[kaleboy]

this is my daily lunch :)

1 banana
alfalfa sprouts
frozen berries
2 -3 cups of kale or spinach or other leafy greens
goji berries
bee pollen
chia seeds
green sea powder (spirulina/chlorella)
dulse flakes
pineapple juice
maybe one other fruit depending on whats in fridge

blend and enjoy (you float on air after this concoction)

prep and clean up 5 minutes tops

Golden Delicious apple, Kale, juice of half lemon, 2 cups water

[kaleboy]

one thing with apples is they are cheap and they give off a lot of juice so they blend well in the smoothies.

[JennaHoneyBear]

water
spinach
frozen pineapple
frozen mango
two ripe bananas

yum!

[bananafish]

Used to be banana, spinach, kale, kiwi, pear, mango, few sprigs of mint.

My new favourite is, banana, pear, spinach/kale or both, hemp protein powder, almond yogurt, vanilla nutrition essentials (natural choice products), a few shakes of cinnamon and a nut milk if possible, otherwise water. Thick, creamy, filly and tasty. Great for after a workout.

[proteus]

water
spinach
frozen pineapple
frozen mango
two ripe bananas

yum!

i hate water bananas in a smoothie - that's like drinking mashed potatoes.

[proteus]

one thing with apples is they are cheap and they give off a lot of juice so blend pretty well in the smoothies.

yep. and if you put apples in a green star juicer you can barely get any pulp to come out - it just goes straight into juice.

its scary how little fiber is in apples and how much sugar.

[drolemil]

Hmm... for me I like to keep things simple. I wasn't super into green smoothies at first, I had a tough time getting the right proportions of which kind of fruit. Once I got the knack of it I was sail

My Pricey Love </3

Green Applesauce

I don't think it's scary at all, considering apples are water rich. :heart

[RawHealthyBeauty]

Yo Proteus....... What's your favorite Green Smoothie?

In this thread, I wanna know what everyone's favorite Green Smoothies are and their inspirations for Green Smoothies!
.
I didn't asked to hear anyone's favorite Green Smoothie and inspirations to get dissed on. Please refrain from doing that on this thread. Thanks!!

Plus, this is a fun lighthearted thread to get us all motivated who wants to get into Green Smoothies Big Time!!.:throwhearts:

[GlimR]

My favorite is-
Fresh orange juice, two big handfuls spinach, frozen papaya, blueberries & banana..............the papaya make it so silky...delicious!

[bananafish]

Personally tho, I find it's pretty hard to go wrong with green smoothies, I have favorites, but I can only remember one occasion I absolutely didn't like what I concocted, when I added rocket leaves to it, was pretty undrinkable. So I wouldn't recommend that. Don't know what possessed me.

I'm newer to juicing but so far I feel the same about that, I'm loving everything I've made. :)

Though a lot of people don't like the taste of wheatgrass, I love it.

Yo Proteus....... What's your favorite Green Smoothie?

100 grams of spinach with either about ~300 grams worth of orange OR 300 - 400 grams of frozen strawberries. no water. you can add a few ice cubes. it comes out pretty thick but that's how i like them and i drink straight out of the carafe.

when i peel the orange i only cut off about 60% of the skin, just the outer part. i leave plenty of white pith on. the white stuff blends very evenly, doesn't have much of a taste and makes the smoothie thicker.

[green goddess]

Right now my favourite is the simplest I've ever made:

-several bananas
-cram in as much greens (kale, spinach, chard, and right now a bit of parsley! ;) ) as I can
-blend with water

I'm using frozen bananas at the moment, and the smoothies are so creamy. I'd also like to get into more savoury smoothies (get more veggies in!), so I'd love to see more recipes of that from people!

[Tenuviel]

I love so many, but I really like Sarma's cilantro shake minus the vanilla

I forget the actual recipe, but I usually use...

3 or 4 ruby red grapefruits,

1 or 2 cucumbers (peeled unless homegrown)

1 large bunch of cilantro

you can add dates or agave if you want it sweeter.

it's kind of fizzy and quite refreshing!

[RawHealthyBeauty]

OMG!! I love ya all for sharing!!!

Everyone's smoothie sounds so good!!

Thanks for sharing the Green Smoothie Love!!! :heart

[drolemil]

I gotta add this, it's amazing:
- 4-5 medium/large oranges
- 1-2 frozen bananas (depends on how banana-y you want it)
- smaaaaall piece of lemongrass (you can always add more if needed)
- 1 date
- greens (my fav for this: chard, spinach, bok choy)
:juicy::drool::heart:

[eat-live]

kale, parsley,water, kefir, lemon, goji berries, spirulina, chlorella, chia seeds!
sometimes ginger, sometimes garlic for a more savory smoothie. yum.

[kvinnalton]

Almond Fruit Smoothie is my favourite green smoothie. I like it and also used it for many times in a month. Also I want to share recipe for it. The recipe are as under:-
1. 3 leaves of kale.
2. 1 cup orange juice.
3. 1 cup frozen peaches.
4. 1 frozen banana, chunked.
5. 2 Tbs slivered toasted almonds.

I just got these recipes last week at our monthly raw food group. They were both amazing! I went out and bought Fenugreek seeds today and will begin spouting just to make the Milk Shake Smoothie recipe. Really...you've got to try these.



MILK SHAKE SMOOTHIE

1 banana
Brazil Nuts (a handful of about 12)
snip about one-half inch of vanilla bean
1 date (seed removed) "can use stevia instead"
1 C. water
Fenugreek spouts - 1 handful (about 1/2 C.)
Sprinkle Cinnamon

Blend all ingredients in a blender.
Yields: 1.5 - 2 cups


FRUIT SMOOTHIE

1 banana
8-9 Brazil nuts
1.5 C. orange juice
Spinach (handful, approx 1 C.)
6 sprigs of cilantro
3 sprigs of parsley
1/2 C sprouts (she used Fenugreek)

Yields: 2.5 Cups

**Sometimes she adds a few lettuce leaves too. Also adds either strawberries or blueberries or pineapple or cranberries to taste. Can also use hazelnuts/filberts or pumpkin seeds or almonds instead of brazil nuts to add a different taste (about 1/3 C.) It's nice to save half of the mixture to drink later in the day. It will give you energy!

[juliefabian]

Adding a few pieces of frozen broccoli is really good to any smoothie. also, love chlorella! (i like the lighter green color one from Z naturals - thin cell wall)

[bananaberrie]

water
spinach
frozen pineapple
frozen mango
two ripe bananas

yum!

Yep! that's my fav green smoothie too. So Yummy:heart

[Zipfelmuetze]

Hmmm, I never saw a lot of carrot in these recipes. I am in love with carrot juice! I typically add:

-Carrot (two or three)
-Cucumber (Whole cucumber)
-Celery (one or two sprigs)
-Spinach (An entire bag of organic baby Spinach)
-Leafy Greens (An entire bag of organic)
-Strawberries (I don't juice these, they get mixed with the juice in the blender)
-Banana (one, also gets mixed in the blender)

If I leave out the strawberries or banana it takes a lot more motivation to drink. They do such a great job of making it palatable!

[Lesla]

My favorite green juice, not a smoothie is:

2 tomatoes
3-4 carrots
lg bunch of spinach
handful of lettuce
3 celery stalks
half a cucumber
a clove of garlic
half a jalapeno
couple dashes of cayenne
a dash of salt

It would probably be a good smoothie, too!
