I need to get more fruit and veg into my diet. I'm hoping to make and freeze smoothies so I can just grab them for breakfast or a snack.
Any smoothie recipes you particularly love?

@aprk: I use this as a base: http://peachesandcake.com/2013/05/01/avocado-banana-spinach-smoothie/
Love it! Chock full of good stuff; even my 15m old loves it.

It might not be the healthiest but it satisfies my chocolate craving and gives me some protein.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie:
1 cup milk ( can use almond milk)
1 frozen banana (peel and freeze before)
2 tablespoons peanut butter
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
Handful of ice
Optional: oatmeal -
@MapleMoose: That's my favorite too... except I use less peanut butter. And I just dump everything in... unmeasured!

@locavore_mama: I don't really like avocado* but this would be a good way to get those good fats!
* except guacamole, weirdly
-
@MapleMoose: ok yum

@aprk: hm. DH doesn't like avocado either so he's not a huge fan of this smoothie. LO does not but loves this smoothie! hahah.
You can easily swap everything out with something else! I'm going to use this base and make a blueberry / mango / spinach smoothie tomorrow morning for us. Basically what I have in the fridge that I need to use up.

I use the Abs Diet smoothie recipes from Men's Health and Women's Health. This one is one of my favs -
3/4 cup skim milk
3/4 cup mixed frozen blueberries, raspberries, strawberries
2 teaspoons vanilla Designer Whey powder
3 ice cubes
3/4 cup instant oatmeal, nuked in water (optional) -
@Ash: I'm a peanut butter fiend so I *may* add more than that...
@aprk: It's great for when you want something sweet and almost like a milkshake
