I bought a Magic Bullet today because I want to start eating breakfast again, and would like to make smoothies because I never ever eat fruit. Please share any great smoothie recipes you love!

This might sound gross but I do a bunch of spinach mango and chocolate milk. It is a really great way not to have to eat a salad (who has the time?) and it is really good.

I don't have an exact recipe, but I like to combine a banana with some frozen strawberries, plain Greek yogurt and a little OJ. I add spinach sometimes because you can't even taste it & it gets me an extra serving of veggies!

@Greentea: @jhd: Thanks, and I dont think adding spinach to smoothies is gross at all!

I love these oatmeal chia smoothies.

I've made the recipes on that site and they are all very good.
But to reduce cost and make smoothies in bulk, I now grab a $8 bag of frozen mixed fruit from Costco, add spinach, juice and oatmeal/chia mixture to my blender. I make them in mason jars then freeze. I thaw the night before and now have a great breakfast smoothie for the AM.

@bluestriped bee: that's a great idea to make in bulk & thaw as needed!

@bluestriped bee: Thanks!!!

LO and I have been loving: handful of frozen kale, splash of orange juice, dollop of greek yogurt, and some frozen pineapple. Mmmmm....
-
My favourite is unsweetened vanilla almond milk, a banana, a handful of frozen strawberries, a splash of OJ, some plain, full-fat Greek yogurt, a scoop of vanilla protein powder and a couple handfuls of baby spinach.

I make one that is the same as @heartonastring: 's except I throw in a cup of frozen freestone peaches instead of strawberries. So good!

One frozen banana, a handful of frozen strawberries, a container of Greek yogurt (plain or flavored), handful of fresh spinach, add your liquid of choice. I just use plain water. Then blend away! Very sweet and can't taste the spinach!
-
ooh adding spinach is a good idea, I kind of hate it but could use those vitamins!
I usually do banana, frozen fruit (whatever we have--various berries, peaches, pineapple, mango), greek yogurt, and milk. if i'm not adding frozen fruit I add a little ice. yum!

Thanks so much for all of these recipes, I'm excited to try them!
