithFertility 2075865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: I had this every day when I was PG to make sure I got in my greens......I could not eat greens! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-green-smoothie-recipes#post-2075817 Wed, 18 Feb 2015 20:12:32 +0000 Ash 2075817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: @buttermilk: yum!

My favorite "recipe" is baby spinach, a banana, some frozen pineapple and mango pieces, and a combo of coconut and almond milk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-green-smoothie-recipes#post-2075804 Wed, 18 Feb 2015 19:52:58 +0000 buttermilk 2075804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My fav is one I adapted from a popular vegan cafe in NYC - called the Green Power Smoothie. </p> <p>It's 1 banana, 1 cored pear, big handful of kale, a spoonful of almond butter, and almond milk for the liquid. It's super yummy and the green taste is not overwhelming. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-green-smoothie-recipes#post-2075801 Wed, 18 Feb 2015 19:44:07 +0000 BSB 2075801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I grab a bag of frozen fruit from Costco, add some fruit and some fruit juice then a handful of two of fresh spinach. I would taste the fruit smoothie part first to check to make sure the smoothie is sweet enough. Then keep tasting after you add a handful of spinach. The spinach will change the taste but as long as you don't put a ton of spinach (like I did once), the smoothies taste like a fruit smoothie. </p> <p>This is the bag I get from Costco. I make a big batch of smoothies at once and freeze them in mason jars. I think I paid $8 for the fruit and $5 for the spinach and got 15 cups worth.</p> <p>[attach=147/15/njzu1j.416x600.costco-fruit.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-green-smoothie-recipes#post-2075794 Wed, 18 Feb 2015 19:36:32 +0000 Ash 2075794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need to get more greens in and my counselor recommended green smoothies. Any tried and true recipes? </p>
