I just use frozen fruit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-smoothie-combos#post-1467099 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 15:27:09 +0000 however briefly 1467099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do pretty much the same as @septca: every day except for a few modifications. For DH and I I put 2 bananas, frozen strawberries, ground flax seed, two handfuls of spinach or kale (and I really do mean large handfuls), some OJ (although sometimes we use that V8 pomegranate blueberry juice), and some cottage cheese. I pour DH his glass and then I add a spoonful of Nutella into the other half and blend that for me :) It's pretty much my sweet treat for the day! Typically if I have that, later that night I'm not craving anything for dessert! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-smoothie-combos#post-1467096 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 15:26:21 +0000 mfa_lady 1467096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My two faves are:</p> <p>Greens + coconut milk + blueberries + strawberries</p> <p>and </p> <p>Greens + coconut milk + peaches + fresh ginger</p> <p>I also usually add chia seeds or hemp hearts to both of these.

The frozen berries eliminate the need for ice and it whips up so fast in the bullet!</p> <p>The OJ seems to help mask the green flavor, but I just got some orange-carrot juice to try in place of regular OJ to up the veggie content. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-smoothie-combos#post-1466896 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 14:33:15 +0000 autumnlove 1466896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coopsmama: sounds amazing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-smoothie-combos#post-1466805 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 14:16:47 +0000 septca 1466805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lovehoneybee: I usually use fresh spinach. I have never tried frozen spinach (that you buy frozen) - seems like it would be kind of slimy? BUT I often freeze fresh spinach and then use that for smoothies - can't tell the difference at all (and it's a great way to save spinach that's about to turn). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-smoothie-combos#post-1466764 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 14:08:31 +0000 coopsmama 1466764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love avocado + banana + coconut milk + honey.

I use spinach, kale, or a combo in all my smoothies. My husband used to look at me like I was crazy, but he agrees that you *cannot* taste the greens... and now requests a green smoothie every single morning. </p> <p>I used to make my smoothies with almond milk, which doesn't mask the flavor of the greens as well, but is still really good. Now I use about 1/2 cup of OJ (plus some water), which I find is just a brighter flavor - and it completely masks any greens flavor.</p> <p>Caveat: I would stay away from bitter greens, like arugula or chard. Those you can taste. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-smoothie-combos#post-1466660 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 13:48:54 +0000 mediagirl 1466660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1/2 C + 4 frozen strawberries<br /> 1/2 C frozen blueberries<br /> 1.5 C apple juice<br /> 1 banana<br /> 3 ice cubes</p> <p>Puree until smooth. SO good. :) The banana gives it the smoothness you might otherwise get from a dairy ingredient. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-smoothie-combos#post-1466659 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 13:48:52 +0000 Fronkinzankinsbride 1466659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For my wife I make blueberry, peach, vanilla yogurt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-smoothie-combos#post-1466646 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 13:46:31 +0000 septca 1466646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Banana<br /> Frozen berries (currently used blueberries and raspberries)<br /> Orange juice<br /> Spinach<br /> Ground flax seed<br /> Greek yogurt </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-smoothie-combos#post-1466644 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 13:45:45 +0000 LBee 1466644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We love any kind of smoothie! We do 1/2 cup of fat-free french vanilla yogurt, 1 cup orange juice, and handful (or two... depending on my mood) of fruit. This morning we did strawberry, banana, and peach. I have found the certain fruits - in particular, blueberries - can totally overpower the smoothie. I've learned to not waste my "good fruit" on smoothies with those overpowering fruits, as I can't taste them anyways. </p> <p>I've been wanting to experiment with kale, but my husband has been apprehensive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-smoothie-combos#post-1466642 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 13:45:24 +0000 autumnlove 1466642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: What base do you usually use?</p> <p>@Fronkinzankinsbride: Yum! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-smoothie-combos#post-1466633 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 13:43:50 +0000 Fronkinzankinsbride 1466633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Frozen strawberries, banana, and coconut milk. </p>
